Magic Money Tree. UK govt to hand £130bn to Bank of England to pay stealth subsidy to banks. Govts gave £895bn QE to speculators, banks profited. Govt reversing QE, selling bonds at loss, covering BoE losses from rising interest rates and the unwinding of QE, banks make billions.

Starmer ready to put UK troops in Ukraine if peace deal reached. Must be approved by parliament. Cost? Duration? What role - prevent Russian expansion, prevent Ukraine from recovering territory, or carry out Trump's orders? Why is this not a UN task? What is the exit strategy? archive.ph/bNlua

The British state helped facilitate Israel's genocide. Its leaders now use their own victims as fodder for voters' prejudices. We are ruled by truly disgusting people 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/keir-starm...

The thing with everything now is everything is true at the same time nothing is true. Fair play to @lewisgoodall.com to try show the factual path but it’s a hard slog these days to get so many things that were once universally accepted as the basis of fact for any discussion these days.

Closer economic ties with the European Union will boost UK growth by up to 2.2%. Brexit has inflicted huge harm. Must rejoin EU. Better to build closer ties with the EU than bowing to the unhinged man in the White House. archive.ph/1lyUW

I saw illegality and complicity with war crimes. That’s why I quit the UK Foreign Office, a devastating account by a UK diplomat who quit in Aug 2024. Ministers & senior officials protected arms deals facilitating death and horror in Gaza and Yemen. Parliament emasculated. No one held to account.

Barclays Bank tells customers to contact food banks as IT glitch disruption enters third day. It made £6.6bn pre-tax profit last year but can't produce a robust IT system. I bet no one told directors to go to food banks. news.sky.com/story/barcla...

21% of people were in poverty in 2003/04. 21% of people were still in poverty in 2022/23. 20 years and no progress on poverty 📢 Behind these numbers are real people. Real struggles. Listen to some of their voices. 1/2
