your taxes are late

I believe as a feminist investigative journalist, it's vital to promote and support women's work, so I finally got around to making this starter pack. go.bsky.app/RaopwNN

Billionaires’ wealth grew by £1.6 trillion last year, Oxfam says. www.independent.co.uk/news/billion...

Why is our taxpayer's money going to the Royals in so many ways? Empty Dartmoor prison pays Prince William’s Duchy £1.5m a year & has another 24 years left on its lease Charities which the Royals are patrons of also pay millions to them in rent Make it make sense www.thetimes.com/article/ddf3...

Isabel Oakeshott (went to same school as King Charles) has moved to tax haven Dubai, such is her love of UK. Give me strength Boyfriend Tice's family built skyscrapers there Reform UK Ltd aka RICH KIDS fooling those who have nothing...but filling them with hatred of others who have nothing either

Fed up with Meta? Avoiding Instagram or Facebook isn’t enough to stop Meta from harvesting and profiting from your private information. Here’s how to limit Meta’s ability to monetize your personal data.

you have to ask - again - whether they understand that 10,000 is a barely significant rounding error in a country with 3 million millionaires

The French Human Rights League is asking the public to join them in a mass exodus of X on January 20 www.euronews.com/next/2025/01...

Always fun when men discover an issue that feminist women have been talking about for years - and been mocked & reviled for - and act as if they are the first to talk about it!!

There's an entire industry of utterly made-up bullshit being pursued at the other place. Thousands of monetised retweets for a claim that Labour is banning people debating veganism in pubs.

Oh my god

Former Tory Brexit Secretary joins insane call for UK to leave ECHR. My latest film explains why joining Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR will do nothing to stop small boats & it will undermine all our rights Please watch & share youtu.be/RlxcYDYFGJ0?...

Kemi Badenoch defends the right to speak freely and air a different point of view, by insisting those who disagree must stop.

Here are some nice mushrooms

11 teens have been arrested for beating two men they had lured using a gay dating app. Activists and police warn the attacks are part of a larger social media trend where straight teens and adults target and lure gay men for assault. www.advocate.com/crime/illino...

Inside Britain’s “best prison”where inmates grow their own vegetables, run the cafe, cook for their children and have budgies - @mattdathan.bsky.social reports from HMP Oakwood as part of @thetimes.com Crime and Justice Commission www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Thank you for the likes and reposts for all my pictures. If your sky is clear this evening Venus and the Moon are worth a look. 🔭 🧪 🎨 #astrophotography #SciArt #photography #StormHour #ThePhotoHour

really quite apoplectic about all the mainstream Tory figures in Britain who backed Musk essentially as a way to own the libs and who will now suffer no consequences from staying silent as their ally behaves like a fascist, and a direct danger to senior female politicians

Of course this will come as no surprise to anyone but..

It seems everyday there is a fresh reminder why it was I left Elon Musk’s X for good. Musk has a cheek to talk about the ‘security’ of the UK when he is clearly hell bent on wrecking it. Musk’s influence on UK politics will make everyone worse off, apart from him. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

ALBERT CAMUS - who left us 65yrs ago today.

Elon Musk, owner of X, tweeted that Home Office Minister Jess Phillips "deserves to be in prison" and labelled her a "rape genocide apologist" This is the type of radicalised content that socialises people towards violence against Ministers and MPs www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/starmer...

At some point someone in the British government has to hit back at Musk. If he was just some rich guy, fine - whatever. Enjoy your drugs. But he is a leading figure in the incoming US administration. Is our policy now that foreign governments can speak this way about us without any consequence?

Nick Clegg, former Deputy Prime Minister, has sold £19 MILLION in Meta shares He has £21 MILLION left to sell Genuine question Is there any former major Cabinet Minister of any party whose political ambition has NOT been for personal financial benefit in the end? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Venus and the Moon looking lovely tonight! (And fainter Saturn nearby)

Happy New Year

Having a lovely little break on the Turkish/Italian border. Back in the studio on Monday. Happy New Year!

If only all newspapers were presented like this!

Human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. Please remember this

Rishi Sunak and his wife avoiding public scrutiny by changing their company to 'unlimited'... just as David Cameron did ... Seems to be a pattern with Tory Prime Ministers eh? I wonder why..... hmmmmmmmm

🚨Millions of people in this country are living in poverty, destitution & using food banks I’m joining forces with @bigissue.com in calling for a POVERTY ZERO LAW - a statutory duty for every gov’t to set POVERTY REDUCTION TARGETS You can support using link in the thread🙏 youtu.be/uAr58YqXW7I?...

If you're interviewing a Trump apologist in the UK media/politics sphere, don't ask about trade, tariffs or even NATO *until* you've asked about the coup attemt, the sex offending & the felonies. These people claim to care about all the things that Trump denigrates daily. Call them out on it.

Peter Mandelson’s lobbying firm Global Counsel is under investigation by the lobbying regulator What is it about certain politicians and their seeming inability to actually do things for the greater good? Please read @petergeoghegan.bsky.social thread below 👇 It’s important 💪🏼

I feel seen.

Reform MP James McMurdock was jailed for repeatedly kicking his girlfriend. He had told the media he was jailed for "pushing" his former partner in 2006. Court records obtained by The Times say the sentence was given because of "the serious nature of the offence”. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of £5k - later reduced to £3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

The Times journalist who fought to get the story about the Reform MP who kicked his girlfriend multiple times @georgegreenwood.bsky.social tells how hard the newspaper had to right to get the information released. So who has been protecting the Reform MP?

Reform MP James McMurdock (won his seat by 98 votes) didn't disclose his conviction for assaulting his partner before the GE He went on to describe it as a "teenage indiscretion" The Times now reveals he "kicked his girlfriend" repeatedly Thoughts? www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/ref...
