Never forgive the asset stripping, human rights removing, food bank politicos, tax dodging aficionados, austerity implementing, refugee blaming, NHS dismantling, greedy profiteering, sewage loving, #Brexit flag shagging, corrupting @CONservatives#RejoinEU#ExitBrexit 🇪🇺
Palantir threatening MPs. Musk threatening his critics.
When private wealth becomes more powerful than democracy, who the fuck is actually in charge?

Exclusive: The US spytech firm sent letters to British MPs who made critical comments or asked difficult questions in parliament. @harriepw reports. https://t.co/h8TvbTXYxc
Yet more classic narcissistic deflection and manipulation. Ask him a perfectly valid question he doesn’t want to answer and you become the topic. Expect to be insulted and demeaned. Especially if you happen to be a woman. An utterly vile cunt.
Farage offered in July to pay for the Clacton by-election. An unnamed government source told City AM it was a "hard no", because donation rules don't allow money tied to a specific purpose.
Now Reform has announced a £250,000 Clacton Community Fund instead. Applications go through the Reform UK website and a local committee decides who gets the money.
Worth knowing: on 7 July Farage named no figure. LBC put the likely cost at more than £200,000 and the £250,000 number came from Rupert Lowe. I can't find a published final cost of the by-election, or any record of Reform paying any of it.
Giving to local charities isn't a scandal. But the questions are simple. Who holds the money? Who sits on the committee? Will recipients and amounts be published? The article doesn't name the committee.
His letter also says he was re-elected with "even more votes". True by about 1,000, 22,239 against 21,225, on a 44% turnout with the major parties standing aside.
Looks like another FOI for Tendring District Council.
Going without essentials takes a toll on every part of life.
Among people who had to cut back on food to afford other essentials like rent and bills:
💭 81% said financial pressures harmed their mental health
💊 61% said their physical health was affected
💜 56% said their relationships were affected
Ahead of the Budget, urgent action is needed to make essentials affordable.
The first step should be bringing local housing allowance in line with what rent actually costs.

Following the Covid Inquiry's damning verdict on @MattHancock, we've launched a petition to remove him from the Privy Council.
His actions led to thousands of avoidable deaths.
This is a first symbolic step towards accountability.

Tommy Robinson is using private investigators to hunt down journalists who are critical of him, using the same excuses as Farage to justify the ends.
This is where Musk's cash is going.
This is fascism. Trying to shut down scrutiny of their actions.

END Bar and Restaurant subsidies in the @HouseofCommons@UKHouseofLords NOW! - It's disgusting that hard working families who can't afford a basic standard of living, not to mention a trip to the pub or a local restaurant, have to subsidise this. We can't afford such decadence.
