Absolutely astonishing that this even needs to be debunked, esp when you read the details of the video.
Videos with thousands of shares on social media claim that people’s savings over £5,000 could be redirected into a national debt repayment fund from January 2026.

But the Treasury confirmed this isn’t true.
No, savings above £5,000 aren’t being taken to pay off the national debt – Full Fact
Claims circulating online that savings over £5,000 could be redirected into a national debt repayment fund from January 2026 are not true.

The revocation of citizenship is a fundamental and brutal discretionary power of the state.

One of the more depressing themes in recent judgments is how the courts nod-along and shrug when faced with this brute exercise of fundamental power, rather than subjecting this power to anxious scrutiny.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.

Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

Jon Stewart is actually really bad on public health stuff.

He promoted COVID lab leak conspiracy nonsense, giving liberals the permission structure needed to embrace it.

This fits squarely in with that. Dude clearly internalized a lot of bad info.
Jon Stewart and the pod saves guys mocking people who wear masks while talking about What Is To Be Done is exactly what Jon Stewart and the pod saves guys are, it's the most Jon Stewart and pod saves guys thing possible.
