@exitthelemming It is astonishing that a failed politician who set up a business, called it "Reform Ltd" & then chose himself as Leader (he owned the most shares) is now treated by the media seriously, failing to mention that Reform is not a Party but a privately owned business.
Mahsa Badii, a young Iranian woman, was sentenced by the Islamic regime to 3.5 years in prison.
Her crime was reading books about science, introducing them and encouraging others to read.
Her commitment to education is considered by the Islamic regime as directed against Islam and is classified as criminal.
Millionaire business owners urge Rachel Reeves to raise £14bn from rise in capital gains tax.
Lower rates of taxes on capital gains and dividends fuel tax avoidance too, and must be ended.
NIC must also be levied on capital gains and dividends.

@Lewis72G @Kearns_Richard_ @SirRogerGale I see the point, but I don't recollect even the feckless Corbyn claiming that the solution to Britain's decline was to abandon the Convention on Human Rights in order to drown more refugees.
@emceegeegee @Kearns_Richard_ @SirRogerGale The use of the word "Reform" to dress up Farage style fascism turns my stomach every time I hear it.
These 2 Tory "leadership" candidates sound indistinguishable from Farage, which is alarming, given our hamfisted version of democracy.

Trump sold you out. While you scoured supermarkets during the pandemic for Covid tests, Trump secretly sent America’s tests to Putin.
Let that sink in.
“America First” really meant “Trump First.” Your needs came second to Putin’s.
BREAKING 🚨! TRUMP has been having 7 secret conversations with Putin since he left office! And guess what? These calls just happened to line up with him pushing Republicans to block military aid to Ukraine. COINCIDENCE? HELL NO.
This is straight-up TREASON, people! 😡
And let’s not forget—while he was still in office, he secretly sent Putin COVID tests when the rest of us couldn’t even get them. Oh, and Putin asked him to keep it hush-hush. 👀
TRUMP can NEVER step foot in the White House again. If you’re still defending this, you’re part of the problem.

@AccountableGOP I thought there was a US law against people who are NOT the elected US President engaging in "foreign policy" to undermine the elected government?
Some would call it treachery.
JD Vance on the report that Trump had seven phone calls with Putin AFTER leaving the WH:
“Is there something wrong with speaking to world leaders? No. Is there anything wrong with engaging in diplomacy?”
2013: Conservative Minister for Business Michael Fallon, "The Royal Mail is finally profitable.. This is the right time for privatisation"
2024: BBC News, "Price of a first class stamp has risen.. Third price hike in a year.. Royal Mail is blaming urgent financial challenges"
Why has everything the Conservative party has privatised fallen apart, and ended up costing the public more with less value?
Anyone else of the view that national infrastructure and public services should remain in public ownership and not privatised? Water, rail, mail, energy?
