🔥 “There’s something wrong in this country… everything has gone up but wages… how many yachts and houses does one person need? — They want us to stay poor, stay hidden, and die silently.” 🇺🇸 #FightTheOligarchy H/T @violadavis.bsky.social

"Another ecological disaster is occurring in Teesside. It can be difficult to keep track of the widespread environmental vandalism caused by the Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) and its business associates. But the scale of the Redcar P+R devastation is particularly sudden and stark."

This is Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy, appointed by Farage. Candy boasted to an FT journalist in 2010, "I don't pay tax!" (From his home in Monaco) He and his brother developed property in London through an offshore company to avoid tax. Patriotic? It's a con.

Who is thinking about the world after Trump? We need to do that because Trump is a temporary phenomenon. But what will come after him? youtu.be/TyO9MDLbGyI?...

Farage, Badenoch and the US far-right are all lining up to attack people with autism, ADHD and other conditions that indicate people might have special educational needs. The move is sinister, wrong and profoundly worrying. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04...

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

“Reasons why the Single Transferable Vote is the proportional voting system we should be working towards.” 👏👏👏

Margaret Thatcher said that the problem with socialists was that they always ran out of other people's money. In the intervening years, what has become abundantly clear, is that the problem with capitalism is that the greed of the wealthy can never be satisfied & it's the poor who must pay for it.

The Treasury seems to think relaxing financial rules will boost growth. There’s little evidence for this idea – and every reason to believe it could exacerbate risks www.theguardian.com/business/com...

The great energy rip-off www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04... Energy prices in the UK are massively overstated as a result of UK government policy that guarantees we're ripped off and City traders profit massively. And, so far, Labour is showing no signs of doing anything about this.

Rachel Reeves could cut the interest paid by the government to the UK’s commercial banks by up to £20bn a year. So why won’t she, when she says she is so short of money that those with disabilities must suffer? youtu.be/XITKNiosNwk?...

The vast majority of Brits prefer public ownership of vital national infrastructure and services Unfortunately most politicians in the Westminster cartel prefer privatisation profiteering, and all the freebies & lucrative executive jobs the privatisation profiteers hand out to compliant politicians

We took over the giant screen at Farage’s big rally in Birmingham

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Quite the travesty that @nytimes.com spent so long normalizing mass Covid infections & platforming folks like Emily Oster, and now they publish this...

Oh.

“He said there has been an increase in members of the adult labor force who have excess disabilities in recent years, which he attributed to C19 vaccinations.” Nope, nope, nope C19 is a vascular & neurologic disease that causes disability. It’s making us sicker, not vaccines (which reduce risk)

So we can't pay the young son of a Hamas minister to narrate a BBC documentary But we can put the son of a KGB agent in the House of Lords, paying him to make our laws 🤷‍♂️

Dictator for a day has gone full Napoleon.

This is the pivotal point, which the Starmer government must understand electorally if it can't understand it politically

Thought experiment for Labour… With over 4yrs and a huge majority, why not stir it up? Pitch your tent defiantly on the liberal lawn, loudly reject the epic failures of Brexit and rightwing immigration ideology and see how many liberal votes you gain instead of chasing Reform into a toxic dead end?

NEW: Weekend News Agents Trump politicises a national tragedy within seconds. Why can he not help himself? Because it’s intrinsic to his politics of aggression and blame. PLUS you asked me why the Greens don’t get more coverage. We try and answer. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

My statement on the FBI Purge that puts at risk the safety, well-being and national security of the American people.

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it We cannot allow them to rewrite history. If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely youtu.be/MUrf7addcTA?...

If you don’t want history to be re-written please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call this boll**** out with the actual facts

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history: In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun." The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen. So they refused to announce a winner🤡

“self-centred obsessives have no concern for the interests of others… …but they apparently understand each other enough to defend their shared privilege.”

Is that what you wanted MAGAts? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

Long covid has cost $15.5 billion in the UK That's a 0.5% drop in GDP The best ways to manage long covid is to avoid getting covid in the first place with clean indoor air, vaccinations for everyone who wants one, and when cases are high, masks in busy indoor areas Why aren't we?

GUYS! FELLAS! DUDES! This is on us. To acknowledge the inauguration of a rapist & his rapist filled cabinet, I will once again point out to all my fellow men that this applies to your mother, wife, sister & daughter more times over than you will ever know.

Listen up.

Reform says it's raising millions - but what has Farage's party done with the money it's received in the past? I took a deep dive into Reform's 'wholly exceptional' accounts, and found a 'black hole' and some major questions Full story here: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/the-black-...

Sick people!! 🤬

just insane. Reviewing a paper on covid in Canada that finds an 11-fold increase in risk of hospitalization in the month after infection. Just absolutely bonkers. I've been doing respiratory virus epi for a long time, and we really don't trade in statistics like "relative risk = 11"

Weird how the private school VAT whiners don’t realise that every time they say they’ll now “have” to send their kids to state schools what 93% of people hear is “I am better than you. Why should I have to put up with the shit you do, peasant?” It’s an almost impossibly unsympathetic position.

Back in mid 2020 I offered to source and fund air filters for every classroom in our kids' schools. The school told me that it would prevent the children from getting the essential infections they needed to catch as children. That was the point at which I knew we were doomed.

As you can see from this research the risk of a clot from a vaccine is rare, compared to the much bigger risk of blood clots from Covid infections. Regardless of what alarmist information in some MSM. These are the facts. www.ndorms.ox.ac.uk/news/covid-j...

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ New Year's Day was a day that enslaved Black people feared the most. Why? It was the day that slave masters would rent them out or auction them off. This would result in the splitting up of (cont) #ResistanceRoots #ProudBlue #USDemocracy ibw21.org/reparations/...

We are failing to protect babies & pregnant people… a lot to unpack here: “on average more than 3/4 of tissue in infected placentas had been damaged, cutting off oxygen & nutrients essential for fetal survival. this damage could occur silently, even in mothers without acute Covid symptoms” 🧵

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.

Dominic Cummings' toxic legacy continues to impoverish us, in multiple ways. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Hourly Christmas Day Rates £17.56 - Doctor (F1, newly qualified) £37.76 - Physician Associate (Band 7, newly qualified) How much longer will Labour blame the Conservatives for the mess they inherited before they take action and end the scandal of PAs?
