Donald Tusk fights more for the future of the UK than any leader we've had over the last 15 years.

Tiktok has been banned in the US on the grounds that China could use it "to manipulate and control Americans by spreading propaganda and misinformation." In other words, China *might* do exactly what Elon Musk *has done* with X.
It's a blatant double standard.

Billionaires should not own social media platforms.

Billionaires should not run our newspapers.

Billionaires should not control our politics.

A free media is a democratic media - a public good that is owned and run by us all.

The Green Party are the party that are proposing a wealth tax, voting reform, a universal basic income, nationalisation of services & opposing the genocide in Gaza.

If journalists think those ideas aren't worth exploring - then that's a huge problem for all of us.

England’s privatised water system is a mess

As @premnsikka.bsky.social says ‘until the government deals with the root problems - companies paying billions in dividends while customers' bills skyrocket and our rivers are polluted - nothing will change," the Labour peer told Democracy for Sale.

Rail
National Grid
Telecoms

Same with housing refugees. Clearspring made a fortune. This is the true scandal.
Private companies milking the system to profit from human misery.

“When we left the European Union people were promised more money into the NHS, your living standards will be better and the opposite has happened”

Deputy PM Angela Rayner

This needs to be taken seriously and taken seriously now - not in 3 years' time.

Dear @keirstarmer2.bsky.social,

Please move the laws around political & campaign financing to the top of your list

Or…

Expect 1 term that ends in handing power of this country to a foreign billionaire proxy PM and his little puppet

Yours,

The people of this country paying attention.

Nigel Farage loves open borders - for the super rich

Thatcher and by extension, Blair and Starmer continued to cultivate the entrepreneurial individual, a meritocratic 'everyone-for-themselves, and trample on those who get in the way.

People like her should be nowhere near politics anywhere.

I'd be more worried if a Shadow Chancellor/Chancellor didn't have subscriptions to those titles paid for by our taxes.

UK media owners need to live in the UK and pay British tax. We need to change the system. UK media owners do not represent us at all."
