The ‘People’s Reform Party’ pissed £16k up the wall on helicopter joyrides and £5k on a chauffeur for Anne Widdecombe in 2024. 2025’ll be worse. Donate if you like being mugged off by posh hate tourists from Dubai cosplaying as “working people."

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

I am so proud to be able to be part of a government that is finally delivering for our communities.
For years the Tories underfunded local government, and we all paid the price. Now Labour is investing in our communities again, with £234m for Nottinghamshire County and £154m for Nottingham City.

A third of 16-18 year olds girls say in surveys that they experienced unwanted sexual touching at school. There are several hundred rapes reported in schools every year.
Dog-whistle and factually incorrect. Ladies, raise your hand if you were sexually assaulted by a boy at school? I’d wager this or a family member is most women’s first experience of sexual violence

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.
