An absolute masterclass in how the UK media platforms and normalises far right politics. This is how Farage wins.

Astronomical Costs for Taxpayers as the Tories and now Labour leech public money to subsidise companies in 86 deregulated Free zones. Now let’s talk money—your money. By 2024, the government has spent £19.78 billion on 12 deregulated Freeports and SEZs. Thread

Let me say that again: our government is about to criminalize one of the most powerful nonviolent tools ordinary people have ever had — the right to boycott. Why do we boycott? Because it works. Because when politicians refuse to act, people must.

A good thing Labour could do now is bring in a new fairer voting system Labour members back it, all main parties (except Tories) too Neither Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland have FPTP We would see coalition govs, more representation - far more desirable than a psycho demigod with too much power

Pure, nonsensical cruelty from the DWP. For 6 years, without telling her, they let this mother unknowingly earn 83p-£1.92p per week too much as a dinner lady while juggling caring for her son with severe autism. Then they slammed her with a bill for £10k. Vile. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The new Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough won 28% of the vote, on 33% turnout. There was no option to pick a second preference. Like in the West of England, the winning candidate was elected by less than 10% of the electorate. This is not sustainable. FPTP must go.

Labour is handing this country on a silver platter to Reform. People do not vote Labour because they hate immigrants and want Reform-lite. They vote Labour because they want it to make a positive difference to their lives.

Sir Keir Starmer is an astonishingly bad politician. He's bankrupted the richest party in Europe; expelled the core voters of the biggest party in Europe; alienated the largest campaigning force in Europe and ripped up the policies and identity that differentiated the party from its rivals.

The UK's National Insurance Fund Account has a surplus of £86.4bn. It supposedly funds pensions and benefits. But benefits cut, two-child benefit cap, winter fuel payment cut, the 1950s women denied pension rights. Raided for Tory NIC cuts to the rich, NIC holidays in freeports.

Scotland has tens of BILLIONS, of $81+ bottles, of Scotch Whisky. Maturing, in tens of MILLIONS of Oak Casks, mostly, in absolutely MASSIVE Warehouses, all over Scotland. From Dumfries, to Shetland. We have (at least) TWICE as many Casks, as the Scotch Whisky Association says! Wake up, Scotland.

I have my own criticism but the one thing Labour’s getting right is the NHS, waiting lists down, more appointments, better pay, no strikes. Farage would sell the NHS. He’s not a man of the people, he’s a privately educated city boy who laughed as the economy tanked after Brexit. He is a traitor.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

Did you know that since Scotland was promised 'more powers' if we voted No to independence in 2014, Westminster has actually stripped more than two dozen key powers from Holyrood and overruled devolved decisions made by the Scottish Government 13 times.

🥀 By blocking devolution of migration while imposing a hard Brexit, Labour has broken a promise to voters & is damaging our economy & public services. 🚫 They've stopped the SNP Bill from even being considered despite telling voters they were open to a Scottish visa graemedey.info/labour-mps-b...

Westminster has just voted to block Scotland from having control over migration policy. The Scottish Parliament has been calling for a migration policy which meets Scotland’s needs - but Westminster said no.
