Very important RP and let every American know so they can actually get the treatment that they pay for.

“All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations. This would, by necessity mean no donations from private companies; PLCs, LTDs..” eastangliabylines.co.uk/politics/fig...

Help a fella out & complete this short survey, would you?

I’m looking to speak to some musicians and people from the music industry in Lebanon 🇱🇧 for a piece for the @drownedinsound.org newsletter. Any suggestions and reshares would be appreciated. #journorequest

Does he know he's fat? Perhaps Johnson needs to spend more time at Church. Or... he could just fuck off to obscurity. Please.

If you’re in the mood for a spicy petition, with actual content, try this one. We must learn and act to protect our democracy. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Trump isn’t the real danger to America—it’s Elon Musk “This is a story about oligarch capture of the US,” said Fiona Hill, the senior director for European and Russian affairs in the last Trump White House and a defence adviser to the UK government. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/united...

Does Trump really understand government, or is he going to run it like a business? youtu.be/6NMw2Do4Nmk?... Trump’s new government will be made up almost entirely of business people. The trouble is, the two are nothing like each other and things could go horribly wrong for the Trump as a result.

Jimmy Somerville, magnificently telling the LGB Alliance to get it up em.

Please watch this. People need to know what they're dealing with.

This is why we all need to stop using X. I shouldn’t be but I am still shocked that Musk is now using that platform for posts which “are aimed at sowing terror and fear at federal employees.” www.theverge.com/2024/11/22/2...

Genuine reasons given for voting to leave the EU by people, on Talk shows, articles etc. Seriously, Google any of them a you'll find the source! #RejoinEU ffs

New data on farms and inheritance tax: a third of farm estates over £1.5m aren’t farmers but wealthy people avoiding IHT by sinking money into farmland. The Budget hits farmers too hard and tax avoiders too lightly. It needs to change.

Elon Musk, an abuse of power by a man who doesn’t want the world to know what is doing to damage democracy.

Superb piece by @rachelsylvester.bsky.social on the utter chaos of our criminal justice system.

If passed Lord Woodley’s Bill will end one of the most shocking & monumental injustices of the past half century - the #IPPscandal & head off the medium-term prison capacity crisis at the same time. Let’s not wait for the next ITV drama to do what’s right youtu.be/nkBs2D0Wz_g?...

The richest man in the world is using his $300B+ wealth, propaganda machine, and control of critical U.S. infrastructure to influence Trump's cabinet picks and shield corruption. More people need to be talking about the threat Elon Musk poses to democracy & national security. ⬇️

I normally dont ask for reskeets. But this time I think i will make an exception. PLEASE

Has anybody seen a block list for those weird illuminati folk?

I wrote about the weaponisation of Captain Tom - with uncharacteristic caution - at the time for @bylinetimes.bsky.social - it wasn't just his family that was using his legacy. It was the government too - who were desperate to associate the pandemic with the war. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Wonder why the rule of law is failing? Here are six reasons . . . the rot at the top. This is what happens when we allow government officials to operate in an ethics-free zone with zero accountability.

Let it snow!

With the snow falling it’s hard not to think of those sleeping rough and how difficult it must be In Liverpool if you see someone sleeping rough, the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol has been activated today and people are urged to call this number if they see someone on the streets

Honestly, just fuck the farmers. Quit your whining about your massive tax breaks and 10 year payment terms. Plan your finances like every other bugger.

Seems kinda nice over here, might actually post something sometime.
