The scandal of charging students RPI (Retail Price Index Inflation) on their loans to be trained to work in the state sector

Then Government only uses CPI (Consumer Price Index) for pay awards

Both cut into future earnings & affect those paying off all their loans the worst

If I’m the officer who emptied my clip into Alex Pretti’s back, I’m starting to get worried.

Also we need to know who the agent is who clapped and celebrated as his colleague fired 4 extra shots into his lifeless body. He should never work in law enforcement again.

Agents are about to find out how far they can take Stephen Miller’s promise that they have absolute immunity.

Great catch by @MeidasTouch “The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files & falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson & Ross’s own children

I first started diving into this fascinating rabbit hole when I came across another Canaanite goddess of sacred ecstasy, sexuality and fertility, Qadesh (or Qetesh) standing on a lion in the Egyptian Museum in Turin this October. She's often depicted nude, riding along on her lion (like Durga), holding snake & flowers, sometimes syncretized with Hathor, and often shown with Min and Reshep.

It is utterly fascinating to see the shadowy civilisation, literature and mythology of the Canaanites influence not only the theology of the ancient Israelites, but also that of Egypt. We are encouraged to think of these cultures are being separate but of course they are rubbing up against each other, and influencing one another, despite attempts on both sides to remove the “other” from their narrative. In many cases these old Canaanite gods and goddesses are quite literally demonised- hence the Satanic Christian Lucifer & Beelzebub.

This is a new world for me and I'd love some suggestions for further reading.

They say it's "too late" to explore Farage's election expenses.

They say that it doesn't matter where Farage got his £885,000 to buy his house in Clacton.

They say it doesn't matter that Farage and Nathan Gill were "Thick as Thieves".

This stinks of corruption.

Daily Mail say today we need Farage and Reform to save the country. A reminder of the role the Mail played in getting us into this mess.

Sky News saying Charlie Kirk’s death isn’t the time to talk about politics?! He was divisive and hateful which incites political violence, he supported free gun access. As this incident was unfolding, kids were simultaneously getting shot at in a school in Denver for fucks sake.

HMRC pays debt collectors hundred of pounds to chase people who owe as little as £89, losing hundreds of pounds on each case.

But it has let a £500,000,000 debt from Lord Bamford build up over more than 10 years.

HMRC isn't about collecting money.

FUN FACT: It has been 5,136 hours since the first day in office that trump said he'd end the Ukraine war in 24 hrs

It has ALSO been 19 weeks since the first time he said he was giving Putin 2 weeks to stop the war

And it's been 58 days since trump gave Putin 50 days (July 14) to end the war, or face "secondary tariffs"

You guys, I'm beginning to believe trump is full of shit, and the weakest President in United States history.
