"Farage repeatedly... said Hitler was right and 'gas 'em', and that was frequently followed by a 'sssss'... the sound of escaping gas.

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

Very true! Plus our foreign policy hasn’t exactly helped!🤔😔

"That is why the policy of cutting aid and investment to poor countries is a very poor sighted policy"

Exactly!🤔
This govt has been in power for over a year yet there’s been little if any communication about progress in these areas.
Imho if members of the HoL breach rules e.g Lord’s Dannatt & Evans plus those mentioned here, why isn’t there a mechanism for kicking them out?😡

Labour Govt’s Budget Choices

Tax the rich; end tax abuse; end privatization of essential services; reduce poverty and inequality, and boost investment.

Without boosting purchasing power of the bottom 50% govts can't deliver sustained economic growth.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

🔥 Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.

A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:

A 6–8% hit to GDP

That's £180bn-£240bn a year

It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.

Sounds a good plan!🤔🇺🇦✊
No less than €180 billion in frozen Russian assets are dispersed across the European Union.

The EU plan would be to deploy €140 billion (£122bn) of these assets as a zero-interest “reparations loan” to Ukraine, providing Ukraine with urgently needed resources.

The main target was energy infrastructure.
Six people were killed.
There’s damage across the city.

Why can’t they simply be booted out of the HoL instead of only being suspended?? Let’s face it, anyone else in a normal job would’ve been sacked for such blatant self enrichment!☹️

Indeed! Why not?😡
Chancellor Rachel Reeves hints at welfare cuts.

Why do govts not cut corporate welfare?

Subsidies for auto, steel, oil, gas, biomass, internet, shipbuilding and others, without any equity stake.

Profiteering by energy, water, phone, house builders, care home, dental care companies.

As many of you know, I do a lot of volunteer work with asylum seekers and refugees. One thing that’s going on is that Labour’s hostility towards migrants and the counterbattery from Tories and Reform is causing horrific fear and anxiety among vulnerable people who deserve our protection.
