I wonder how Gove's Spectator will cover this

Byline Times: Cabinet Office Misled the Public Over Michael Gove’s Involvement with VIP Lane’s Biggest Winner bylinetimes.com/2025/03/10/c...

In the UK people working on PAYE and earning £150,000 pay an average of 46% tax. But 25% of people on £2,000,000 or more, are paying 10% tax or LESS. Are you happy that they screw you over on your wages/bills, and then don't even pay their taxes?

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Ratbag more like. He doesn't pay UK taxes because he lives in Monaco. UK football teams should have to be owned by people who pay tax in the UK. Get these scumbags out who are stealing your money to their tax havens.

We get it. The Tories and Labour have utterly failed. Reform are not the answer - they will only make things even worse. You can help right now by joining @greenparty.org.uk. ⏳ Join.greenparty.org.uk

UN Resolution on the Day of Hope and Peaceful Coexistence. You really can’t make this up

you would discourage dishonesty from politicians by asking “who told you that?” when they lie, rather than stating that other people have said something else. I mean: “canada has been taken over by mexican cartels” a. “the canadian government says that’s not true” vs b. “who told you that?”

This is classic right wing gaslighting. They do horrendous things and then complain about people being “uncivil” to them for it. And it works, for their base. They think the left are “intolerant” and “extreme” because the dead babies are far away and the American babies are on TV.

Today we are having a fundraising day in the village to raise money for Alexander Armstrong. This popular & much loved millionaire TV presenter has gone from ‘Pointless’ to Poundless. See what I did there? This man truly is a modern day Zelensky. A sort of poor Michael Fabricant.😔

'I warn all trade unionists - if they don’t support the miners, when it comes to your turn there will be nobody left to defend you because the police paramilitary operation would have succeeded.' - Arthur Scargill The Miners' Strike began #OnThisDay in 1984.

What planet is Rachel Reeves living on ? Welfare cuts not only hit the poorest and most vulnerable but they damage the economy. The Tories proved austerity doesn’t work!

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Watching all the MAGA-loon 'citizen journalists' waving around these Epstein Files binders like some incredible Woodward & Bernstein-style exclusive reminds me of when you give a child a pretend steering wheel, and they sit in the back of the car thinking that they're driving everyone around.

Brexiters have national betrayal in their DNA. They hope Trump will bring our govt down, keep us away from the EU and trample all over us on trade. You might not agree with a fair bit that Starmer’s govt is doing but surely you still want what’s best for our country. And it sure as shit isn’t this…

Environment Secretary, Steve Reed, has just launched the biggest review of England’s water industry since it was privatised. BUT he’s prohibited the reviewers from even looking at public ownership of water. Sign the petition but better still write/email your MP weownit.org.uk/act-now/stev...

Ukraine is estimated to have 500,000 tons of lithium reserves Ukraine has no lithium mining of refineries for it! It takes 4- 10 years to develop these and the main lithium deposits are currently in land occupied by Russia!
