This is Lord Rothermere the owner of the Daily Mail.

He lives in a massive mansion in the English countryside, but he pays no tax here because he identifies as French.

While the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and pays no tax anywhere.

That is his ‘Patriotism’.

For decades, Westminster has overseen the managed decline of towns like mine. We have talked big, then acted small, stuck in a politics of incrementalism that cannot meet the moment. We have lost the trust of those our party was built to serve.

It is my unwavering belief that nothing short of urgent, radical, courageous reform will make a difference. That must start with a change in leadership.

Today, I am putting the people I represent and the country I love first and will be resigning as MP for Makerfield. I am standing aside so that Andy Burnham can return to his home, fight to re-enter Parliament, and if elected, drive the change our country is crying out for.

This has not been an easy decision. This is my family’s home, where only a few weeks ago, doctors and nurses at Wigan Infirmary saved our newborn son’s life.

But we all must make choices and in recent days I found myself with a difficult one: defend the status quo or step forward and act. I have made my choice.

I am in politics because politics is how you change lives for the better. My party has one last chance to do that: deliver for the people and places I represent, drive economic growth, secure our borders, reform our state and politics, and change a status quo that is not working.

That is the fight. I believe Andy is the one to lead it.

This is the Keir Starmer “pledge” that sticks in my claw the most.

END NHS OUTSOURCING.

Not a single thing has been done to reverse NHS outsourcing, instead Starmer has given Wes Streeting (bought and paid for by private healthcare) carte blanch to outsource further.

Morgan McSweeney telling Sir Philip Barton, the former top civil servant at the Foreign Office, to bypass security for Mandelson’s appointment:

“Just F…ing approve it”

Anyone still believe McSweeney had his phone stolen?

🚨🚨BREAKING🚨🚨

Donald Trump’s team is frantically deleting his old tweets — especially the ones where he viciously attacked President Obama’s Iran policies — in a blatant attempt to rewrite history and hide his past hypocrisy.

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

It is blowing my mind how many people don’t seem able to grasp that oil & gas in the North Sea is not “ours” but was sold off to private companies who will trade it on the international market like any other fuel.

We don’t get any kind of privileged access to this fuel.

[Andrew Feinstein @andrewfeinstein]

Not even apartheid South Africa codified executions for only one ‘race group’. Israel is now the most racist state the world has ever known.

Shame on every government, every company, every individual who offer it support.

[Your Party @thisisyourparty]

Great to see @jeremycorbyn and @zarahsultana leading the #Together march against the far right, alongside @ZackPolanski & other left leaders!

Hundreds of thousands out on the streets against racism ✊️

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

The BBC is ignoring the biggest march against the far right in history.

Can we keep sharing to get it trending?

‼️ISRAEL LAND GRAB‼️

🚨BREAKING -- The Gaza Tribunal has published its final report.

It calls on Britain to end all military co-operation with Israel, impose economic sanctions, and investigate British citizens who participated in Israel's war crimes.

this right here is the reason China stays quiet on Iran

everyone losing their mind asking where is Beijing while the US & Israel are bombing a major chinese energy partner and the answer is so brutal in its simplicity that most analysts miss it completely, the empire is eating itself alive and China is already building the replacementt

America just dragged the entire Middle East into a war for Israel & now Saudi arabia, UAE, kuwait & qatar are sitting in a room discussing pulling out of US contracts & canceling investment commitments

the Gulf states, the literal foundation of the petrodollar, the system that has kept the US dollar as world reserve currency since 1974 actively discussing the exit and Beijing did absolutely nothing to make that happen…Washington did it to itself

but here's what people miss: china saw this coming years ago and already laid the tracks, literally the belt & road Initiative has quietly wired 150 countries into c’hinese infrastructure, ports, railways, highways, fiber optic cables, power grids…while the western media barely covered it

Saudi Arabia started selling oil to China in yuan in 2023, that alone should have been front page news for a month, the BRICS just expanded to include Saudi arabia UAE and Iran in the samea bloc, China built CIPS as a direct alternative to SWIFT so the entire non western world can settle trade without ever touching the dollar, every single one of these moves was made before a single bomb fell on Iran

and then there's Africa…the youngest continent on earth, median age 19, projected to reach 2.5 billion people by 2050, the largest workforce the planet has ever seen & China understood 20y ago that whoever builds Africa's infrastructure owns the 21st century, while the US was spending 4 trillion dollars destroying Iraq & Afghanistan China was building railways in Kenya, dams in Ethiopia, ports in Djibouti, highways in Nigeria, tech hubs in Rwanda, stadiums, hospitals, government buildings, telecom networks powered by Huawei across the entire continent.. & they did it without firing a single bullet, no regime change, no sanctions, no lectures on democracy, just concrete steel, fiber optic and longterm contracts

so when people ask why China stays silent on Iran the answer is that silence is the strategy, every war America fights for Israel costs trillions, destabilizes energy markets, alienates Gulf partners and pushes the entire Global South closer to a system Beijing spent two decades building

the gulf states pivoting right now has zero to do with ideology, Washington turned their entire neighborhood into a warzone to serve Tel Aviv's regional strategy & then asked them to keep buying treasury bonds with a straight face….the math just stopped working and when the math stops working loyalty stops too

beijing's silencee on Iran is the most patient & most devastating move on the board, China is watching america dismantle its own hegemony in real time while quietly inheriting every alliance washington burns, it just has to keep building & keep quiet

Napoleon said nver interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake, Xi turned that into a 50y doctrine & right now it's paying off faster than even beijing expected

Spain’s Ione Belarra:

“After Palestine, after Venezuela, after Cuba being threatened, now the US and Israel attack Iran.”

“We must stop them before they destroy the whole world.”

“It’s time to break relations with the terrorist United States and close American bases in Spain.”

Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain party is promising to sweep 'Anti-British", "anti-white" elements out of our universities and schools. Doing so, he is copying the Nazi playbook of 1933. If you're not worried now, you should be. https://t.co/cLV2qCDF36

Cuba speaking at the UN special committee:

"The U.S. is attempting to overcome our sovereignty. It is trying to impose through force, threats, and coercion its own neocolonialist capitalist interests. We will not cede to blackmail. We will continue to defend our independence.”
