Reform with 5 MP's gets more TV and Newspaper coverage than the Greens, SNP, Independents and Lib Dems combined. This is because Reform is owned by the billionaires who own the Media.

Look, socialists largely deserted Labour after Starmer incinerated his promises and told us to find a ditch and die in it. But if you’re a liberal still backing Keir Starmer after he incinerated the foreign aid budget, how have you not died from terminal embarrassment

Its apparently National Love your Pet Day- Simba arrived in our garden about 10 yrs ago, all beaten up and thin, he never left, now the vet says he’s overweight! Trouble is there’s a little feral in him at night, then in the day he lies around like a Lord- quite a good life really, what’s yr story?

Quick note - opposing politicians taking huge donations from those associated with the private sector and then funnelling massive sums of public money into private healthcare companies is not a ‘far left’ standpoint. But it’s being framed like that by billionaires and media outlets 🚨

It looks like this government is about to start NHS PFI schemes again (or some version with a different name). Despite the fact that in England, the schemes involved about £13 billion in private investment, and by the time they’re paid off in 2050 will have cost us ~£80 billion 🚨 I’m writing about…

A 10-year-old has a better plan for stopping plastic pollution than most politicians. Amaya Edwards discovered an Australian scheme that’s keeping rivers and oceans clean. So why hasn’t the UK adopted it? she wants to know. @eastangliabylines.co.uk
