@PrimeAgain1972 @aakashgupta the issue with the burger isn't the burger but the cheap ingredients often used, the additives and stabilisers, the sauce which is 99% fat, the hormone filled beef, the oil the patty is fried in... and so on

a burger with good quality ingredients is good

"#BSOUT Statement"

The ownership have ripped the soul out of West Ham United and left behind a hollow, marketable shell where a living, breathing working-class club once existed. This was a club built on sweat, loyalty, and community... not spreadsheets, branding exercises, and self-serving fantasies of “the next level.” The owners didn’t just move West Ham; they drained it. They sucked the blood out of a club that belonged to dockers, families, generations who passed claret and blue down like an inheritance, not an asset to be leveraged.

All we’ve seen since is self-profiteering wrapped in empty promises. A constant chasing of rainbows for Europe, global status, commercial relevance... while the foundations rot beneath our feet. They sold us dreams and delivered disconnection. They traded identity for optics, atmosphere for convenience, heritage for balance sheets. Every decision reeks of people who see West Ham not as a responsibility, but as a vehicle something to be sweated for personal gain while supporters are told to be grateful, patient, and quiet.

This club was never about chasing glory at any cost. It was about belonging, about defiance, about pride even in struggle. The owners don’t understand that and worse, they don’t care. In their hands, West Ham United has been bled dry emotionally, spiritually, culturally. What remains still fights because the supporters refuse to let it die. But make no mistake: the damage has been done, and the anger isn’t entitlement... it’s grief for a club that was taken away from the fans and given to customers.

It's time to lower people's bills.

It's time to tackle poverty.

It's time for a country where we don't just survive - but thrive.

Goes to show that Corbyn has been squeaky clean when it comes to his finances because I’m sure the media must have been digging for years lol

@SkyNews @serenabarksing Absolute bill. Report on the greens for a change. Or the new party that Sultans and Corbyn are working on. They have countless more young members

Angela Rayner pays the wrong rate of stamp duty & it’s a national issue. Johnson’s government squandered billions on sweetheart deals & test and trace contracts which didn’t work ! All of which went to his cronies & nothing happens. If you want to talk about two tier justice BBC?

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

An Observation on Angela Rayner and the Labour Government:

One cannot help but feel a measure of sympathy for Angela Rayner. I know her well enough to say that she came into politics for the best of reasons: a desire to serve, a determination to improve the lives of people whose struggles she understood from her own experience.

But the further up the ladder one climbs in politics, the more insistent the temptations become. This is not simply about individual weakness or personal failing. It is structural. Over the past 40 years, Britain has built a society in which consumption, status, and proximity to wealth have become defining features of the political class. The gravitational pull of money is now so great that even those who arrive in Westminster with the clearest sense of purpose find their heads turned.

Angela’s story is not unique. She came from humble beginnings, but the wealth that circles political life today is more concentrated, more brazen, and more intrusive than in the past. The old checks and balances, party rootedness in mass membership, trade union accountability, a press less entangled with oligarchic interests, have all weakened. Where once honour, public service, even a sense of historical duty could command respect, today those values are dimmed in comparison to the pursuit of material position.

The mechanism is subtle but relentless. It is not corruption in the brown-envelope-under-the-table sense. It is the slow, almost invisible turning of heads. You are introduced to those who walked this path before you, former ministers who now sit comfortably in boardrooms or on the payroll of consultancies with six and seven-figure salaries. You are invited to corporate boxes at sporting events, to private dinners, to concerts and premiers. Lavish clothes or spectacles can be “within the rules,” provided they are declared. But by then the damage has been done.

The message is implicit but unmistakable: play the game, listen to us, and you too can enjoy more of this. The logic creeps into your personal life. You stretch to buy the house that can host the right gatherings. You measure your worth by the standards of a world that equates success with possessions and proximity to privilege. And once you are on that path, it is hard to step off.

This is, of course, a simplification of a complex socio-economic and political process. But as someone who came from a council estate myself, I see it all around me in Westminster. And it is not going to be changed by media witch-hunts, the tutting of ethics advisers, or even the occasional burst of public outrage.

As Gladstone once warned, “Nothing that is morally wrong can be politically right.” But in our current system, what is morally questionable is too often normalised, excused, and rebranded as “just the way things are.”

Real change will only come from a collective decision to choose a different path: to stop outsourcing our state to private interests, to end the revolving door between government and corporate boardrooms, to challenge the idea that the role of politics is to serve vast concentrations of wealth.

We can choose differently. We can once again put community, solidarity, and public service at the heart of our political life. We can insist that worth is measured not in the size of one’s house or the company one keeps, but in the contribution one makes to society and the integrity with which one serves.

Until we do, until we decide as a polity to hold up those values rather than the glittering prizes of private gain, hese scandals will not just recur. They will define the very character of our politics.

For twenty four years, while you “worked” at the BBC, every single one of us who buys a TV licence paid your wages, whether we liked it or not.

You should sit this one out, you gigantic whining hypocrite.

“We paid for Angela Rayner’s education” this is what posh people think of you btw state-educated folks. Like they literally think less of you, no matter how long ago school was.

Zarah is picking a fight she can win. Dismantling the NHSs supply chain isn't something that'll happen over night but preventing a deal with Palantir could

Hunt avoids £100k of Stamp Duty

Sunak wife 'non dom' status

Zahawi underpays millions in tax and pays a fine

Mone PPE - no resolution over millions

Rayner - given wrong advice over £40k of Stamp Duty - loses everything

[Antonia Bance MP @antoniabance]

Thanks to Angela Rayner, zero hours contracts will be banned, no-one will be subject to fire at will, no-one will be able to be fired and rehired, and no-one will lose their private rented home just cos their landlord wants them out. That's quite some legacy. Thank you Angela.

What struck me in this photo is that there’s a street named after Count Bernadotte: he was a Swedish diplomat who saved 31,000 from Nazi concentration camps, became the UN’s first mediator in Palestine, backed the Palestinian right of return and then in 1948 was assassinated in Jerusalem by the Zionist Stern Gang.

[frog @humane_frog]

@LBC I think this anecdote was an appeal to being the voice of law and order. She wants to show she'd crack down on crime like "I did it when I was 15 for cheaters, I'll do it again as PM"
