Morrisons are very keen on equality. They paid no tax, so they think farmers shouldn't have to either. Mind, the other supermarkets are just as bad. www.retailgazette.co.uk/blog/2023/07...

To whom are you beholden?

With the hopefully positive news that work on a new National Care Service is set to begin, I must once again remind you lovely people that social care is not just about elderly people, younger disabled people need looking after too, and families can't be relied on forever. 1

Happy New Year

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. Repost if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

🎄🎇 A Very Nigel(la) Quiet Riot: Part I 🎆🎄 @sturdyalex.bsky.social & @pimlicat.bsky.social, review 2024 with their BFFs @nigelsmith.org & @nigella.bsky.social! What surprised us? Who impressed us? What TV did we binge? 🎙️ open.spotify.com/episode/3Wmh... 🍏 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/q...

‘Last Christmas’ by Wham earns £300k per year in royalties. The money doesn’t go to the George Michael estate though. Because it came out at the same time as ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas’, he pledged all royalties to the Band Aid charity and that wish remains in place to this day.

“Migrants, illegal or legal, weren’t responsible for austerity. They weren’t responsible for Brexit. They weren’t responsible for Liz Truss’ failure. Because of populist policies in the ‘30s Hitler was elected. If we follow the same blaming of migrants we will go the same way” #bbcqt

Please help us and take the short survey here...it's all about political donations...something I talk a lot about in my book Democracyforsale.co.uk/safeguard The warrior @petergeoghegan.bsky.social who leads Democracy For Sale is taking this to MPs who support transparency PLEASE SHARE 🙏🏼

The Brexit Curse British food exports to EU ‘have fallen £3bn a year since Brexit’. Border checks, lower standards on pesticides, veterinary drugs, animal welfare make UK exports harder. Brexit costing UK economy about £100bn a year. Rejoin EU. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Caroline Lucas of the Green Party reckons that Water needs to be Renationalised. RT if you know it has to be.

Wow!

That's profit from owning the Electricity Transmission that they spend only £150m a year maintaining, and that you used to own only 20 years ago. Another £100 a year on everyone's bills for their profits.

Let's drop the "NHS is not fit for purpose" bullsh*t peddled by the right. I've recently had 3xGP appts, an xray, blood test & 2 lots of meds - all for £0. Got xray appt within 4 days. NHS needs INVESTMENT. It needs to build on the fab NHS staff doing a great job ❤️ #Labour

Repost if BlueSky is now your primary social media site.

The Reform party Nativity scene. No unmarried mothers, no Mddle Eastern people, no Refugees, no people seeking emergency accommodation, and definitely no wise men.

Express poll needs more input. Link takes you directly to the poll, bypassing the Express website, so you won't boost their ad impressions. (Note: ignore the bit where they ask for your email address. It's optional.) xd.wayin.com/display/cont...

What a great article All of it. Every single sentence. www.bylinesupplement.com/p/russell-jo...

Mum’s making beefy treatse

If the right wing press and their Tory allies want to go after politicians' cvs, then why didn't they go after Iain Duncan Smith when he was the actual party leader?

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?...

Both in the news today for differing reasons. Michael Sheen who remortgaged his house to fund the Homeless World Cup, Jeremy Clarkson who bought a farm to evade tax.

Thank @amalkadog.bsky.social for this one.
