All this preemptive capitulation to Putin and US Secretary of State Rubio has just said “"It may turn out that they don’t want to end the war. I don’t know; we’re going to find out." kyivindependent.com/the-only-way...

Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House. Here's our News Agents video essay which explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cufM...

His narcissism and grasping need for praise and attention soon took him to the right as liberals began to distance themselves from his behavior.

Have a great weekend. It could be our last.

#MerryChristmas everyone.

I love Ian Hislop but it’s worth noting that most of us would balk at the prospect of publicly admonishing a wrongdoer whose conduct you condemn in this way. I did it once to the UKIP/Reform/Brexit twerp Richard Tice but that took exactly zero guts. This is speaking truth to actual power…

#HVO significant position at sub 20p taken today

Victoria Derbyshire nails Jeremy Clarkson over his Inheritance Tax scam. Hilarious to watch him squirm.

Thames Water shareholders extracted billions, don't want to invest. Has £19bn debt. New borrowing £3bn at 9.75% for 2.5yrs. Interest+fees likely to be £800m, £3.8bn repayment. Will be recouped from 16m customers. Extra £95 a yr. Leaks will remain unplugged. Sewage will be dumped archive.ph/5UKbP

#DailyMail Struggling to live with the reality of evolution and moving forward. The paper should be consigned to history, where it's desperate to pull it's readers back to. Up with workhouses, down with human rights! 🤦

Why inheritance tax charges are really good for real farmers – but not f... youtu.be/s9J0GpnXNhY?... An inheritance tax charge helps farming to reclaim farming for farmers and for the benefit of the people of this country. Labour is, for once, on their side and even doing the right thing.

Sorry. But this right wing media howling about landowners and employers having to pay a bit more tax is tiresome. Where was your analysis and anguish over the impact of Brexit on… trade farming travel fishing businesses education the arts science healthcare the costs and losses for *all* of us…?

Clarkson is the problem, not the solution. Works on a similar MO to Boris.

Starmer needs to rebuild a EU trading relationship asap. UK plc is looking like a very small island nation. Thanks Brexiteers. You've successfully pulled the country back in time and made many substantially poorer. That's why they don't want to talk about it. It's that much of a success! 🤦

Spot on. The power of right wing media via their billionaire non domicile owners persuading people to vote/argue against their best interests. Look what Brexit did to UK farming! Liz Truss's woeful trade deals! The real enemies of the people.

People like #Dyson are the problem. Buying up huge amounts of acreage to dodge inheritance tax. This subsequently over inflates agricultural land. Farmers, look at the real problem. Unless this tax loophole is close, the #Clarksons of this world will fill that void.

The Country Land and Business Association says the new £1m cap on agricultural inheritance tax relief will "harm 70,000 farms". That's 1/3 of all farms. What does the actual data show? Less than 500 farms/year will be pay more tax as a result of this change every year. Possibly as few as 100.

“For the sake of Britain, Europe and humanity, it’s time for us to get back with the European team” Me for Byline Times (@bylinetimes.bsky.social) on what Trump’s election means for US-UK-EU relations.

I wonder what the One Nation Tory Lord Bill Deedes would make of his old paper the Telegraph these days… Sir David English - the passionately pro-European editor of the Daily Mail - of what’s become of it… the liberal Sir Robin Day, the BBC. All turning in their graves…

If you know that the problem is the billionaires. Not the immigrants, disabled people, woke people, left lawyers, train drivers or whoever else the billionaires are trying to blame today. RT and let everyone know
