“In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologising”

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Couldn’t really be more starkly apparent that the choice is now Billionaires or Democracy, IMO. We can have one or the other but not both, as this system is currently constituted.

In November an 18 month investigation into ADHD concluded.
It found ADHD is massively underdiagnosed with less than 1 in 20 people over 40 receiving treatment.
It said GPs need to be diagnosing it.
Instead a review has been launched looking into it being 'overdiagnosed'

Police slip-up on arrest of Jewish woman opposing genocide was farcical
You can't make this up! Police arrested a Jewish Palestine Action supporter for 'terrorism'—then de-arrested her after forgetting the evidence

It's not a new low, it just the same old gutter level lies & abuse they always use.
Well done Emma Barnett on #r4today exposing the blatant antisemitism of Richard Tice, MP (and deputy leader of Reform) - he called the Jewish man abused at school by Nigel Farage with the foulest of antisemitic language a liar and said it was “lefty twaddle”…
A new low for Farage, Tice, and Reform…

The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

Why is this not being stopped by public resistance & official "checks & balances?"
Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
