When an MP can pocket more for a couple of hours of “work” than a nurse earns in a year, something is broken in our politics.
I've brought a Bill to ban ALL MPs' second jobs and will be launching a big campaign in the autumn to get this passed.

When @grok was asked who spreads the most disinformation on @x - it's response was to name @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk
X have deleted the response, RT it here before they delete this one!
They find it humiliating! RT!
I live in Sweden.
And I work more than half of my time in the United States.
I know both systems — not from headlines, but from daily life.
Sweden has a capitalist market economy.
Private ownership. Competition.
Global companies.
We also have social reforms: healthcare, paid parental leave, paid vacation, and social security.
This is not socialism.
This is not communism.
It’s capitalism with guardrails.
The market creates wealth.
Society prevents bad luck from becoming a life sentence.
Our freedoms are intact.
Our economy is competitive.
And no — this isn’t theory.
I live it.
Soon all the people who still remember the horror of life for working class people before the creation of the NHS will be dead... and their testimony will become hearsay to those who would strive to capitalise on ill health.
Harry Leslie Smith reminds us:
One of the entrances to the West Quadrangle of Glasgow University. This is part of the Gilbert Scott Building, constructed in the 1860s when the university moved from its original location on High Street to the West End of the city.

We need more British people to be educated like this guy.
The elites look for who to blame and the easiest option for them is to blame immigrants. They keep fooling the uninformed populace who would not even verify anything.
“Go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”
