Biggest cause is profiteering led by energy, water and food businesses. No govt checks it.

Real average wage stuck at 2008 level. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. Govts needs to remove cash from the rich.

Israel has destroyed the "ceasefire" in hours.

It is murdering Palestinians, and maintaining its illegal siege.

Not a ceasefire.

This is a huge story but massively under the radar in the UK.

A US Christian legal org called the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is working to roll back abortion rights here using the same playbook it used in the US: briefing politicians, watching, waiting.

Brexit is Farage and his fellow Brexiters' shitstorm to own. He/they can't be allowed to just pivot from heckle to heckle and bad idea to worse - while blaming everyone else - without consequences.

So the suggestion that Labour are going to amplify that truth is to be welcomed.

We have got no money in UK because all our Govts' have handed out crony contracts and to US equity companies, let bankers pay no tax on their bonuses. Let companies in Freeports pay no customs and excise tax too. Let Black Rock advise them on how we need to pay instead. Brexit has contributed too.

LET’S RE VISIT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN REFORM AND RUSSIA!

Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales, pleaded guilty to eight counts of bribery. He was taking payments to peddle narratives that would have had the effect of being beneficial towards Russian interests.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social The victorious tone of the event in the Knesset disgusts me. These people are war criminals. This should not be live-streamed on radio and TV. Over 67,000 civilians were murdered, a figure likely go rise considerably as the rubble is cleared.

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

Serial racist, fraudster, violent thug, Yaxley, in court right now under the Terrorism Act.

A reminder that Paul Golding, of neoNazi Britain First, was found guilty under the same section of the same law.

He received a “conditional discharge“.

So, unlikely Yaxley will go to jail for this.

Laura Kuenssberg has interviewed all the Party Leaders with more than 10% in the polls.

Except Zack Polanski.

She cancelled his interview and now refuses to do it.

They are scared of Zack, they are scared of you.

"The government have actively avoided looking for evidence Russia interfered."

The Intelligence & Security Committee's Stewart Hosie said the government didn't investigate alleged Russian interference in the Brexit vote, and no one wanted to touch this "with a ten-foot pole".
