Today, Lee Anderson MP wrote a post on X that breaks sub judice rules and is in contempt of court, about a live criminal case. He was warned to be careful about what he said publicly by Notts Police. He ignored that advice. I have written to the AG and Lord Chancellor informing them of his contempt.

Thames Water, which is over £16 BILLION in debt, has just been granted a £3 billion rescue loan. Last December it was still paying fat dividends to bosses and shareholders.

This corporate greed and entitlement needs to be stopped.

As I’ve said before: It’s fucking WATER.

Does this demonstrate that she is clueless and unprepared - or -
is it done to get the right wing press to publicise the comment by headline, with the reply buried much later in the article, if at all?
Badenoch: “The govt is recruiting a new chief inspector of borders, who lives in Finland & wants to WFH, this is not serious”

Starmer: “He was appointed in 2019 by the last govt, he then worked from Finland. He’ll now be working from the UK full time”

Nigel Farage, the man who has done more than anyone alive in Britain today to hurt British farming, in *actual* costume, cosplaying an ally.

I think the farming community need to realise how much his presence politicises their protest and hurts their credibility. ~AA

Thought experiment for Labour…
With over 4yrs and a huge majority, why not stir it up? Pitch your tent defiantly on the liberal lawn, loudly reject the epic failures of Brexit and rightwing immigration ideology and see how many liberal votes you gain instead of chasing Reform into a toxic dead end?

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

5 years of Brexit...

In 2020, Yorkshire Bylines started the "David Downside Dossier"; named after David Davis' infamous quote that there would be no downsides to Brexit.

The DDD started recording "downsides" published in the media.

In Sept 2024, the DDD hit 2,000 recorded downsides -and stopped.
The Davis Downside Dossier
David Davis famously said there would be no downsides to Brexit only considerable upsides - so we started recording them.

Broadcasters who repeated this obvious bollocks are not required to make any correction or apologise to their listeners/viewers. And I saw at least two columnists making hay with it. They too will retract nothing.
The @Telegraph, @thetimes, @MailOnline & @TheSun publish corrections to their scaremongering on undocumented migrants in London.

Imagine between them the reach & power of these papers.
The fact is they are using that power to instil Trumpist hate & we are ill-equipped to resist.

Abandoning trans rights means abandoning ALL rights. They are inseperable.

Abandoning trans people is to abandon all people, and indeed our very humanity.

Think about what the fascist asks for, and then think of the totality of its cost. And then say no. To all of it.
“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”
Abandoning trans people is 'fascist logic', says leading feminist philosopher
Leading feminist philosopher Judith Butler has declared that abandoning trans people or any minority is operating within 'fascist logic'.

Brexit was a con.

Sold on a pack of lies by fantasists, ladybird libertarians, chancers, xenophobes and spivs.

On this day of all days we should take a moment to remind everyone of that.

2016: The sun has risen on an independent UK
2023: Brexit has failed
2023: We were more competitive in the EU
