“Netanyahu warns Lebanon faces ‘destruction’.” Why are our Western governments letting this Zionist slaughter continue? #Israel #Palestine #Lebanon

2024-10-07 10:18:12

“Scottish NHS boards pay up to £837 an hour for locums amid psychiatry crisis.” Is this an example of shrinkflation?

2024-09-27 08:06:13

“Keir Starmer has said the row over him borrowing Labour donor Waheed Alli’s luxury flat for filming was “farcical” and that the public would come to their own judgments about his reasons for taking support from the peer.” We will. He and his bribe taking colleagues are free loading scumbags. #Labour

“Mortgages at six times' income for first-time buyers.” What kind of a world have we left our young? #Housing

“The device bombs were in our living rooms, in our pockets, in our faces.” The world is never going to be the same again. #Israel #Mossad #CIA #KGB #MI6

2024-09-19 17:17:29

“Keir Starmer has strongly defended his decision to accept corporate hospitality at Arsenal – while ducking questions about why he allowed a donor to pay for his glasses.” Corruption has no shame! #Labour #Starmer

Indeed. He proved what a lazy clown he was. It hadn’t stopped him leading the Tories and it might not stop Farage.

2024-09-19 07:23:07

“Labour will lean into hope at first conference in power for 15 years.” Starmer and his wife are going to need lots of new clothes and spectacles to look their best in Liverpool.

As Johnson proved you don’t need to be a hard worker to lead the Tories.

Doesn’t the UK already have Nigel Farage? Make him leader of the Tories and he might be unstoppable.

It seems they have gone well beyond rules or morality. Israel is a terrorist state and needs to be treated as such. #Israel #Palestine #Lebanon

There can be little doubt that if there was no private healthcare or private schools state provision would improve.

“Keir Starmer suggests he will continue accepting donors’ gifts. PM rejects claims he breached rules as he defends system of MPs declaring donations.” So the bribery and corruption continues. #Labour

“Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said he is “interested” in learning about Italy’s scheme to send migrants rescued at sea to Albania to process their asylum claims, ahead of his first official visit to Rome.” Albania to be the new Rwanda? #Labour

“David Lammy: PMs and partners rely on donors to help them ‘look their best’.” However you spin it taking bribes is not a good look! #Labour

Corbyn got more votes than Starmer. Twice. #Labour

“A new book charting the party’s path to power reveals that Keir Starmer and his team were told the landslide election win was down to a fragile coalition of voters. ‘Corbyn had flown to close to the sun’: how Labour insiders battled the left.” Twice Corbyn got more total votes than Starmer. Labour needs to abandon battling the left and develop a radical left wing range of policies. Starmer only won because of Reform not because of a Labour voter desire for right wing policies. #Labour

It would be much better for the vast majority of us if there were no private hospitals and no private schools.

With all the fuss in the US about Russian interference when is the UK Russia Report going to be made public. The strategic benefit to Russia of Brexit is clear. It is difficult to believe they didn’t help it along! #Russia #Brexit

“The government will not reverse its decision to scrap winter fuel payments, the leader of the House of Commons has said.” Similarly it will make no attempt to tax the wealth of the super rich. Starmer will not want to give up all the hospitality he receives. #Labour

Perhaps time to rebuild Hadrians Wall to keep the hungry English out. (Or perhaps a wee bit too Trumpian)?

Isn’t it often the case that the controllers of the business walk away with the money and leave the debts behind?

“Caterer that paid up over mice in school kitchen returns to profit. ABM, owned by the billionaire Coates family, was also named and shamed for not paying staff the minimum wage.” Billionaires making fortune from substandard children’s food and exploiting workers. Who’d have thought it. #Capitalism

2024-08-16 06:13:24

“Arts and crafts give greater life satisfaction than work, survey suggests. Researchers say such activities could be important tool in improving public health.” Less work more play makes for a very happy day. #UniversalBasicIncome

Not sure the politics of the 1930s brings much hope. The 2nd world war killed about 80mil people. Apparently about 3% of the then world population. True in the UK Mosley was defeated but then, like now, fascism was sadly world wide.

If the past you are referring to is the 1930s you, like me, will be very very scared.

The fascist rioters do have legitimate concerns. They are impoverished by Tory austerity, they are ill educated through cuts to education, their health particularly mental health needs are not being met again through cuts, they have been cruelly misled by a rabid right media and the political right including Tories, Reform, EDL, Reclaim and Labour have woefully misled them. #riots
