An arms firm owned by Israel’s government paid a group of MPs as part of a “PR and marketing campaign”, an inquiry has found, following our investigation.

Will this be considered in the government’s review of “foreign interference” in Britain?

£18 - hourly rate for a resident doctor after the 29% rise

£24 - hourly rate for a physicians assistant

If you're ok with assistants earning more than actual doctors, congratulations, you've fallen for Streeting and Starmer's attack on the people who will keep you safe when you fall ill, doctors

Greens welcome #GreatBritishRailways but what about rolling stock?

ROSCOs paid £275m in dividends to shareholders last year - a huge drain on public finances!

I urge the Government to find ways to bring our rolling stock into public hands.

As things stand, child poverty is on track to reach record highs by 2029-30.

By then, we predict that more than one-in-three British children (34 per cent) would be growing up in poverty.

That's the highest rate of child poverty we'd have seen since 1961 ⤵️ buff.ly/qVc9CWs

Our leaders talk about immigration but never its causes

Causes of migration

1. Never-ending wars sponsored by the West
2. Climate Change caused largely by the West
3. 100s of years of colonial & post colonial capitalist impoverishment of the Global South by the West

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.

He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.
