She cynically bought votes with huge discounts to council tenants. Often often with relatives greedily seeing a chance of eventually cashing in. I know Lab. and Lib. supporters who bought their parents council houses and now they rent out as private landlords like ladies who do! Capitalism corrupts

One of the people in this picture sadly took her own life. A second is behind bars. The third is eighth in line to be Britain's unelected head of state.

Mr Lewis you're absolutey right!

But, when are you going to leave the #RightWing #Labour party? They're no longer on the #left & they support the privatised companies, just like the #Tories.

Come & join the #Greens 🙏

What an absolute cluster.

Private companies in effect alleging the Thames Water bidding process is rigged. Who’d have guessed!

Ministers should just fess-up. This charade has never been about the public interest.

It was always about keeping water in private hands at any cost.

Rachel Reeves set to launch ‘blitz on business bureaucracy’ to save firms £6bn.

Translation - cut transparency, accountability, check on business abuses.

Govt may reduce public filing requirements for small companies. Expect more shell company abuses.

Katie Lam on #Peston last night: ‘Britain wasn’t built in migration, it was built by British people’. All credit to her for ticking 4 boxes in one sentence because that was absurd, racist, fascist and despicable all at the same time.

Join the club. My partners a lifelong Sunderland supporter and I’ve picked up a number of handy phrases like ‘they came up from behind’ or ‘they led from the front’ or ‘the fans were right behind them’ & chuck in ‘yes’ with varying intonations. Went once! and spent most of match in chip queue

£17 a month 'standing charge' for electricity.
The logic goes something like this,
"We'll carefully meter your usage and charge you based on that, so that you can be thoughtful and economise, and then we're going to chuck a big chunk on top because FUCK YOU."
Thanks, you corporate leeches

STOP REPEATING THE LIE THAT HAMAS KILLED 2 IDF SOLDIERS YESTERDAY.

They drove over an unexploded bomb, that had been dropped by Israel, in a bulldozer.

Israel used that as an excuse to murder 44 Palestinians.

Stop feeding Israel's lie.

Lisa Nandy: "He's right to say that it is unprecedented in recent times that an entire group of away supporters have been entirely banned from a game"

Unprecedented in recent times? In 2023 Legia Warsaw fans were banned from a game at Villa Park.

Those backing the ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans visiting Birmingham were smeared as antisemites.

Then Tel Aviv police banned the city's derby after riots.

This whole saga is defined by lies and smears.

Here's the truth 👇

Not all cages need walls.

The threat of poverty isn’t motivation, it’s manipulation.
This system doesn’t reward hard work, it rations survival.
Just enough to keep you quiet.
Never enough to let you leave.

A meme from The Simpsons shows Smithers pointing a gun at a man labeled “workers,” forcing him to smile. Over Smithers are the words “a system that requires obedience on pain of homelessness and starvation.” The caption reads: “That’s it, big smile, everybody’s happy.”
