If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Nationalisation is the only way to remove the cancerous Profitisation from Public Services.

It doesn't matter how much it costs, because it is already costing us far more, and it will continue until it is stopped.

The sooner the better is always the right choice.

Please Labour,
Stop with this Reform-aping arseholery. We see it for what it is and we hate it. We’re v tired of the nastiness, the cowardice and the dishonesty of blaming immigration for govt failures.
Put this nasty messaging in the bin and do better.
Thanks

Warley Woods' Bearwood Cheese has won an award!

The hard cheese, which is made from Squirrel milk, is known for its creamy texture and nutty after-taste. Warley Woods Dairy only set up its grey squirrel milking station last year, but the cheese has already proved a big hit with consumers!

A pond would be a good start if you don’t have one
I’m gonna try my best to turn my garden into a wildlife haven this summer to counteract the impact of the bastards out the back cutting down the beautiful trees. Already have perennials and roses, it’s not huge but will have a lot of sun now, any tips on plants that help birds/bees/butterflies?

Rachel Reeves: "What's Farage's answer on the economy? How is he going to make working people better off? How's he going to grow the economy? He's not got the faintest"

Biggest lesson of EU Referendum - that rationality does not in & of itself trump vision/emotionality - still goes unlearned. Why?

Private Equity Is Making Big Money From UK’s Most Vulnerable Children.

Due to privatisation 80% of children's care homes run by corporations.

Profit margins of 20%, lenders take another 10%, leaving less for care.

Substandard homes in distant places.

Govt won't end the scam.

As critics debate the cost of private capital’s inroads into many corners of the economy and public services, children’s homes have become a flashpoint.

Poverty is killing people.

Average male life expectancy in Blackpool declines to 73.1 yrs, females 78.9

Rich Kensington and Chelsea: 83,4 yrs for males, 86.5 females.

Hiking of UK state pension age hits the poor, results in wealth transfer from poor to the rich.
