A former acquaintance of mine - also an Old Etonian - who had never expressed a political sentiment in the ten years I'd known him said much those same words to me ca 2001. He viewed it as "something to do" because he didn't really have to work like the rest of us.

Warren: "With Jeffrey Epstein, I really mean follow the money. Here's the deal - JPMorgan Chase - yes, Jamie Dimon, I'm looking at you -- is Epstein's bank, a close personal relationship that spans years. Shouldn't this be in the JPMorgan's ads?...I'd like to have Dimon come in & under oath testify"

Lib Dems to force vote on creating new customs union with EU Ed Davey’s party believes the move is the best way to ‘turbocharge’ economy, rather than tax rises www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This raises the worrying prospect that overwhelming media power in Britain could be concentrated in the hands of a tiny number of very wealthy, extremely nasty and very right wing crackpots who will use it for malignant ends

🕯️🇺🇦 Holodomor: History of Attempts to Erase the Ukrainian Nation According to the most reliable demographic research, around 3.9 million people died within the borders of the then Ukrainian SSR. The real number may be higher. Read more ⤵️ theukrainianreview.info/holodomor-hi...

There’s a surprise.

The SNP are not forcing Scotland to choose independence. The people are asking them to get it for them.

Blue Labour is playing with fire by demonising foreigners. If all the foreign workers say "screw this" and leave, the UK will be on its knees.

Oh please!

🚨In a week where Russian neo-Nazi groups are offering cash prizes for the first three executed Ukrainians, and a British propagandist has filmed himself encouraging pigs to feed on the bodies of dead Ukrainian soldiers.

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.” Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

Again, I recall Michael Gove in Parliament basically saying to one pissed off Tory MP after another: Let’s just shitefest this disastrous drivel over the line and argue about the details later. An argument that appears to have won over basically everyone who matters, who then sold it to the public.

When we have a Government that actually governs for the people and not lobbyists and does not line their pockets ,then just maybe the UK will be ok. Until then we need to make sure we don't vote stupidly. Voting Reform , Tory or Labour is like punching yourself in the head, they are all far right.

In an historic betrayal a weakened and desperate Trump has taken Putin's side, and we must fight this with everything we got👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/after-his-...

Brexit has caused almost twice as much damage to the UK economy than estimated by official forecasts, according to new paper from a group of experts including a senior Bank of England economist

Obnoxious man, he will never get my business...

Boris Johnson’s lack of leadership over the seriousness of Covid led to the first lockdown being introduced too late, which contributed to the loss of 23,000 lives, the official inquiry into his handling of the pandemic has concluded inews.co.uk/news/politic...

In Lebanon, Israel launched an airstrike on a Palestinian refugee camp Ein el-Hilweh, killing 13 people and wounding several others. Another Israeli attack targeted a vehicle in southern Lebanon, killing one person.

So, #r4today reports on the Covid inquiry and the “too little, too late” Tory govt, then says they’ll be talking to *Lord* Gove about it. Ugh. That just sums up so much that’s so very wrong with our politics and media. Rewarding, rather than punishing, those responsible for failing us all.

It never stops. The grubby donations. The profiteering. The lobbying. The lies. “In 2019-20, as the UK was leaving the EU, Harborne gave £10m to Nigel Farage’s Brexit party, since renamed Reform UK.” They make damn sure they get what they want. We get screwed. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This is insane. Labour have leapt several orders of magnitude further up the "hostility to immigrants" ladder this week, and Britain is now on course to be the least welcoming country in Europe. NOTE: Labour want it that way: they were BOASTING that the UK would be harsher than any other country.

Cory Doctorow: "Tesla sells cars with software that limits the amount of battery you can use & it charges a subscription to unlock the rest. And yet, the driver owns the whole battery—they’re being charged to use their own physical property.

liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/405... Boris Johnson killed as many people as 92 Harold Shipmans. We should never forgive him.

I agree and he should be locked up for life...

I won’t be the only 1 asking this. Why hasn’t Johnson, Hancock, rest of the Tory gov involved in this catastrophe been charged with failure in public office? (Many would say murder) Is it because they’re rich/privileged? Yes it is. Their wealth makes them unaccountable. It makes democracy laughable

🇬🇧 We should never forget that british governments will always prioritise England first 🇬🇧 Even when it comes to prioritising lives

The Covid Inquiry finds that if Boris Johnson had called the first lockdown even one week earlier then it could have saved at least 20,000 lives. Here's a quick reminder of what Johnson was actually doing during those weeks

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...

People forget what Khashoggi was investigating when he was murdered. He was writing about Kushner turning over classified info to MBS, who used it to hunt down, arrest and murder his opponents.

My thoughts are with all who lost loved ones or still struggle with effects of #Covid. Tho we knew it at the time, confirmation of the “toxic & chaotic culture” at heart of Govt; that they did “too little, too late” & that faster action could have saved over 20K lives is still horrifying
