Labour said the early release scheme wouldn't apply to those guilty of “the most serious, heinous crimes.”

But they're going to let killers, rapists and sex offenders - including rape gang members - out early from prison.

[Sharyl Attkisson 🕵️‍♂️💼🥋 @SharylAttkisson]

When the dermatologist was just on Fox News debunking the idea that some chemicals in sunscreen aren't good for us, it sounded illogically dismissive of the studies and research.

I took a quick look.

I didn’t hear her disclose her paid relationships with big sunscreen makers. ☀️

This is part of a trend that I discovered decades ago. It permeates our news media landscape.

I learned that nearly every member of the national board of experts that lowered cholesterol guidelines and basically recommended that people should take more statins, worked for the statin makers.

I learned that many members of the board set up during Covid that restricted hydroxychloroquine... were paid by the companies that made other controversial treatments for Covid like remdesivir that were then prioritized over hydroxychloroquine.

It doesn’t stop there.

When the government and the cosmetics industry tried to falsely debunk the scientific studies linking antiperspirants and breast cancer, they referred me to the American Cancer Society for an interview. I learned that the expert at the American Cancer Society hadn’t even read the relevant studies, and yet was claiming the link was a myth. I asked and found out that the American Cancer Society takes money from the antiperspirant industry and other allegedly cancer, causing industries. However, they wouldn’t tell me how much.

When the nonprofit “every child by" was illogically denying the proven vaccine autism link, I dug in and found out the nonprofit was actually started by a vaccine maker in order to defend vaccine companies, and to controversialist those of us exposing the risks.

I was the first journalist to ask and report that the expert the government kept referring us to in order to debunk the vaccine autism link, Dr. Paul Offit, was not an independent expert at all, but was a vaccine inventor and vaccine industry insider… though that was never disclosed in the media at the time. He was always presented falsely as if he were an independent expert.

When I saw a lead dietary group giving questionable advice about nutrition, I learned that the group takes money from the sugar, cola, fast food, and preservative snack industry.

In short, whenever I’ve looked for a tie between experts defending a chemical or risk that could impact an industry's bottom line... I’ve always found one. Food for thought.

"Dr. Jody Levine has financial and professional relationships with several prominent consumer product companies that manufacture and market sunscreens.
Because sunscreen is legally regulated as an over-the-counter drug and is a core component of commercial skincare lines, her consulting roles inherently create potential conflicts of interest when she recommends sun protection or reviews skincare products in the media. 

Her specific ties to major corporate sunscreen manufacturers include:

1. Johnson & Johnson / Kenvue

Dr. Levine has served on the Medical Advisory Board for Johnson & Johnson. Johnson & Johnson’s consumer health spin-off, Kenvue, owns Neutrogena and Aveeno, two of the largest and most widely distributed sunscreen brands in the United States. In her media and print features, she has regularly recommended product categories or specific options overlapping with these brands, such as recommending Neutrogena Sport Face in broad consumer media interviews. 

2. Galderma (Cetaphil)

She has acted as a consultant and advisor for Cetaphil, a brand owned by Galderma. Cetaphil produces a substantial line of daily facial moisturizers with SPF, mineral sunscreens, and broad-spectrum sun protection lotions marketed heavily toward sensitive skin and pediatric care. 

3. Beiersdorf (Eucerin)

Dr. Levine has maintained consulting arrangements with Eucerin, a brand under the Beiersdorf corporate umbrella. Eucerin manufactures a wide range of daily anti-aging lotions with SPF, sensitive skin sunscreens, and body sun protection products. 

Impact on Media Appearances

When Dr. Levine appears on networks like Fox News or in print publications to deliver general public health messages—such as advising viewers to apply sunscreen 15 minutes before going outside or warning against the dangers of tanning beds—she is providing standard medical advice aligned with the American Academy of Dermatology. However, because she does not routinely issue on-screen financial disclosures listing her corporate partners during short news segments, viewers are generally unaware that she is paid by the parent companies of the very products sitting on drugstore shelves."

These people want a medal for going to state schools and growing up working class.

Lots of us did.

But they're accountable for their policies - not what their parents did.

And their policies are devastating for social mobility. https://t.co/X92BexKh9j

I’m still trying to process what just happened.

The highest ranking US intelligence official, just released smoking gun docs proving that Obama and his underlings committed treason/sedition.

Meaning Trump was right about everything, the news is fake, and the Deep State is real.

[Wide Awake Media @wideawake_media]

"We've actually got to replace the people that are really running things."

Former UK PM Lizz Truss warns that a "blob" of unelected bureaucrats is running the UK from behind the scenes, above the level of prime minister.

She advocates dismantling the current system by building a movement to remove this unaccountable bureaucratic class.

"We have an elite in this country that believe in open borders. They believe in Net Zero. They believe in woke ideology like transgender ideology. They don't care what people think."

"We need to build a movement that is actually going to change not just the political layer in this country, but the entire bureaucratic class, the BBC, the mainstream media. It all needs to change."

[Jim Chimirie 🇬🇧 @JChimirie66677]

The Manchester Model is also the Miliband Model

David Miliband joined the advisory board of Giant Ventures in September 2020. Five months earlier, his brother Ed had become Keir Starmer's shadow energy secretary. Giant Ventures is a London-based venture capital firm with a declared focus on green technology. Its portfolio includes Field, a battery storage company, and Beams, a green home renovation platform. Both stand to profit directly from the energy policies Ed Miliband now controls as Secretary of State.

Less than three weeks after Labour's election victory, Ed Miliband personally signed the Capacity Market Amendment Rules 2024. The document is technical. Its effect is not. Battery storage firms, including Field, benefited from rule changes that reduced the performance obligations previously required of contracted operators. Field had been a Giant Ventures investment since 2021. David Miliband was a paid adviser to Giant Ventures when his brother signed that document. Giant Ventures refused to disclose his remuneration. The firm's other advisory board members, including Lord Browne, record the position in their register of interests as remunerated employment.

The Ministerial Code requires newly appointed ministers to declare all interests that give rise to a conflict, including those of close family members. It requires them to avoid not merely actual conflicts but the perception of one. When both the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the Cabinet Office were asked whether Ed had declared his brother's role at Giant Ventures, both refused to comment. When the department was pressed further, its spokesperson confirmed only that the List of Ministers' Interests would be published "in due course." Giant Ventures declined to comment. David Miliband did not respond. That silence is the story.

Ed Miliband's department has also paid over one million pounds in public contracts to Verian Group, a research and communications firm whose board includes David Miliband, appointed as non-executive director in April 2023. The contracts funded work on public attitudes to Net Zero and secondary heating behaviours. The department's defence is that Verian has provided services to DESNZ for many years and the relationship predates the current Secretary of State. That may be true of the contract history. It does not address why neither department would confirm a declaration had been made, or why a minister whose brother sits on a contractor's board continued to approve payments to that contractor.

The pattern matters because it has a twin.

Andy Burnham governed Greater Manchester for eight years on a platform of clean transport and green infrastructure. His wife, Marie-France van Heel, joined Be.EV as chief marketing officer in July 2023, was promoted to chief customer officer in July 2024, and was appointed to the board of directors in September 2024. Be.EV holds a public contract with Transport for Greater Manchester to operate the city's electric vehicle charging network, a contract awarded in 2019. She holds 252 shares in Iduna Infrastructure, Be.EV's parent company, and is a beneficiary of a long-term incentive plan tied to the firm's commercial growth. Greater Manchester is now tendering a new £166 million EV charging contract. Burnham declares his wife's role. He steps back from relevant decisions. The paperwork is in order, which is precisely the point.

In both cases the politician sets the policy direction. In both cases a family member holds a financial stake in the commercial sector that policy governs. In both cases the defence is procedural. Declaration filed. Recusal noted. Nothing to see.

Britain is being asked to take the Manchester Model national and trust its architect with Downing Street. Before it decides, it should understand what compliance permits. A conflict of interest that has been registered is not a conflict of interest that has been resolved. It is a conflict of interest with a paper trail.

A man who wants to put a baby’s mouth around his nipple should prompt safeguarding questions.

A couple of men producing a few teaspoons of medically induced milk-like fluid is not scientific evidence that men can - or should - breastfeed babies.

If a man is experiencing gender distress to the extent that he wants to breastfeed a baby, it is reasonable to suggest he should be not be able to adopt or obtain a baby by any other means (e.g. surrogacy).

Saying this is not to suggest that all trans-identifying men are unsafe around children.

It is to recognise that men who are interested in breastfeeding babies may have a s*xual fetish - which is a clear safeguarding risk.

Which is precisely why we have to be able to discuss it openly - without accusations of bigotry shutting the conversation down. And question content like this - that seeks to normalise fetish behaviour.

Indeed accusations of bigotry around issues like this should surely make us question the motives of those trying to silence our questions.

Because what’s more important: protecting an adult from offence, or keeping children safe?

[James Esses @JamesEsses]

Forcing parents, on pain of conviction and imprisonment, to affirm their children to take puberty blockers and eventually have their breasts or genitals removed, is State-sanctioned child abuse.

Welcome to the United Kingdom under Labour.

[Katie Lam @Katie_Lam_MP]

The Government is planning to open a dozen new asylum centres.

Where? When? We don’t know.

Because rather than announcing it in Parliament, they tried to sneak it out without anyone noticing.

People deserve to know if illegal migrants are being dropped into their communities.

Yesterday this MP voted to support a clinical trial of puberty blockers for children as young as 11.

Today she’s proudly promoting Lush’s campaign to end animal testing.

Oh the irony. And what an interesting choice of campaign partner.

Lush has a history of promoting gender-affirming healthcare for children and young people, and was criticised only last week over a display that many felt glorified mastectomy scars associated with gender transition.

End testing on animals.
Support a puberty blocker trial for children.

Some people may struggle to reconcile those positions.

[Caroline Farrow @CF_Farrow]

They published the conversion therapy bill this morning. I’ve read all 20 pages so you don’t have to. It’s worse than the press release admits.

Doctors are protected; the bill carves them out.

Mums aren’t. There’s no equivalent line anywhere in it for a parent.

And “emotional pressure” is written in as something that can make your conduct “abusive.”

So a mum who urges her daughter to wait, to be at peace with her body, is left to a prosecutor’s view of whether that was abuse. She could get up to 5 years in prison.

It goes further. The police or your local council can ask a court to order you to stop, before any charge, before any offence, and even without you in the room to defend yourself. Breaking that order is itself a crime.

Hilary Cass was reassured doctors could keep working. Fine. Now show me the line that protects a mother.

There isn’t one.

It needs stopping.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Like I told @CSalcedoShow: There was a 10-year moratorium on gain-of-function research. Dr. Fauci kept issuing exemptions anyway. Some of those exemptions went to Wuhan, where they were creating viruses that never existed in nature. DNI Gabbard has now confirmed what I have been saying for years.
This week, I announced we are subpoenaing Anthony Fauci to come testify under oath about the origins of COVID and the circumstances surrounding his pardon.

[James Esses @JamesEsses]

If you’re a parent who tries to dissuade your child from taking puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones or having their breasts/genitals amputated - this government may send you to prison for 5 years.

Suggestion:

There are Muslim scholars and clerics who are talking about world domination, and extolling the beating of wives

The old-fashioned British people are not very keen on this. I'm talking about the far centre...

I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that 6,000 Palestinian terrorists invaded Israel and proudly live-streamed themselves slaughtering Jewish families on October 7th, yet many around the world still believe they are the victims.

Has the world lost its sense of clarity?
