Anything Boris meddled with has been left broken. He & Farage have deliberately caused more damage to the UK that anyone else in history! Makes you wonder who they’re actually working for.

The Saudis just executed a blogger for promoting the idea that women should be able to drive (and other radical notions). No human rights for women in THAT Middle East country. No democracy, either. If you’re not fighting for women’s rights, you’re not supporting democracy either.

HS2 reports subcontractor over alleged fraud. Is there a pristine sector? Fraud/Corruption is endemic: In a rat race people are rewarded for hitting targets & self worth is determined by material outcomes, seeds of fraud and corruption are sown. How do we change our value systems?

Benefits reform must be pushed through, says UK PM. NO. Disability benefit cuts, two child benefit cap are cruel. Don't scapegoat the poor. How about cutting corporate welfare, profiteering? Decent pay reduces demand for benefits - 37% of universal credit claimants are in work.

We do not need new roads; we need better transport options. Think of what could be done with £9.2bn, which is to be spent on just 14 miles of road! It could transform bus services and/or cycling and pedestrian infrastructure across Britain. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Windrush scandal victims got less compensation due to lack of legal advice funding, review finds. Similar pattern at the Post Office, infected blood and other scandals. Poor can't buy legal advice, bludgeoned into accepting low compensation, leaving injustice behind. Govt must provide it.

A deal to solve the border problems Brexit created. So, Brexiters who couldn’t give a shit about those problems, howl about betrayal and surrender and our right wing media gives them the stage to do so instead of slapping them down and explaining it’s their mess. www.politico.eu/article/brex...

Private Eye exposing again the utter idiocy of our politics. This sums up exactly how Farage and Reform get rocket-boosted by a media, drunk on sensationalist nonsense. Unserious and irresponsible but it’ll be up to us to prove them wrong.

Enjoying a moment of respite/optimism/schadenfreude on seeing the millions of people across America protesting Trump #NoKings while he sits sulking at his boring little birthday parade. Hope is not lost. Well done America.

It is extraordinary, but grimly inevitable, that the people most responsible for hobbling the UK have become the loudest & whiniest critics of the consequences of their own actions. A big part of the process lies in people like ‘Lord’ Hannan actually being rewarded for their ignorant delinquency.

So the millionaire exodus was a complete work of fiction.... built on dodgy data from a company flogging golden passports to billionaires. Henley & Partners spun a PR stunt and the media ran with it. 10,000 headlines later, the truth emerges: less than 0.3% of UK millionaires left. buff.ly/W0MDULn

I see a lot of Conservative right wing Brexiters pointing out a number of factors behind British economic decline. Quite amazingly they omit the biggest factor, and the one they were responsible for. Brexit @anthonybarnett.bsky.social

Farage is a very dangerous self serving little man who’s inflicted more damage & suffering in the UK than anyone else, even Boris & Mogg. Yet the BBC & other MSM are choosing to promote & boost him. Who are they working for?
