La Policía carga contra españoles indignados en Ceuta.

No he visto ni un solo video de un palo a un ilegal en estas horas.

@BoyGeorge Didn't you make a big deal about how you were leaving X a couple of weeks ago?

[Bernie @Artemisfornow]

I don’t care that he used to be in a pop band. I care that his experience since leaving it appears to be Oxford, a left-leaning think tank, the Treasury and then straight into advising Andy Burn’em (was he a fan boy?)

This man has never built a business, created jobs, juggled cash, put his house on the line or ever sat on the board of a company.

How can he give ‘advice’ if he has no experience? An Oxford degree and a record deal do not qualify you to advise on an economy.

We are so fucked (technical term)

🟠 GINA RINEHART GAVE THE ABC BOARD ONE WEEK. IT SAID NOTHING, SO THE LAWYERS MOVED 🟠

Hancock Prospecting wrote to the ABC board on 23 July asking it to remove the film describing Gina Rinehart being sodomised and killed, apologise publicly, and investigate how it was approved.

A week passed. Hancock says it got no substantive response and the film stayed up. It has now placed ABC chair Kim Williams, deputy chair Lisa Caffery and managing director Hugh Marks on notice of detailed allegations of serious breaches of Australian law. No proceedings have been filed.

The ABC says it will respond in due course. The film is still online.

A woman who confessed to having anxiety attacks around white people wants to be the governor of Wisconsin, an 85 percent white state. If this doesn’t immediately destroy her campaign and career then we’re doomed as a country.

🚨NEW: Labour minister Louise Haigh denies Europe is facing an "invasion" of illegal migrants after the Spanish border was stormed by 60,000 people

[@GBNEWS]

[Michael Shellenberger @shellenberger]

It’s the “images” she finds unacceptable. Not that Spain opened its border to 50,000+ people to enter illegally. The reason she and @sanchezcastejon are trying to shut down X is so people won’t see these images.

[Eva Vlaardingerbroek @EvaVlaar]

What is unacceptable, are your lies and blatant hypocrisy.

You are RESPONSIBLE for replacement migration.

You blocked the registration of the @SaveEuropeAct, telling 600,000 people who want closed borders and remigration that they’re racists and against European values.

You’re not fooling us.

BP has pulled out of the North Sea after being battered by Labour windfall taxes.

The company has put its North Sea business up for sale, ending more than 60 years of oil and gas production in the basin.

Mad Miliband's refusal to grant new oil licenses has clearly aggravated BP's position.

Net Zero is a money-making sham that is destroying our pockets, our industry, our economy and our country.

This corrupt cretin belongs behind bars for preventing BP from competing against global rivals.

THE UNIONS GAVE LABOR $142 MILLION. THAT’S THE SMALL NUMBER.

Twenty-seven years of AEC receipts. I pulled every line where a union gave money to the Labor Party.

$142,236,905.

That’s after de-duplication. The raw figure is $156 million, but the same payment can appear on both a divisional return and a branch return, so I stripped the doubles. Eight point eight per cent came out. The number that stands is $142 million.

Now the same query, the other way. Union money to the Liberals, the Nationals and the LNP across the same twenty-seven years:
$82,284.

Not million. Eighty-two thousand dollars. Point zero five per cent. Union political money in this country goes to one place.

So far, what you expected. Here’s what you didn’t.

Over the same period, non-union money to the Labor Party, companies, individuals, associated entities, everything that isn’t a union, comes to $1,199,485,934.

One point two billion dollars.

Unions are eleven and a half per cent of what Labor discloses receiving. Corporate and private money is nearly eight times larger. And the Coalition took $1,394,046,222 from non-union sources over the same years.

The fair reading, and it matters. Unions are affiliated to the Labor Party under its own rules. This isn’t hidden money, it’s structural, declared, and it comes with votes at conference that no corporate donor gets. That’s a real distinction, and it cuts in Labor’s favour on transparency and against it on influence.

But anyone who tells you the unions own the Labor Party is arguing with the Electoral Commission’s own file. The unions gave $142 million. Everybody else gave $1.2 billion.

The question nobody asks is who everybody else is.

Cold hard facts. Sourced. Corrected when wrong.

What’s your thoughts…?

🚨 ANGELA RAYNER OVERRIDES LOCAL COUNCIL TO FORCE THROUGH DATA CENTRE INSTEAD OF SOCIAL HOUSING!

Housing Secretary Angela Rayner has just overridden local objections to bulldoze the historic Truman Brewery in east London to build an AI data centre.

There are currently 28,000 local people on the social housing waiting list in that borough alone.
Yet out of 44 flats being built on the site, Angela Rayner approved a plan that provides just SIX social homes! 🤡

Andy Burnham and Angela Rayner constantly promise a massive council house building drive for working class people. 💷

Yet the moment developers show up with 500 million pounds, Labour happily crushes local democracy to build tech data facilities instead of homes for British families!!
