🇬🇧 More than 200 sanctioned Russian tankers have sailed through UK waters since Starmer announced new powers to seize “shadow fleet” ships, - The i Paper

The PM said he was going after the fleet of vessels sailing under false flags to evade sanctions, arguing that Putin “should be in no doubt” that Britain would fight against the illicit network.

Since his announcement, at least 205 sanctioned tankers have sailed through the UK’s 200-mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ). Of those, 84 entered Britain’s territorial waters.

🇬🇧🇮🇪 Britain is sounding the alarm about an EU country that has become a"backdoor" for Russian spies

We're talking about Ireland. Dublin has issued 14,000 visas to Russian citizens - with a 90% approval rate since the start of the large-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Ireland is a member of the Common Travel Area along with Great Britain, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man. This means that anyone who enters Ireland effectively gains access to Britain - without additional checks.

Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.

There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.

Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.

"Gary hates the poor because he disagrees with Jeff Bezos, who famously cares about the poor above anything else especially his own net worth"

What a laughably stupid comment.

[Moving Home with Charlie @moving_charlie]

Watching Gary try to discredit @JeffBezos’s suggestion that workers should pay less tax is beautiful.

He actually says “workers paying less taxes isn’t a substitute for taxing billionaires more.” revealing what we all knew: he cares more about hurting the rich than helping the poor.

Simple maths proves him wrong.

Bezos’s suggestion would immediately make working people about 20% better off, overnight.

Taxing billionaires wouldn’t make any difference to working people whatsoever.

He’s contorted himself with his hatred of the rich and destroyed his own credibility.

The sooner he stops this prosperity destroying nonsense, the better for the people he purports to help.

Billionaires don’t have bank accounts like you and me. They have art collections, Yachts,Mansions,Stocks. None of it gets taxed until they sell it. So they just never sell it. They borrow against it instead. Live off the loans. Pay almost nothing. Then when they die, their kids inherit it all tax-free. The wealth never gets taxed, It just gets passed down. And we wonder why the gap keeps getting wider.

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

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

Kyiv Syndrome is real. Anyone who goes comes back transformed. This is Vance’s bestie saying this. It’s why Dim Philby and Kushner don’t go—Ushakov and Putin must realize that if they do, the influence op falls apart.

NHS FILED 200 COMPLAINTS AGAINST A DOCTOR. EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS LIES.

Dr Raj Mattu was a cardiologist at Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry. In 2001 he spotted something management had apparently missed: squeezing five patients into cardiac bays built for four was killing people.

A 35-year-old died because staff could not physically reach him through the overcrowding. Dr Mattu told @BBC (@nhsuhcw). He filed reports. He raised alarms.

The NHS response was textbook. They suspended him. Then they filed 200 complaints against him to the General Medical Council. Not a typo. Two hundred. Over eleven years. Every single one was rejected.

A tribunal later heard that a senior manager had said : don't worry about a parking ticket, we want to get him off the road completely. The suspension followed within weeks of that conversation.

Dr Mattu was sacked in 2010. He spent over a decade unable to practise cardiology while the trust spent an estimated £14 million of public money fighting to keep him out. His health deteriorated. He underwent major lung surgery. His colleagues described him as being hounded mercilessly.

In 2016 an employment tribunal ruled he had been unfairly dismissed. He was awarded £2.5 million in compensation including tax contributions. The tribunal found the dismissal was inextricably linked to his 2001 whistleblowing. It confirmed he was blameless.

The CEO who oversaw the whole campaign, David Loughton, was later awarded a CBE.

The doctor who tried to save them got destroyed.

The managers who destroyed him got decorated.

@BongoThePongo @Keir_Starmer Ban spending on political advertising full stop while we're at it. Works elsewhere.

[Tom Nicholas | Watch SLOW NEWS DAY on Nebula! @Tom_Nicholas]

On a purely analytical level, there is no criticism of Keir Starmer to which the answer is Wes Streeting.

Is he more charismatic? No.

Is he more forthright in his convictions? No.

Can he connect with voters better? He's never had a real job!

[Alicia Kearns MP @aliciakearns]

Nigel Farage missing from the King’s Speech debate today…

Running scared from Parliament because he’s been referred to standards for breaking the rules…

Once again, he shows he’s not a serious leader.

[Peter Jukes @peterjukes]

Everyone is rightly interested in Harborne’s monetary support for Nigel Farage. But GB News provides him with an annualised salary of over a million pounds a year, 500,000 shares and unaccounted for millions in terms of free political advertising for Farage’s Party

[Kate Wilton @KateWilton1]

Yet the media aren’t hounding him to resign. Why is that?

[Tony Kerridge @KerridgeTony]

How media covers left and right wing news:

Polanski's failure to pay council tax on a houseboat was 2nd item on BBC lunchtime news, after Starmer

These allegations from insider Ben Habib alleging serious criminal election fraud by Farage, Boris Johnson & Harbonne - not a whiff.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

BBC News at 6 cover Nigel Farage's £5,000,000 gift from a foreign based crypto billionaire

They don't mention the latest revelations from Ben Habib alleging that Farage and Johnson both previously received £1,000,000 from the foreign based billionaire

Nor mention what Ben Habib said, "The 2019 General Election was sewn up between Nigel Farage, Christopher Harborne and Boris Johnson, and it was a monetary deal, that's how I see it"
