Former British Ambassador to Iran Sir Richard John Dalton says that Iran was not on the brink of getting a nuclear weapon "Iran has not taken a decision to develop nuclear weapons" "We should disbelieve Netanyahu's claims unless there is evidence, and I don't believe that evidence exists:

Anyone else worried about the mining of personal and public data to the private sector to create money? Because that’s what these AI deals Starmer is planning really are. An exploitation of peoples’ information, before they can adequately demonstrate how that information will be safely held.🚨

Anyone who believes that Reform UK gives a toss about the 'working man' will believe any old lie. You don't even need to try, because Reform don't.

The only viable source of funding for investment in the UK is UK savers www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/01... Rachel Reeves should stop her globe-trotting with a begging bowl and realise that the only source of investment funding for the UK is UK savers if she changes pension and ISA savings rules.

Reform wants to destroy the UK by destroying its money and its economy youtu.be/mKvVoGVDL5k?... Reform has proposed a Bill in parliament that would destroy the ability of the UK government to create money. A policy of that sort would crash UK economic credibility and our economy.

Inflation is down. When will interest rates follow? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/01... Just walking around was enough to suggest that the UK had a poor Christmas economically. That is now reflected in inflation data, which is down. So, when will the Bank of England start interest rates tumbling?

Borrowing costs are high because that’s exactly what the Bank of England wants www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/01... The Bank of England is totally unnecessarily selling £100 billion of bonds this year that will not fund the government, inflating interest rates and reducing growth as a result.

How long for Reeves? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/01... With Wes Streeting now sending out coded criticisms of Rachel Reeves, how long has she really got before Starmer smells the coffee?

www.theguardian.com/global-devel... I’m appalled at this. Why hasn’t Netanyahu been arrested?

“It's now Labour's job is to deliver the change that was promised” - it won’t. The City and BlackRock who the party are leaning on to “stimulate the economy” not redistribute wealth, which is what the country needs, will do absolutely nothing.

Labour should not need reminding to stick to it's commitments on workers rights. Workers will hold you to account. As a reminder, Green policy goes much further for workers and they actually want to do it 💚 www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

This is a reminder, that now, under Labour and @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social - 20% of NHS funding (from us the tax payer) - gets rediverted to the private sector. In return they see 10% of patients (the simplest cases no less). This is not a good business model. www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

This isn't change. Starmer was never a reformist. You would need a different type of Labour leader for that. One that isn't bought so easily.

Surprise surprise. When reality hits Right between the eyes. #Genocide #USA #Israel #Gaza #WestBank www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

If ministers don’t believe in government it can’t work youtu.be/_2hXFPKHlyk?... For decades we have suffered ministers who get elected to advance their own careers but not to deliver good government, in which they have no belief. Government that’s rotted from the top down is the consequence of that.

Richard Tice making excuses for a wife beater. VAWG accounts for 30% of all violent crimes. VAWG is up 37% on the figures for the previous year.

Starmer seeks to relaunch premiership with new promise to crack down on crime. How about cleaning up politics? Clamping down on insider trading? Working on a clear separation of politics, big business, finance, media, the judiciary and constabulary? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Labour took a £4m donation from Quadrature Capital. The largest in their history - but took it in the window where they wouldn't have to declare it until *after* the election. With links to private healthcare, arms trade and oil & gas - we should all talk about it more.

Nothing better exposes who really owns our democracy than that we sent (and send) to prison for long terms those who protest against this.

Repost if you believe there is enough money to go around - and that the real issue is billionaires greed and political corruption.

Labour’s War on Protest "The Tories introduced laws that criminalised protest to deal with the disorder they knew their policies would cause — and Labour’s refusal to repeal these indicates their interest in protecting that status quo." ~ @francescanwtn.bsky.social tribunemag.co.uk/2024/11/labo...

150 days in power and the @LabourParty struggling to beat 14 years of #ToryCorruption I wonder why that is. Only 20% of voters voted for 🌹,I wonder why that was. Corruption comes in all colours. #starmergeddon is no different from the rest.

Prior to British colonial rule in India, India’s share of the world economy was 23% — as large as all of Europe put together. By the time the British empire had left India, this had dropped to 3%. It's time we were honest about empire and its legacy. My latest piece. www.newarab.com/opinion/its-...

Tax dodging ‘farmers’ like Clarkson & Dyson have exploited the farm inheritance tax rules. The reality is the aristocracy, corporations and Tycoons own 70% of our land, not family farms

#SwindonsSundaySermon: Starmer, a one-term Tory with a Labour minority? Surely not? If one of Labour's private healthcare lobbyist donors can book Starmer in for a charisma bypass, he may have a chance in 2029. But it's not likely says @rachaelswindon.bsky.social www.thecanary.co/opinion/2024...

Left: Laura Kuenssberg suggests that Dominic Raab left parliament of his own volition Right: Dominic Raab was forced to resign after being found guilty of bullying Why is an MP who resigned because he was found guilty of bullying, on a flagship Sunday morning news chat show?

Thought for the day.

This piece is sensibly tentative about the possibilities of success for a new - yes, yet another - left-wing party that ultimately seeks to replace Labour. But its conclusion betrays Beckett’s fatal optimism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Police chief sacked after falsely claiming to be Falklands veteran to get job Mr Adderley lied on his CV when he put himself forward for the role of chief constable. So @RachelReevesMP should also be sacked for lying on Hers, any comment @Keir_Starmer
