Predictions of £40bn hit to public finances from Brexit ‘correct’ Office for Budget Responsibility’s forecast of a 4 per cent productivity loss from leaving the EU has been largely borne out, says top economist. Incredibly the Charlatan responsible for Brexit is now lining up to be the next PM!

The U.K. today… - Honours, crony contracts for party donors. - Bribes secure the laws you want. - Dirty money, no problem. - Rule of law, tell that to Grenfell fire victims. Corporations & the rich control our media and government policy! It’s time for a “change”!

“Farage backers chasing Maga donors & a Jenrick pact” The scale of its ambition & detail, has echoes of Project 2025, a 900-page policy wish list for Trump's second term drawn up by the right-wing Heritage Foundation If this doesn’t worry you shitless you’re not paying attention!

Hope fucking Trump and his cabal of sycophantic muppets along with the incompetent Congress are happy now! “Trump has tipped the world into a war situation, and the economic consequences could be very severe indeed. Expect inflation, recession and a stock market crash.”

How refreshing would this be, Local Authorities employing their own builders to construct council houses! So no obscene profits and greedy CEOs’s, perhaps we should do the same with Water and energy?

Seems to me that the so called core principal of BBC News ie “Impartiality” is bollocks! Its coverage reflects biases shaped by editorial decisions, institutional culture, selective framing & omission of perspectives. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

This toxic approach to politics perfectly encapsulates the game plan being used by right-wing leaders, negative campaigning. The idea is to avoid talking about your own policies, not to sell yourself, but rather to destroy your opponent. It’s easier to demotivate than to motivate!

When you read this the behaviour of our media is obvious. It’s called the Finkelstein formula or "rejectionist voting." The idea was to avoid talking about your own positions & policies, the better to demonize your opponent The objective was not to sell yourself but rather to destroy your opponent

As Nationwide send me a letter to tell me my interest rate is going down, it draws up bonus plan that could give CEO £7m payday! It’s not just the water industry, seems “fat cats” & greed are endemic. In other news:- I’ll be closing all my Nationwide accounts! www.theguardian.com/business/202...

This is beyond comprehension, Starmer could support a lying, cheating felon to strike Iran from the air. Does he not understand, the US President couldn’t be trusted to run a bath let alone be a wartime ally! In other News…remember Iraq!
