Peer demands independent investigation into DWP prosecution of subpostmasters.

Over 100 were prosecuted by DWP for alleged frauds. What accounting system did it rely on?

Were they bullied into confessing?

Govt promised a review a year ago. Nothing done. Must end the scandal.

Yorkshire Water and Northumbrian Water have nearly 200 criminal convictions between them.

On 6 August 2024, Ofwat announced fines of £47m and £17m for sewage dumping.

Headline grabbing fines not paid, will never be paid. Companies claim to have invested.
Public ownership of water is the only way to deliver security, efficiency, investment and value for money
37 years of privatisation has been a disaster

We always thought this was going on but it was never proved. Now it has been. If this doesn't break the Starmer government, nothing will.
JPMorgan should ‘threaten’ UK over banker tax, Mandelson told Epstein.

Mandelson was Business Secretary at that time in 2009.

After leaving govt in 2010, Mandelson set up an advisory firm called Global Counsel, JPMorgan was a client.

Must be investigated.

House of Lords should strip Mandelson of peerage, says Starmer.

That alone won't do. Mandelson leaked sensitive govt info. How many times did he do so? Who benefited from the leaks?

Mandelson advised Starmer. Starmer made him US ambassador. What did Starmer know?

I really can’t keep up with this. It’s like every vague suspicion of oligarch, finance and tech power come together - with Russian influence.

Yes, you’re not imagining. Only Mandelson, Lebedev, Milner and Epstein and L’Affaire Russe

Reform's candidate for the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matthew Goodwin, continues to make the headlines for all of the wrong reasons and shows once more just how disastrous a Reform led government would be for the UK

Reform candidate Matt Goodwin criticised after being pictured with far-right Steve Bannon
That Goodwin feels comfortable associating with such far-right figures tells you why his politics of division must be opposed.

In a speech at KU Leuven today, former Italian prime minister and European Central Bank president Mario Draghi argues that the old economic world order is dead, and that Europe must "move from confederation to federation" to avoid decline and subservience.

So weird............he always looks like a robot.
Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Belgian PM Bart De Wever,

"President Trump is hostile to the idea of the European Union"

"When he says he loves Europe, he means he loves 27 countries, that would be slaves to the US"

"Because the only economy strong enough to stand up to Trump is the European Union, and he doesn't like it"

Thank you Pedro Sanchez
Of course he would! He’s pragmatic & wants the best for all Europeans 😊

Speaking in an interview with British political magazine The New Statesman, Sánchez said Spain “misses” the UK as part of the European project and would support its return should the country decide to pursue EU membership again
