The corporate takeover of American politics was rapid and ruthless.

In the 1970s, I watched as thousands of corporate lobbyists descended on Washington. Fast forward to today, and lobbying has become a multi-billion dollar industry.

It all began with the Powell Memo.

This starts in June

£6.4bn a year, over the next 10 years taken from the NHS for nothing to give to US billionaires because Donald Trump demanded it.

In return we get nothing.

Only @ScotNational has reported on Streeting's colonial statement: https://t.co/sGsDi4Ll8c No other newspaper or broadcaster has even mentioned it & that is the problem. Scots are only told what the Brits want us to see or hear. Scotland is a colony of England.

Wow, a day with no gas burned in Scotland's to generate electricity - but all of Scotland's customers charged the higher gas-fired electricty price. Only independence will end this lunacy. Don't let this go on any longer.

Keir Starmer ditched Labour's plan for a so-called 'Amazon Tax' in June this year. We're not sure if Anas Sarwar knows. This is going to be awkward. Anas won't want this video circulated.

Grangemouth produced 97% of Scotland’s aviation fuel. We now have to import all our aviation fuel.
Scotland is Europe's 2nd biggest oil producer. We now have to import all our oil products at inflated prices.
Scotland: Asset-stripped. Wealth-extracted. Better-together? 🤔

When Sir Bobby Robson completed his final chemotherapy session in 2007, his oncologist Dr Ruth Plummer pulled him to one side. Her department was outdated, a new cancer unit had been planned, but there was no money to equip it. Did he know anyone who could help?

He took it home to his wife Elsie. She backed it without hesitation, and the phone calls started. A committee formed, and the idea emerged — use his name, build a charity around it.

Bobby wasn’t comfortable with it at first. But once his name was attached, there was no going back.

The target was £500,000 by summer 2008. The launch at the Copthorne Hotel was an immediate success, with Des Lynam, Bob Wilson and Jim Rosenthal all showing up out of nothing but goodwill.

Seven weeks later, they’d raised £560,000.
Today, the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation has raised over £20 million for cancer research.

Legend. ❤️

Energy companies made £30 BILLION in profit in a single year — while working people struggle to pay their bills - £500 from every household straight into corporate profits.

The system is working exactly as designed, just not for ordinary people.

Tony Benn was a politician who refused to be silenced. Here he is back in 2009, calling out a BBC decision to refuse to publicise a charity appeal to help Palestinians in Gaza deal with the humanitarian crisis provoked by Israel’s Operation Cast Lead. The conflict resulted in over 1,300 Palestinian deaths. Over 46,000 homes were destroyed in Gaza, making more than 100,000 people homeless.
