Ever wondered where the dozens of supposedly independent gourmet burger outlets in your local area suddenly sprung up from? Well it turns out many of them are being run out of the exact same pub kitchens, using the exact same food, under entirely different names. bylinetimes.com/2024/12/12/b...

So it turns out they spent £715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda. For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK

I mean this obviously can't stand. You can't have a foreign extremist, who used social media to encourage & facilitate far-right violence, plough huge donations to his favoured British political party. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/is-elo...

Nigel Farage is so strongly opposed to a smoking ban that he couldn’t be bothered to vote on it, because his contract with GBNews is more important. uk.news.yahoo.com/nigel-farage...

Important context here: ● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares) ● "a big farm" is 217 acres. Now let's see who's angry: ● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres ● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres ● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres ● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

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?...

🚜🙄 Month after month we fought to stop Brexit. No farmers joined us Most voted for Brexit ~ lured by the prospect of more money/ laxer rules Rich nobs like Clarkson, Dyson, hoovered up land to offset against tax The enemy is Johnson/the supermarkets/ the FTAs with Australia. Not Starmer #farmers

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds
