Sainsbury's boss eyes bumper £7.3m payday as shoppers reel from higher food prices.

Up from £5.4m last year – 200 times average employee pay.

Govts preach pay restraint to workers, silence on exec pay, shareholder returns.

Let workers vote on exec pay.

Lawyer Peter Stefanovic - whose political films have been watched over a billion times - breaks down Reform's Great Repeal Act line by line: strip day one sick pay, legalise fire and rehire, lift zero-hours protections, repeal the Renters' Rights Act, abolish the Equality Act, and leave the ECHR.

He also notes that almost half of Britons believe net migration has increased when it's fallen 48% to 171,000.

His conclusion: if the media explained Reform's policies, nobody would support them.

The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review.

They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆.

Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.

.@Katie_Lam_MP said on BBC Radio 4 that welfare payments now exceed income tax receipts for the “first time ever”.

That’s not true. Welfare has been higher than income tax for more than a decade.

Isabel Oakeshott on Nigel Farage buying a £1.4m house: “I honestly don’t see why it’s anyone’s business. Why should people know how he paid?”

Isabel Oakeshott on Angela Rayner buying a 2nd home: “I smell a massive rat. How on earth has she raised the money to buy a £800k flat?”

The real two-tier scandal in the UK is the relentless double standard approach of a media which lets one party leader get away with financial dodgery that would drive them into a frenzy if it involved someone their billionaire owners didn’t want in power because they believed in things like fairness and equality

'He got dragged out by his own PR man because things were going so well!'

James O'Brien sets the record straight with listener David, who thinks he's too scared to interview Nigel Farage.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Nigel Farage and Reform UK want to

- leave the European Convention on Human Rights which protects our right to protest, our right to privacy, our right to fair trials and so much more

- repeal the Equality Act - a key piece of legislation that prevents against discrimination in Britain

- Strip back workers rights

- Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts and Legalize "fire and rehire" tactics

- repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes “no fault evictions” that allow landlords to remove tenants without giving a reason and introduces new duties over health hazards

and to sell all this to the country Farage offers nothing in return but grievance and division. PLEASE DON’T FALL FOR IT.

That anyone could be supporting Farage and Reform with these policies must surely be a damning indictment of UK media in failing to explain all this to the public

[Count Binface @CountBinface]

I think they blackballed me because of this.

Nigel Farage has NOT been arrested for willingly and deliberately inciting riots in Southampton.

Please RT this until he is.

Thank you.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Ofcom claims there is no consensus to ban Nigel Farage from Presenting on GB News.

Lets show them one.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

“His response has been to appeal for rage. That’s his response to a father who has lost his son and asked for that not to happen. Exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division would be wrong in any circumstances but to do it when the family are expressly saying please don’t is unforgivable. It shows exactly who he is”

[Andrew Western MP @AndrewHWestern]

Not a parliamentarian.

Not a member of the Shadow Cabinet.

And certainly not the Shadow Home Secretary.

Also missed “Ltd” off the end of Reform UK.

This is just not true, @ZiaYusufUK

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Economist Mariana Mazzucato says Brexit led to businesses leaving the UK, shrank market opportunities and damaged investment.

She tells The Fourcast that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have still not been held accountable for what she calls one of the country's biggest economic mistakes.

Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have both denied lying to the public.

Mate, this is embarrassing.

You are literally not the shadow Home Secretary.

You’re not even an elected politician.

Two economists just published a mathematical proof that AI will destroy the economy.

Not might. Not could. Will — if nothing changes.

The paper is called "The AI Layoff Trap." Published March 2, 2026. Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Boston University. Peer reviewed. Mathematically modeled.
The conclusion is one sentence.
"At the limit, firms automate their way to boundless productivity and zero demand."

An economy that produces everything. And sells it to nobody.
Here is how you get there.
A company fires 500 workers and replaces them with AI. A competitor fires 700 to keep up. Another fires 1,000. Every company is behaving rationally. Every company is following the incentives correctly. And every company is building a trap for itself.

Because the workers who were fired were also customers.
When they lose their jobs faster than the economy can absorb them, they stop spending. Consumer demand falls. Companies respond by cutting costs — which means automating more workers — which means less spending — which means more falling demand — which means more automation.

The loop has no natural exit.
The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income. Capital income taxes. Worker equity participation. Upskilling programs. Corporate coordination agreements.
Every single one failed in the model.
The only intervention that worked: a Pigouvian automation tax — a per-task levy charged every time a company replaces a human with AI, forcing them to price in the demand they are destroying before they pull the trigger.

No government has implemented this. No major economy is seriously discussing it.
Meanwhile the numbers are already tracking the curve. 100,000 tech workers laid off in 2025. 92,000 more in the first months of 2026. Jack Dorsey fired half of Block's workforce and said publicly: "Within the next year, the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion."
Nobody is doing anything wrong. Companies are following their incentives perfectly. That is exactly the problem.

Rational behavior. At scale. Simultaneously. With no mechanism to stop it.
Two economists built the math. The math leads to one place.

Fortunately, Britain has a Bermuda-registered mass circulation newspaper owned by a French-domiciled billionaire, a television station owned by a Dubai hedge fund and a political party backed by a Thailand-based crypto tycoon to remind us of the importance of patriotism

No axe to grind and clarity of point. We didn’t vote to be worse off financially, educationally, scientifically, holidayingly ( I know there is no such word😂) and health wise.

[Labour Press @labourpress]

Reports of hostile state activity are incredibly serious.

Nigel Farage and Reform have failed to confirm whether they've reported the suspicions they raised that Farage's phone was hacked by Russia to either the @NCSC or @metpoliceuk.

National security must always come first - today @annaturley has reported this for thorough independent investigation by the proper authorities.
