The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.
I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?
Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Gary #Neville who opened his hotel free of charge to #NHS staff who needed somewhere to stay during the early stages of lockdown is a traitor.
#Reform UK's Nathan #Gill who took bribes from #Russia is a #Patriot.
What a weird fucked up nation the UK has become.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.
Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.
Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers.

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him.

Picked up some Lib Dem stats at conference. Some of these surprised me (especially given media coverage):
1. The Liberal Democrats now control more councils than the Conservative Party
2. In May's local elections in England, the LDs elected more councillors than either Labour or the Tories.

The truth: we need migration.
The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.
Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.
Reject it. Draw the line.
