Can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen
Hannah Spencer hounded for having part ownership of 2 properties
Bridget Phillipson attacked this week for her parents making a profit on a council house
Angela Rayner hounded for buying a second home
If 5 house m hidden £5million Farage hasn't got the balls to be in the game he needs to retire not hide
I've decided to leave this platform and my Department will too.
A platform originally designed for free speech and expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate.
It isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don’t want to support it.
It’s time e-bikes were properly regulated. Speed limits need to be lowered because they are, in effect, motorised vehicles.
“Jane Ouartsi was.. hit by a Lime bike…She suffered a broken femur, a fractured collar bone and two spinal fractures requiring three operations.” 1/2
Kemi Badenoch’s attack on Bridget Phillipson at PMQs today lays bare something deeper about the direction of their politics.
I’m proud that this Labour government has the most state-schooled Cabinet in the post-war era - people who didn’t grow up with privilege, but earned their place through hard work.
That’s the difference between us and them.
This Labour government believes background should never be a barrier to opportunity. Social mobility isn’t a slogan - it’s the whole point of a fair society. And yet too often it feels like there are those who want to sneer at it, undermine it, and drag us backwards.
We should be celebrating opportunity, not trying to hold it back.
The replies to this post have put absolutely beyond doubt that the hatred for Keir Starmer is 99% based on misinformation. Just read through them, people spouting the same misinformation they have been repeatedly fed over the last year or so, disproven countless times, but still believed and amplified by so many. This is how easy it is to brainwash millions of people if you have the resources. This is how societies are destroyed.
Caroline Lucas, "What happened on the streets of Belfast was being orchestrated by the far right, by Elon Musk, by a network of people who want this to happen"
Then Paul Brand's response is exactly why @mehdirhasan has set up Zeteo UK
PB jumps from the far right inflaming tensions, to criticising the Green Party saying they have a liberal approach to asylum and immigration
When Caroline Lucas again tries to make her point, "There's a huge amount of hysteria being whipped up against immigration, there are people whose agenda it is to use these terrible moments"
She's then cut off
Caroline Lucas trying to make the point that social media is being exploited to fan the flames of violence and division, but instead of talking about this, the broadcasters deflect and dismiss her observations
Really disappointing
Pathetic little man. Helps fuel race riots to take the heat off the limited media probing into his crypto financing. Avoids anything but tame interviews which allow him to spout his slogans. Takes sides with a fascist South African tech bro also whipping up racial hatred against the elected PM of UK, the country he claims to love and wants to lead. Demands apologies for word slips on the BBC (which made him). Yet to apologise for the Brexit which has made British people financially worse off (not him though)
Please repost if you want Elon Musk to keep his fascist pro-Russian nose out of British politics.
Our democracy is for the British people. It is not the plaything of the world's richest man.
Two foreign based Crypto dealers gave Reform £7m in the first three months of this year - why? What do they want? Farage has proposed tax breaks for Crypto, could that be part of the ‘deal’. We don't know, but suspicions like these abound in to our current system - of allowing private money to fund politicians.
Some £50m a year in total funds the parties vying to be the next government who in turn will direct the £20 billion a year civil service army (we pay for) to run our £3 Trillion economy (our economy) - we let £50m of private money have a hand on the wheel of every government for want of a paltry sum - why?
Let’s end the scandals, the suspicion and the corrosion of politics - don't just ban foreign donors, don’t just ban Crypto - Just Ban All Donations. Period.

Angela Rayner - £40k underpaid stamp duty - repaid. Lost jobs in Cabinet and Dep. PM.
Peter Murrell - £400k theft from SNP - going to prison
Huge coverage of both
Nigel Farage - £5m undeclared bung (possibly more) - goes to ground for a month.
Media coverage? You judge.
So despite Henry's dad making it clear that they "do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension”, Farage uses his death in an emergency address to create division for his own gain.
An awful politician.
I was a prison officer, Nick. You can't preach "tough on crime." Your lot cut nearly 7,000 prison officers since 2010 and handed our jails to G4S and Serco. You broke the system, then act shocked it doesn't work.
You know what actually works? Lads out on licence getting their track tickets, learning a trade, coming home as taxpayers instead of reoffenders. That's using human capital, not warehousing it. A lad sat in a cell doing nothing helps nobody.
And funny how quiet you all go on the tax dodgers and the oligarchs bankrolling Putin's war. Boris took a Russian ex-KGB man's hospitality at his Italian villa, dodged his own officials, then made the son a Lord. Where's your "lock them up" energy for that?
