The man on stage chillingly says: „She spoke up and now she doesn’t want to suffer the consequences“, mocking her, as unidentified men drag a woman and zip-tie her under the sheriffs orders, because she had dared to peacefully speak out during a town hall. This is fascism.

Just saying! #DOGEDOGE

Woman who voted for Leopards Eating People's Faces Party gets rude awakening. Read to the end.

Brexit: “that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up”… give ourselves food poisoning, lose control, swamp ourselves in red tape, pay more for stuff and stubbornly isolate ourselves from our own continent… A relentless, ruinous stupidity. (Private Eye)

Spot what’s wrong

Wow!!!!

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Nope:

Just a little poll in The Express. You know what to do —> xd.wayin.com/display/cont...

Banksy drops another bomb.

Gulf of Mexico. Twitter.

When folks wake up… Coming to a bar near you in about 6 months.

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

King Charles took one of his two helicopter's on his visit to one of the two food banks that he opened. These two helicopters cost 20x as much as the Food Banks. And you pay for it all. #NotMyKing

“Thousands of sixth form college teachers are on strike after being denied a pay rise given to other teachers. Their walkout shows that workers wanting fair treatment from this government will have to fight for it” @graceblakeley.bsky.social tribunemag.co.uk/2025/01/sixt...

The KKK is a Free Speech issue. But Free Palestine is terrorism...

You've been told over and over again that Gaza's official death toll is false. That's absolutely right. The death toll is in fact a drastic underestimate 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/new-study-...

To whom are you beholden?

“Exxon and other major players funded misinformation campaigns to sow doubt about climate science, delaying action and worsening the crisis. California is part of a growing number of states and local governments challenging these lies through litigation.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Labour Mayor Steve Rotherham signed off with the Tories on the Liverpool SEZ and Freeport. Wirral council in crisis, it is looking to avoid issuing a Section 114 notice which is technically bankruptcy. It's like watching lemmings jump off a cliff. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

Far right honker, Nigel, furiously peddles stupid, prejudiced ideas that make you poorer. Then, when you are poorer, he tells you you’re right to feel angry about that. But not with him. For love of god, England, work it out… (Private Eye)

The Met Police banning opponents of Israel's genocide from protesting outside the BBC underlines a central truth. Opponents of mass slaughter are demonised as hateful extremists. Cheerleaders of barbarism are 'mainstream moderates'. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/metropolit...

The Daily Mail has never been pro-British- it has always been pro-fascist. The Daily Mail is owned by the 4th Viscount Rothermere, passed on from 3rd, 2nd & 1st Viscounts. It’s been a tool of hereditary power & privilege undermining our democracy. Musk & Trump excite them to take their mask off.

We are in the opening shots of a war between billionaires, their global corporate, and civil society. Civil society is the host, and they are the cancer.

Left: Newsnight invite Nigel Farage on to talk about local councils planning to delay local elections Right: Even though the LibDems e.g. @alpinkerton.bsky.social have been campaigning for elections to go ahead as normal, they're nowhere to be seen, even though they have 14x as many MPs

Left: Nigel Farage, "There are people in the country who have sympathy for much of what Tommy Robinson said about grooming gangs, he wasn't wrong about that stuff" Right: The rich white grooming gang they never talk about - "Epstein and Maxwell implicated in multiple UK abuse claims over a decade"

#EmbarrassmentInChief 🤮

"So concerned were Reform MPs at child abuse, none turned up to the Commons debate"

Nazir Afzal, "When Keir Starmer and I left the CPS we had the highest rate of child sexual abuse prosecutions in our history.. That is Keir Starmer's legacy" "Boris Johnson said that investigating child sexual abuse was money spaffed up a wall"

Mick Lynch "Nigel Farage is a racist." RP if Mick is right.

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.

Starmer says in Badenoch's 8 years as an MP - including as Children's Minister and Women & Equalities Minister - she hasn't once raised rape gangs or child sexual abuse in the House. Badenoch pivots to talking about the Cass Review on treatment for trans children. #PMQs youtu.be/aRA3sbZ8a3o

If anybody else did this would we ever hear the end of it?

At some point people will look back at the rates available in the 2010s and be utterly bemused that we didn’t take the chance to hugely upgrade our national infrastructure. on.ft.com/4fNdIQN

A teeny weeny 2% tax on Britain’s super rich would raise £24 billion. Think of all the good we could with a sum like that - and it would only ever so slightly make the tax system more fair - plenty of room for improvement after that.

Professor Alexis Jay, who led a 7-year review of sexual abuse which reported in 2022, says starting a new inquiry would delay any implementation of her own recommendations:

In other news, Nigel Farage didn't bother to turn up to the debate on grooming gangs in the House of Commons just now

Pity Farage wasn’t asked about this - he should be forced to own it @bbclaurak.bsky.social @theneweuropean.bsky.social
