The reason Farage is against a wealth tax on multi-millionaires is because he is a multi-millionaires

There’s no known (to me) catalog designation, but this is a cloud of molecular dust in Ursa Major. This image is the result of about 32 hours of integration time using ~800 sub-exposures. Taken with my Takahashi Epsilon in Southwest New Mexico. #astrophotography #photography

Mega councils would mean more centralisation of power and less say for local communities. That's the OPPOSITE of devolution. Back our letter to Angela Rayner. secure.unlockdemocracy.org.uk/page/172182/...

Can't help but feel like RCP's FHJ have allowed this AI company to bury the lede here in a corrigendum? "Oh by the way that article we wrote from >6months ago? Yeah we forgot to say we have competing financial interests..." www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #academicsky

If I think too much about Michael Gove, a politician who I actually despise going into the House of Lords today I might just burst a blood vessel. There is not a British politician who has done more damage to our nation than that dangerous, extreme, slimy piece of shit.

GOOD NEWS! Congratulations to Liberty on this fantastic win for protest rights. These regulations were a major part of the crackdown on peaceful protest in England and Wales, and it's great to see the Court of Appeal confirming they're unlawful. www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/libert...

Here's the BBC doing a good job. Excellent advice on eating the salvageable pieces left, on rotten fruit. Recipes for eating types of peel & much more. The supermarkets are kind enough to advise us on making an effort, not to waste. Helping us, by ending the use of sell-by dates on fresh products.

I just told Speaker Hoyle to keep Trump out of Parliament - will you do the same? actionstorm.org/petitions/du... #DumpTrump

Trump, Putin, Farage, and rogue EU member states are pushing to dismantle the EU, to usher in Sovereign corporations that will be run by unelected CEOs. Deregulated Zone Fever is the weapon of choice. Do you honestly think Starmer will do the right thing? yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/rig...

OMG, ALL of this!!! Must watch

This is *really* important: the reason electricity prices are high is the high cost of gas & that market rate is set by gas prices. One of the loudest calls at Everything Electric last week was to decouple from gas prices, so we benefit from cheaper renewables. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The reputation of the House of Lords is already in the gutter - more political allies and party donors being added only damages its reputation further. Add your name to our letter. secure.unlockdemocracy.org.uk/page/169621/...

Ben Houchen must quit as chair of Tees Valley MDCs to comply with new government guidance on avoiding conflicts of interest

Their Hand in Our Pockets Drax produces electricity by burning wood and trees. It made record profits of almost £1.1bn last year, received £869m subsidy, £602m in 2023. Shareholders, execs richer whilst millions can't pay bills. Corporate welfare is out of control. archive.ph/3bX9x

It's odd, that people expect anything less than the same tactics, Starmer used to gain the leadership of a party. It's odd, a man ennobled by title, who remained within that order despite his disingenuous protests. Had any interest in promoting positive social renewal. An establishment agent exposed

UK govts failing to curb corporate tax abuses. People forced to pay more for a crumbling infrastructure, and losing hard-won social rights. The Criminal Finances Act 2017 gave govt powers to prosecute companies for tax evasion. There have been no prosecutions. Need people centred govts.

UK financial regulator drops plan to ‘name and shame’ companies under investigation. Crazy deregulation - Banks, insurance companies can fleece customers, steal, defraud but won't be named for years, people won't be warned. A licence to harm. No one protects the people. archive.ph/nRyQu

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

We have been researching the financial links between MPs and the private healthcare sector🚨 Can anyone answer this? Why are lobbyists with private healthcare clients donating to MPs? Why are companies that already provide services for the NHS donating to MPs? Well...we are building a map, to...
