@RaveCozensHardy@radi_georgi @Richard20984682 Eugenics and market fundamentalists with right-wing outriders. Not more and not less. They think they got superior genes so the law doesn't apply to them, they don't give a sh*t as a not-fit-for-work unit is disposable in their eyes.
The rest is smoke screen and gaslighting.
Robert Jenrick is chasing a guy who stole a bottle of Coke worth about £2, but this is the same Robert Jenrick who helped his mate avoid paying £40 million in tax when he was Housing Secretary.
Tonight I'm speaking in San Francisco in support of Proposition 40, the California billionaire tax.
When 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck while Musk owns more wealth than the bottom 53% of households, the billionaire class must start paying their fair share of taxes.
Remember how alarming the first reports from RAF Fairford sounded?
We now have six arrests, six suspects released on bail and confirmation that no improvised explosive devices were found.
The investigation continues, but the public deserves clarity when the facts are established.
🚨 Sky News @danwnews came to the farm to look at what the diesel crisis means in the real world.
Farming is completely dependent on fuel 👉and when diesel prices surge, farms and hauliers feel it first and those costs then work their way through the food system.
‼️ But there is a deeper problem.
Britain spent decades operating inside European supply chains and resilience arrangements. Brexit removed us from that architecture, but we never built enough domestic resilience to compensate. Instead, refining capacity fell, dependence on imported fuel increased and we carried on assuming global markets would always deliver.
Now that assumption is being tested. The UK has only four working refineries, diesel imports are a major part of our fuel supply, and the US,
now a key supplier, has openly considered restricting diesel exports.
Meanwhile Europe still holds substantial emergency diesel stocks, particularly in France and Germany.
That is the paradox of Brexit sovereignty: greater freedom on paper, but greater dependency in practice.
And it is why I keep saying food security is national security.
🔴KEMI BADENOCH: Housing Benefit
'Taxpayers foot the £2,700 a month rent on @KemiBadenoch's six-bedroom farmhouse in Essex.
Then she goes on telly and argues that taxpayers shouldn't subsidise other people's rent.'

Heidi Siegmund Cuda reflects on how the Trump regime’s cynical use of ‘God’ as cover for its greedy, bloody, and criminal actions mirrors fascist regimes, both past and present

My thanks to everyone expressing their outrage and concern. Of course there are millions of people whose lives are threatened by Russia every day in Ukraine, and Ukrainian victory remains the best form of security for me, my colleagues, and all of Europe.
If you still think that Reform is a serious party, then you are not SERIOUS. A few months ago they said they won’t guarantee the TRIPLE LOCK because the country can’t afford it. Today they are all out saying they will guarantee it. LIARS, they will say anything for votes.
Man with stubble, "Small boats arrivals are 37,000. There are over 4 million kids in child poverty. And 4.5 million who can't get a dentist appointment" #BBCQT
"We spend 90% of the media discourse on the 37,000. How much more could we achieve if we put that effort into the 4.5 million?"
Well said that man 👏
@SkyNews £1 BILLION in pre-tax profit.
That’s the profit South West Water made over the period covered by the offences (2015–July 2021).
The fine? £7.87 MILLION.
That’s just 0.78% of the profit.
That looks less like a meaningful deterrent and more like an acceptable cost of operating.
South West Water (SWW) has been fined almost £8m for hundreds of sewage spillages across Devon and Cornwall over a six-year period.

They’ve been dumping shit in the rivers for six years and the punishment is a fine smaller than the CEO’s annual bonus. We get the sewage and the price rises, they get the dividends. It fucking stinks, in more ways than one.
UK public sector bodies spent £17bn with offshore-owned private equity firms last year.
The same vultures received £31bn public sector contracts.
Profiteering, tax dodging, asset-stripping is their business model.
How many have politicians on payroll?
