Why does this tax exile 'foreigner' think our government should discuss policy with him? He should feck off back to Monaco. Made his choice based on his own interest, to avoid tax. Anything he has to say will be only in his own interests, again.

Yes it’s easy to say tax the rich as a slogan when not in government. Likewise the government needs to demonstrate its approach and why it’s doing so as most people believe it’s doing nothing different to previous governments when demonstrably it is.

When you come at inclusion via the early years idea of creating an 'enabling environment' then what happens is that you adapt the setting to suit the children rather than trying to adapt the children to suit the setting.

The very worst PM to ever hold office. He should be prosecuted. He is a disgrace.

There is no honor in agreeing to cease committing genocide.

I’m thankful the peace agreement may work, but I cannot applaud when a man like Netanyahu agrees to stop murdering people.

Netanyahu should be arrested, not dignified.

The Daily Mail is making the Star look a serious newspaper. It’s just full of propaganda from unnamed sources and drivel from alleged journalists just trying to outdo each other to please the billionaire owner.

Latest England COVID-19 hospital bed occupancy up.
COVID-19 positive tests up.
COVID-19 deaths up.
COVID-19 cases up.
Data source @ukhsa.bsky.social
Why?
Limited vaccine eligibility, waning immunity, lower priority by leaders, mixing in poorly ventilated, cramped spaces. Scant use of face coverings.

A councillor on a children and young people committee described some children in care as "downright evil" and you’ll never guess which Party he’s in🤔

Yup Reform, a Party full of wrong’uns, misfits, bigots, racists, crooks, grifters & wife beating thugs that couldn’t run a bath never mind a council❗️

If anyone doubted that the BBC is deliberately not covering the Russian/Reform bribery scandal, those doubts should have been removed by Fiona Bruce interrupting to prevent it being discussed on BBC Question time last night. #BBCQT

Kemi Badenoch, "I want to stop people with ADHD getting Motability cars."

Well you don't need to, because nobody gets a Motability Car for ADHD.

You need mobility issues, which some people with ADHD also have.

This lurid headline is about British tourists no longer getting away with overstaying in Schengen. Or being 'illegals', as it's often called in the UK.

Sarah Murphy @13sarahmurphy.bsky.social · 1d

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

If ultra rich people move abroad to avoid paying UK taxes surely they should not represent any party at any political level let alone continue in parliament or the Lords. When they obtain residency in an other country shouldn’t their passport be cancelled.

What the hell does Farage thinks he’s doing, going off to America *again* to maliciously slag off British teachers at some private Christian college, while offering to peddle their courses over here?
What a repulsive, grubby little traitor.

Tip of the week: you cannot believe the negativity about Labour reported in the Guardian or any of the right wing rags. Especially if no one is named as a source. It’s lies, lies and damned lies.

Our media have failed us.
