England's children's homes run by private equity rake in millions. Private firms own 83% of homes. Average charge for a child in care is £281,000 a year. Some charge £63,000 a week per child. For-profit homes provide the worse care. End privatisation scam. www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/market...

Just like much of the furore this week, here is an example of a law passed 4 years ago and the Tories did nothing with it. Within months of us being in power we delivered the scheme because we are about actual actions and real outcomes. They talked we walked. www.burytimes.co.uk/news/2484314...

In the weeks since the election, we’ve begun to see just how far corporate media will go to appease the man who, for nine years on an almost daily basis, has maligned the profession of journalism and put individual journalists in danger. (Sorry about the picture): www.marytrump.org/p/the-appeas...

I never know how helpful 'Imagine ifs' are - although I am partial to reminding people of the media meltdowns when Diane Abbott had a mojito on a train - but seriously, imagine a major Labour politician publicly advertising this level of pant-wetting ignorance. He is shadow Justice Secretary ffs.

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?

He's also offering $100 to everyone who signs. This is essentially 'treating', which in the UK is an electoral offence punishable by up to a year in prison

Last night, Elon Musk handed a $1 million cheque to a randomly chosen voter who signed of his ‘free speech & right to bear arms’ petition. He says he’ll repeat this ‘lottery’ every day until the election. Musk is now buying votes illegally.
