A billionaire worth £17,000,000,000 who moved to Monaco to dodge £4,000,000,000 in tax is blaming immigrants for Britain’s problems.
If parasitic billionaires like Ratcliffe paid what they owe — & politicians weren’t in their pockets — our NHS, schools & public services wouldn’t be on their knees.

Jim Ratcliffe claims he's against people who don't want to work for a living, but then praises Farage, the most infamous shirker of all.
Jim is a nasty, bigoted racist. Nasty bigoted racists are the problem, not migrants. Old, rich, white men have a lot to answer for.

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.
Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’
I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.
She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

The law on universities and free speech prevents speakers from being *disinvited after they have been invited*. It does not require universities to provide a platform to whoever demands one.
Let's not mince words: the threat to cut funding to every university who disagrees with them is fascist.

This is pretty menacing.
Sarah Pochin wrote to Bangor's university student run debating society requesting that she attend to "answer questions from students."
When they said "no" Reform rolled all it's tanks onto the lawns and said they'll cut funding to the entire university if they win.

Enabling a genocide, spouting rhetoric harmful to vulnerable groups, cutting UC entitlement from April for disabled/ill people, giving our data to Palantir...
