Michelle Mone’s PPE MEDPRO was a company that was less than 3 weeks old, with zero employee’s, no contracts, no premises, no previous transactions of any kind and with £100 in the bank. Then the Government gave it £203,000,000. Jail, jail, jail.

A Doctor yesterday, a Nurse today. Israel is shooting Doctors and Nurses while they work in hospitals. And our Media is completely ignoring it.

Minor tantrum.

A GP explains why the new online booking system will increase the workload of GP surgeries without any corresponding increase in resources, & the fact that the govt has reneged on national standardised safety measures they originally promised to introduce alongside the new system

The global sumud flotilla is now 130 miles from Gaza, the area where Israel has attacked previous boats trying to break the Israeli blockade. In 2010 the Israelis raided a flotilla of 6 ships in international waters & killed 9 people onboard. All eyes on the flotilla.

These figures count as members people who merely cancelled their direct debit thinking that cancelled their membership. It didn't. Probaly quite a lot of people ar being classed as memebers who thought they had left.

Was good to have a serious conversation about the rise of fascism & the Brexit dynamics that have twisted our immigration system, as well as cowardice from our media & our leaders on migration.

Look at this craggy old git. Book launch tonite...

Reminder that in the 60's the US joint chiefs of staff approved a false flag operation called Operation Northwoods to mount terrorist attacks on US military & civilian targets, incl hijacking, & plant evidence implicating Cuba so US could justify invading. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operati...

“Israeli Forces Kill 198 Palestinians in Gaza Over Three Days” It’s a genocide. Daily endless massacres, largely ignored in the West.

ICE made Hyundai's legal Korean engineers drink water off the floor, chained them up, and left them sleeping on moldy mats.

The next three years is going to be Labour telling us to fear reform whilst they move further right

Today's let's-blame-rise-of-far-right-on-anything-but-centrist-defended-inequality/oligarchy soundbite is 'It's all about loss of trust in politicians (caused by Tories)'. There is loss of trust, but that's a *symptom*: of broken promises significantlyto improve lives of folk, especially at bottom.

If you are a journalist proud of the role you played in ensuring the one chance we had of electing a government that would do something significant about inequality (2017 GE) was destroyed, the dawning realisation that... [Grace Blakeley link: substack.com/@graceblakel... ]

3. ⁠this is not the moment for an incredibly expensive increase in state surveillance infrastructure to be run for profit by private tech firms just before Labour ushers in an (even more) authoritarian right wing government. FIX THE GODDAMN COST OF LIVING INSTEAD YOU FREAKS.

2. Countries that have ID cards - like the whole of Europe - still have the same irregular migration problem (you may have heard!!!) & in fact the UK has the lowest share of its economy estimated as irregular economy in Europe so if it fixes the issue WHY DIDNT IT FIX IT THERE?

Ok. They’ve pissed me off. I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards: 1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

Dead cat.

A piece In wrote for Byline Times about the cult of MAGA. It seems increasingly relevant so far as UK politics is concerned too, now. stephenlaw.blogspot.com/2024/03/cult...

The fact this straightforward explanation of the rise of the far right didn't even get a mention in The News Agents Investigates podcast on that very subject is both noteworthy and odd. substack.com/@graceblakel...

That growing deprivation and inequality (inequality grew even under New labour) are the root cause of the rise of the far right - with the right then engaging in divide and rule: blaming immigrants, muslims, woke, the left, trans, etc. - should be obvious.

President Trump, "London has a terrible mayor.. Now they want to go to sharia law" This is who Keir Starmer invited for a state visit

If you're still think Labour's 'antisemitism crisis' wasn't a fraud, here's an overview of all the evidence of which I'm aware. It's pretty conclusive. The media still won't report it though (partly because it reveals their incompetence, or worse). stephenlaw.blogspot.com/2019/02/my-i...

Hi there, I’ve just signed the petition below calling for the boycotting of Eurovision unless Israel is banned. Will you add your name too and then share it far and wide? 38d.gs/qh_c

Remember: The GOP’s nonsensical culture wars are meant to distract you from corporate corruption and plunder. [Cartoon by Jace Avery]

Who on 'the left' could have predicted the catastrophe that is Starmer's Labour Party and the rise of the far right? Almost anyone outside the cult of centrism.

Test whether you've unwittingly internalised a 'hierarchy of racism': ask yourself how you'd respond if 'muslims' in these headlines were replaced with 'jews'. The 'jews' headlines would rightly provoke outrage and horror across the media. The 'muslims' headlines are completely normalised.

Science.

A sort of collective insanity is taking root, as if they're on mind-bending drugs.

Starmer & Lammy, with their blood-soaked hands, must hope their mates in the media will rehabilitate them later, airbrushing out the Bad Stuff (*awfully* bad taste even to mention it) and providing them with the same warm, rosy, slightly nostalgic glow they've since bestowed on Alister Campbell.

Noor is 10 years old and has had both her legs amputated after Israel bombed her home. There are no antibiotics to give her following the amputations because Israel is blocking them from entering the strip. Ibrahim al Khalili reports

If this is a form of mental illness, it appears to be highly contagious.

They’re betting everything on “this time even tougher than ever we promise” on immigration to save Starmer. I’d say brace for a proper BNP-style conference speech.

"President Trump labeled Antifa domestic terrorists" a Trump-supporting journalist tells Starmer. "Would you consider doing something like that in your country?" Starmer: "Well, er, we obviously will take decisions for ourselves"

Jimmy Kimmel is being cancelled for this comment “We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it.”

Susanna Reid asks James Murray about the govts promise to put more money into the pockets of working people. Murray says the govt is taking action & he cites the £3 bus fare cap erm.. the govt increased the cap from £2 to £3. Thats taking money out of peoples pockets! #GMB

I just cancelled Disney Plus as a resul of Disney's caving in to Trump pressure and cancelling @jimmykimmel.com

I just cancelled @DisneyPlusUK as a result of Disney's (as parent company) cancelling Jimmy Kimmel under pressure from Trump. @DisneyPlus @jimmykimmel.com

All of the unions in Hollywood should immediately boycott Disney/ABC. They only care about money, so go after that.
