Exceptional comments from the Green's Sarah Wakefield #BBCQT
"I only recently got involved in politics in this way, I'm actually on maternity leave at the moment"
"I realised that there is no one else coming to save us, if you have an opinion about what we should do as a country, you have to get involved"
"We've seen on the panel here exactly the problem people have with trust and confidence, because we're all knocking points with each other, saying we're more honest than the other person"
"When actually, the fundamental problem we have in this country, for 40 years, deindustrialisation, topped off with 15 years of austerity; which to be honest the Labour government haven't done enough to address"
"And we're all feeling the squeeze, the pinch"
"We should be looking at the massive inequality in this country"
"50 of the wealthiest families in this country hold more wealth than 50% of the county - that's 34 million people"
"That cannot be right"
"For the Green party, it's not just about changing culture in Westminster, changing Westminster culture won't change the country"
"We need to start having serious conversations about who is contributing for a better future for our children, to solve the climate crisis, to get our high streets going, to make sure we can have the money back in towns and villages so our young people stay here, work hard and have better lives"
"That's what we're all about"
Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.
Not gonna lie, wild way to start the week.
Was truly an honor to sit down with Variety and talk about short form content leading directly to my role on Dark Winds, as well as other filmmaking opportunities, especially in the world of Obsession and Backrooms’ obvious success.
Channel 4 News's Clare Fallon tracks down Nigel Farage who was absent from Parliament today avoiding questions about the £5m donation
She asks him about it
He jumps into his car and drives off
So growth higher than expected and inflation lower than expected. Net migration and small boat numbers also down. It’s still tough for many families but these statistics are going in the right direction.
He bought a house in Clacton.
No, actually, his girlfriend bought it.
I barely even knew him.
No, actually, I knew him very well.
The money was for my security.
No, actually it was a gift for Brexit.
Literally nothing Farage says is true.
Rayner has been cleared, but the media ran 30 front pages in total, averaging 4 front pages a day during the peak of the story.
Farage's £5 million gift has had two front page stories.
Why would there be such a difference in reporting standards for the two?
Nigel Farage does not give a toss about winning a 2nd election.
If he gets into power he will Americanize the UK.
Health Insurance will make HIM billions and the US billionaires TRILLIONS.
He will destroy the UK and the lives of 99% of the people in it.
And retire to the USA
In Sunderland, Reform stood David Barker.
Who beat his girlfriend “black and blue”.
He also neglected and burnt his child with cigarettes. He was given a suspended sentence.
It comes up when you Google him.
He won in the council election.
He’s now a Reform Councillor.
TV presenter to Farage
"You promised local council tax cuts"
"I never said that"
"Here is a film of you saying it"
"I never said that"
"The film clearly shows you saying it"
"Can we move on now?"
"Here is one of your leaflets where you say it"
"Next question"
Keir Starmer has been a disappointment, but anyone calling him 'Britain's Worst Ever Prime Minister' in a world where Liz Truss & Boris Johnson exist must have been kicked in the head by a horse
The reason everything seems so fake is because the working-class has been squeezed out of the music business, journalism, TV and movie production.
Some interesting introspection from Rick Beato.
Why Only Rich Kids Make It In Music Today
JUST IN: A Trump judicial nominee was asked point blank: is Trump eligible to run for a third term?
Their answer: “I would have to review the actual wording…”
Sen. Chris Coons then asked every nominee in the room to confirm the Constitution bars a third term.
Silence.
Every single one of them refused to say it.
Trump is appointing judges who won’t affirm the 22nd Amendment to his face.
Never stop connecting the dots.
🚨HOLY COW: Jon Ossoff just HUMILIATED JD Vance:
“I don't know if you saw, but JD Vance was in Georgia this week.
NO ONE SHOWED UP. The stadium was empty.”
AND THEN OSSOFF WENT NUCLEAR:
“But JD came to UGA to attack the Pope, two days after Donald Trump depicted himself as Jesus Christ.
The faithless President depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice.
While he and his family rake in billions from foreign princes.
While he plunders our health care to cut taxes for the rich.
Meanwhile rent, power, groceries, and health care have hit all-time highs this year.
Ground beef's up 20% since Trump took office. Coffee, 40%. Health premiums: through the roof.
And remember: while you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions of dollars.
Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it."
Please enjoy this video from last year in which Richard Tice opines liberally about Angela Rayner’s tax affairs and calls for her departure. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before he applies this very strict moral principle to his own tax arrangements.
The media moved on like nothing happened.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Keep sharing this so it doesn’t get buried.
✨🎬 New Acting Reel 🎬✨
I’ve been so lucky and am truly grateful for these last 18 months. Worked with amazing people on amazing projects. It really kicked off once I made my short, created space for myself and showed that back to the industry.
Gotta keep going!
