So Trump is working for Russia.
Farage works for Trump.
Reform works for Russia.
Why would anyone, in their right mind, support Farage and Reform?
Only if you’re either a paedophile and/or a racist I assume.

Thames Water is a test for the British economy.
It profits by ripping off customers.
Pays dividends, doesn't invest.
Since March TW borrowed £1.47bn.
Paid £900m in fees/interest for the emergency financing.

It is a particularly British paradox that one of the country’s biggest companies can both generate hundreds of millions in profit and be at imminent risk of bankruptcy. This is the story of Thames Wat...

It’s really simple…
- Cap all political donations
- Ban foreign donations
- Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties
- No titles, honours or peerages for donors
- No govt contracts for donors
- Publish every donation/lobby meeting
…that’ll do it.

With Trump and Infantino’s man crush, it looks like next year’s FIFA World Cup could resemble the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
And Infantino giving him a FIFA Peace Prize - whatever the f the relevance of that is - just makes me want to puke.
Is he in the Epstein files too?

Britain's political funding laws are a charred and smoking ruin. Ducking change was a catastrophic mistake by Labour.

Why do we give a toss about what they think.

Dear god, Badenoch is an awful person, saying welfare spending was raised to please Labour MPs.
Does she think

Does she even know what welfare is?
Does she care about real people at all?
