Lesia Vasylenko, "A fair and just peace is the end of Russian aggression" "Pulling out all Russian troops and going back to Ukraine's 1991 borders" Fiona Bruce, "Do you think that's realistic?" Lesia Vasylenko, "It has to be realistic"

The leader of France’s far-right quit CPAC over Nazi ideology. Meanwhile, Farage happily embraces the Nazi at the same event. Says a lot about champagne fascist Farage. #ukpolitics

Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%. That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.

They should give Americans a choice on whether they want to invade Canada or be taken over by Canada and actually get Healthcare in the richest country in the world. I know who would win.

FACTS AND TRUTH MATTER

Good morning and happy Saturday from Helmsley North Yorks. Yesterday was grey but warm as we walked to Rievaulx Abbey and back but now it’s time to explore the town. Have a lovely day everyone.

Good people of Croydon South. Philp is a disgrace to you all. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Brilliant from @stuzipants.bsky.social. I'm reliably informed should the customer be so desirous, the motel will charge out its rooms by the hour.

There is no such thing as 'Private Finance' the billpayers or the taxpayers pay for everything. But you end up owning nothing.

People like Jenkyns should never be within 100 miles of elected office. Lucy is smarter than her - and he is an idiot. And he has principles: he loves his mum and Uncle J and the girls in his fanclub, he cares about Binks, he is a fan of being nice to everyone. Jenkyns has none.

Just in case no one knows the UK doesn't have a record number of people on benefits, in fact we have higher employment than France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Finland and many more. It's all just a lie for the billionaires to blame poor people for their mess.

It is time to end the special relationship with Trump. We stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦

My math is awful and even I can see the math just doesn’t add up!

Never forget According to the National Audit Office (NAO), as of June 2022 approximately £25.7 billion had actually been spent on the entire Test and Trace programme, with an estimated lifetime cost of £29.3 billion.

Increasing your Water Bills 44% ABOVE inflation in the next 5 years isn't enough for the Water Companies, they have appealed to Ofwat to let them increase them up to 83% ABOVE inflation. Like if they can get stuffed. RT if we should nationalise the lot.

Riddle me this why is it we can give £3bn to one failing Water Company to keep it going for another 6 months. But we need to take £3bn off Disabled People. Surely it should be the other way around?

Scrap austerity – tax the super-rich instead Britain can’t rebuild with more cuts – a wealth tax on the richest is the fair alternative to funding public services and growth yorkshirebylines.co.uk/business/eco...

Think solar farms are bad for nature? Think again. Those designed for nature in East Anglia are teeming with birdlife - including threatened species. A new study reveals why. ⤵️

This. Right. Here 👌👌👌

The U-turn president strikes again!!

Any normal country would put all of Thames Water's management in jail, repossess the lot, and not pay a penny.

After receiving £3bn today Thames Water is due to go bankrupt again in October, £2.1bn was instantly taken to pay their debts and they are losing nearly £150m a month. So in 6 months time we will be back here again.

How can Thames Water be £19bn in debt? Well it's simple, they are rewarded for being in debt. Paying out dividends is taxed, debts arent. So if you pay out all the money in debts to yourself, no tax. Plus you can keep begging to increase your bills. It's a massive con.
