I want to say something many will hate but it needs to be said. I have met Nigel Farage. I do not know him well but I know the world he moves in. We move in similar circles sometimes. The kind of private rooms and members clubs that most people in Britain will never see. I know how the rich speak about ordinary people. They laugh. They joke about how easy it is to wind you up. They know exactly which buttons to press. They know you are angry and tired and struggling and they know you want someone to blame. That is why they point at boats while they pick your pockets.

I did not grow up rich. I did not grow up in privilege. I understand struggle and the real world. But my life changed and now I see both sides. I sit with billionaires and politicians and decision makers and I hear conversations you never will. I know the truth. They do not care about you. They do not care about your future. They care about profit and control. They see ordinary people as tools or distractions. I am telling you this because I am tired of watching good people being manipulated.

Look at your life before Brexit and look at it now. Look at your shopping bills. Look at what food costs in Europe right now. Look at how much tax you pay on imports. Look at your wages and energy prices and mortgages. Look at the 10,000 NHS staff we lost when freedom of movement ended. Look at the ambulances that do not arrive. Look at nurses and teachers using food banks. Tell me honestly. Are you better off?

Nigel helped build the crisis you are living in. Then he pointed at immigrants and told you to blame them. That is the con. He pulled the UK out of the Dublin III agreement which means we cannot return asylum seekers to Europe anymore. He created the boat chaos then told you to panic about it. Someone who worked in immigration for more than ten years told me they saw it coming. It was planned. It is a strategy. And you are falling for it.

Now he wants austerity again. He wants to cut wages for young people. He wants to rip up workers rights. He wants private health insurance and a French style NHS where the rich get treated first and the poor get nothing. He wants you fighting each other so you never see who is robbing you. If you vote for him you are voting to destroy your own life. Not mine. Yours.

None of this affects me personally. I drink champagne with the people who control the money. I will be fine no matter what. Reform will not hurt me. Reform will hurt you. It will hurt your children. Your parents. Your future. I am telling you because I care. If I did not care I would stay silent and watch you suffer.

You think I am your enemy because I make you uncomfortable. I am not. Your enemy is the one who lies to you and blames the vulnerable while he empties your pockets.

Reform will not save you. Reform will finish you.

Think. Before they take everything.

By eroding trial by jury, the government is cementing its legacy as a bulldozer of our human rights.

This is the behaviour of authoritarian regimes!

The right to a jury trial is a fundamental tenet of democracy. We cannot let it be destroyed.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

There's not enough words to describe the contempt we should have for a Labour Government who thinks people like this should represent them - let alone cabinet ministers.

Where are the MPs with decency and basic humanity? Where are their red lines?

Beyond time to speak up.

People applauding the action of British Airways pulling sponsorship of Louis Theroux' podcast might pause a moment and consider that once we accept and applaud private companies (or corporations) controlling content in one bit of output, the principle can apply across the board.

Congratulations to Catherine Connolly, the next President of Ireland.

Catherine will be a voice for peace, social justice and a united Ireland.

This is a landslide victory for humanity and for hope!

[Rhianna Pratchett 🧙🏻‍♀️ @rhipratchett]

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Tony Blair’s catastrophic decision to invade Iraq cost thousands upon thousands of lives.

He shouldn’t be anywhere near the Middle East, let alone Gaza.

It is not up to Blair, Trump or Netanyahu to decide the future of Gaza. That is up to the people of Palestine.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

The truth: we need migration.

The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.

Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.

Reject it. Draw the line.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

I made a mistake - and apologised.

I've never armed a genocide though.

From the owner: "A huge thank you to Isaac Crystal Clean Windows York Limited. After this incident happened, he kindly came and cleaned our windows for free. When he heard about the hateful graffiti, he even helped us wash off the paint that was covering the word Chinese."

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Since 2012, the NHS has lost £10 million *every week* to private healthcare profits.

If the government really wanted to save money, it would stop wasting billions of pounds on private contracts.

End outsourcing. Reverse privatisation. Restore a publicly-owned NHS for all.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Wow.

In under 24 hours, 200,000 people have signed up to build a real alternative to poverty, inequality and war.

People are complaining that they don't understand my petition, and that I should dumb it down, so here goes.
Your country is being cut up into pieces and sold off to corporations.
If you don't sign this petition, you will lose everything.

Real change is coming.

Migrants are not your enemy.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

I've owned this one and taken responsibility.

Now where's the scrutiny on Israel's genocide?

Or Peter Mandleson?

Or the vast number of Labour MPs who are literally corporate lobbyists who only represent the super rich.

Let's get some scrutiny where it really matters.

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

There is much to be disgusted by with Starmer.

But the manner in which he uses his late mother & brother to deflect from taking £5 billion off the disabled is very hard listening.

Starmer’s Labour are Red Tories or worse.

Trade Unions- defund them now.
