World’s largest banks pledged $906bn to fossil fuel companies.
More coal, oil and gas production for years as planet overheats.
Your savings used to fund food, water, seas, climate crisis.
People have no say as execs, shareholders enrich themselves.

"If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it." - Roald Dahl
Anyone got anything slightly positive about Relay Courier service. They are the worst Courier service I have ever had to deal with
Why are online companies pushing them on us?
Brexit ‘sabotage’ has cost Britain up to £30bn every year.
Brexit was secured by lies. None of the promised economic benefits delivered. Gave us higher business costs.
Farage still peddling the same lies.
UK's future is with Europe. Must rejoin the EU.

RELAY Courier service are an absolute joke. Sent my parcel to a collection shop that didn't even use Relay as a courier service , contacted them 7 times with no reply apparently my parcel is now on the other side of the country 😀
That anyone would support Nigel Farage and Reform with these policies must surely be a damning indictment of UK media in failing to explain the implications of them to the public
Nigel Farage wants you to forget about the £5m.
Nigel Farage wants you to forget about his support for the Iran War.
Nigel Farage wants you to forget about Nathan Gill.
Nigel Farage wants you to forget his support for Trump, Orban, Le Pen and Milei.
Nigel Farage wants you to forget about his antisemitism.
Nigel Farage wants you to forget about DOGE failing.
Nigel Farage wants you to forget about the Clacton house.
Nigel Farage wants you to forget about the councillors dropping like flies.
Nigel Farage wants you to forget about the council leaders sacked for racism and ineptitude.
Nigel Farage wants you to forget about the racist candidates, the misogynists, anti-Muslims, the hypocritical and criminal Reform UK candidates.
Tell everyone, don’t let anyone forget.
Run that by me again:
So a tax exile living in Thailand paid Farage £5 million for BREXIT.
Bit f'cking cheap...
We've paid 100s of ££££Billions!!!! Lost our freedom of movement, divided communities, endured endless political roller coasters, economical turmoil, higher taxes..
Wealth of 157 UK billionaires now equals £670bn, 22% of GDP.
Return on wealth (dividends and capital gains) is taxed at lower rates than wages.
Extreme concentration of wealth facilitates political power, corruption, economic control.
Wither democracy.

🔴 @AndyBurnhamGM on BBC today:
“I think Britain has been on the wrong path for 40 years.”
👍 It started with de-industrialisation, bus deregulation, and the privatisation of life’s essentials.
👏 We need to… get the basics back under public control so that people can afford their rent, their energy bills, etc.
🙌 He wants Labour to “change and once again [be] the party that people in this borough knew… I don’t blame anybody who has gone away and voted for other parties. I want them to regain their trust… I want Labour solidly to become a working class community.”
Why is renationalising water not even being discussed by the present government? Even though nobody's sure who the government is.

“ICE’s use of Palantir systems now means agency officials effectively have a list of 20 million people readily accessible on their iPhones”
Make sure this doesn't happen in the UK. Stop Palantir: https://t.co/PsCDnjsTBl

Nigel Farage will NEVER be prime minister of the UK. 100%.
The Reform Party ltd, they will enjoy the same success of UKIP and the BREXIT party- they are one and the same.
Doomed to failure when people really see them for what they really are!
Good to see govt doing a review of access to face-to-face banking. While it won't be a big deal for many on here, for many elderly and vulnerable people in person banking is crucial and we need to protect it.... https://t.co/6VRJjYvfXP.
Afterall we collectively bailed the banks out during the financial crash, and that 'too big to fail insurance means in my view there is a social contract that they need to support these things.
Farage faces standards probe into £5m gift from Thailand-based crypto billionaire.
Rules require MPs to disclose registrable benefits received in the 12 months before their election.
Farage previously failed to register £384,000 in interests on time.

To anyone considering a leadership challenge I say - put the country first, not your own interests or those you might claim are the interests of the party.
Keir Starmer has a massive democratic mandate from the public, nobody has the right to seek to depose him, nobody.
Not Wes, not Ed, not Andy, not Angie.
Yes Keir is unpopular in the polls, that’s current public sentiment - it’s not a mandate for getting rid of him. Opinion polls are snapshots of opinions. Local election results are always an opportunity to register a protest. Labour has a job to do, we’re not even two years in yet, things are tough - a leadership challenge would be self indulgent and illogical - in my view.
It doesn’t take much get the two to want to play together, of course. They still have warm memories of those guitar lessons -- or what @SteveVai calls “glorified jam sessions” -- when they were youths.
“I’d go over to Joe’s house for hours,” Vai remembered, “and we’d sit in his back yard with two electric guitars, no amplifiers, and we’d sit back-to-back and just play. That was an incredible training. When you do something like that, you develop a listening atmosphere, so to speak. For me that’s one of the highlights of being a musician, sharing that space with somebody else.”
Five decades on, of course, the relationship is no longer teacher-pupil, but rather peers whose shared virtuosity has made both men heroes in the guitar community.
“I’m glad we waited for (SatchVai) in a way,” Satriani said. “Now we’re remarkably older, and we’ve had this benefit of a crazy roller coaster of success. So there was such a relaxed attitude towards, ‘What are we gonna write?’ and ‘What kind of album are we gonna do?’ We simply never talked about it; we started sending each other [ideas] we thought might be cool.”
