🚨Wow - this will be huge if it bears out. Exit polls show the pro-EU D66 party has WON the Dutch election. The far-right PVV party of Geeet Wildsrs has lost 12 seats, according to exit polls. Huge if true.

UK must reform drug pricing to become life sciences superpower, says GSK boss. This is big pharma doublespeak. They want 25% hike in NHS drugs prices to boost their profits. Govt ready to capitulate. People will pay higher taxes, or forego treatment. Govt must manufacture generic drugs.

This is what I’ve been banging on about in the mornings over the last two days…BBC Shortbread is simply corrupt and despicable!

"Workers rights bill and living wage rise will lead to a jobs bloodbath", says Daily Mail. Apparently making workers insecure/poor is the way to economic growth Silence on fat-cattery, food bank queues, 34% of universal credit claimants are in work Light years away from Cadbury/Quaker capitalism.

UK pensioners account for 44% of all taxpayers facing HMRC bill for interest earned on savings. Personal allowance frozen since 2021. More pensioners caught in tax and poverty trap, recieve unexpected tax bills. Phoning HMRC for help is a nightmare.

Too many people including senior politicians are using the grooming gangs scandal to make cheap political points & not caring abt victims of horrendous abuse. Step forward Nigel Farage who has been asked by female survivors of grooming gangs to apologise. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I’m told Labour MPs have been told by whips to *abstain* in the vote on Nigel Farage’s ten-min rule bill on leaving the ECHR, which has left some furious. Whips’ arguments seems to be to just ignore it. Labour MPs worry it leaves Lib Dems/Greens looking like only they care on this.

Labour doesn't want to build a 'new state' - it has been persuaded by the Big Tech backed Tony Blair Institute that it should outsource the state to Big Tech. This is a catastrophe in the making. Here's how to tell the PM what you think: action.goodlawproject.org/tell-keir-st...

Nigel Farage is wrong about the European Convention on Human Rights. goodlaw.social/v3qy

Minority representation on TV causes outrage From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain. Nobody with any sense or decency should be there. No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there. Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

Thameslink -since 8.00am- have been announcing a myriad of delays and cancellations due to a passenger on an earlier train causing a disturbance. I’m intrigued as to how someone can cause such chaos so early in the morning. Is the passenger some super villain from the Marvel Universe?

Reform very unhappy with the coverage they got from Welsh media. The message is clear: the far-right can only succeed when they enjoy the fawning treatment that English media provide.

Starmer stood in Aberdeen and pledged 1,000 jobs for GB Energy. It was reported everywhere, we all heard it, even GB Energy chair confirmed it Now Shanks is pretending that promise never existed 😡 Shouting!!! I would have hit the lying little Labour sewer rat with a brick www.thenational.scot

The Scottish Government has called on a UK-wide review into the state pension age to take into account Scotland's lower average life expectancy

Zia Yusuf complaining about councils being underfunded While sitting next to Danny Kruger who since 2019 was part of the government that underfunded the councils Yusuf is complaining about

This attempt to both-sides obvious undeniable racism is a truly grim way to report this bsky.app/profile/itvp...

Are we in for income tax rises? 👀 Our very own Faiza Shaheen discusses the budget rumours on Storm Huntley. Why is the chancellor weighing up taxes on ordinary workers (who are already struggling) when she could tax the super-rich (who would barely notice it) instead?

Jeremy Corbyn has condemned Westminster's rejection of a news outlet's press pass as a 'flagrant attempt to suppress investigative journalism,' urging the authorities to reverse the decision through a tabled motion

"I know I will be deeply unpopular with certain ppl for pointing this out but it needs to be said. You may feel warmly self-righteous by voting for one of these smaller parties, but all that will happen is that the Labour, Tory, Reform, or LibDem candidate will thank you." weegingerdug.wordpress.com

Labour has fallen to its lowest rating in a YouGov poll, with Green support at an all-time high, it has emerged

If and when Your Party formally endorses independence they can ask for Scottish left wing votes. Until then they are asking folk to buy a pig in a poke.

This will blow the minds of Reform UK voters.

Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.' We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them. Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse. Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.

A wee nugget here regarding Dounreay which may have slipped under the radar: "The full decontamination of the site is expected to take *more than 300 years*" 12 generations. I wonder if they'll have "allowed" us another independence referendum by then. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ummm, the rise in the state pension age to 67 was introduced by the Coalition Government in 2014, not Labour, and paying inheritance tax when you die doesn't affect your retirement income when you're alive.

Reform Councillors bitten the dust, Imagine those clowns in Power, be worse than Tories & Labour.

Latest Polling by @YouGov 🟣 Reform 27% 🔵 Tory 17% 🔴 Labour 17% 💚 Green 16% 🟠 Lib Dem 15% This is the LOWEST Labour has ever polled with YouGov. This is the HIGHEST @greenparty.org.uk has ever polled with YouGov. 4 parties within 2 points of each other for second place.

A man is judged by the company he keeps.

OBR to downgrade UK productivity. UK at or near bottom of the OECD investment league for 30 yrs. Problem: City has short term horizons, direct state investment neutered. China invests 40.4% of GDP in productive assets, India 30.5%, UK 18.2%, OECD average 23%. Must abandon neoliberal constraints.

This is exactly why Scotland must stand against nuclear power…and the fact that we’ll find that waste in 🇬🇧 will be stored here and will take 10,000+ years before it would be considered even remotely safe…wake up Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 👇

Independent Scotland will be one of the Richest Countries in Europe. It's therefore baffling that so few Scots want Independence! Do they really think Scotland can't be more dynamic and fiscally progressive, than the Republic of Ireland? Really?

“No other country judged the quality of a PPE offer on the political connections of the firm.” @russellscott1.bsky.social worked with us to expose the VIP lane and PPE scandal. Watch his conversation with @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on the continuing lack of accountability: https://bit.ly/4olwHXu

Private rent in England now swallows nearly 60% more of the average wage than it does in Scotland on top of far higher council tax too talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/10/28/p...

“NHS Scotland will not be ‘decimated’ by private equity because the SNP oversight ‘of devolved, generous funding enables a “collectivist” approach with less private penetration’.”

The Spectator and others have chosen (deliberately I suspect) to interpret this article as a desire to stop a future Reform UK government from legislating. My purpose is to stop *any* government crushing our fundamental rights. It’s just more urgent now. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
