Rolls-Royce wants £3bn in public money for a new plane engine. Austerity for us, corporate welfare for them. It has already had £210 million in public funding from the people, and made £2.5bn profit - now it wants MORE while Starmer cuts disabled people's welfare??? www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

So @wildjustice.bsky.social is too edgy for @privateeyenews.bsky.social ! We're fans because the magazine speaks truth to power . That's what WJ tries to do too . We were surprised when PE said that it wouldn't run our second and third adverts , especially as they gave no reason for this .

Leave your Eurocentric views aside. Trump is admittedly trying to extract resources from EU but the main result of trumps tariff revolution is a war - a literal economic war - on Asia. South East Asian nations will now flock to China.

We need to talk about a scam that many MP's are using, they make you pay the rent for a house to use for 'work'. Then they rent out their own house, and live in the one you pay all the bills for. This benefit scam needs to be stopped it's costing you millions.

Slashing benefits to meet an arbitrary fiscal target would be unethical, short sighted and illogical. ❌ 2 in 5 people receiving disability benefits already experience hardship. This means they are either unable to afford enough food, heat their home or pay household bills. 1/3
