I agree, I would however, extend the thought to - MP's are legally blind to only do the job they were elected for and cannot take any donations to achieve this position (or after) other than an agreed amount (max £500 per person per year) from residents in the constituency they are standing.

This is stuck now... Bollocks.

No way? I'm shocked and stunned.

Really important thread folks... As always, empires never see their collapse coming, it's often started by someone for the completly opposite reason and no-one can stop it. The irony of this would be hilarious.

Classic Saudis. 😔

Booooooom.

Absolutely. One of my personal takes is that most people don't object to people earning money, even shit tonnes of it. What most people don't get though is that those that do have it, nearly always, use that VAST wealth to control politics to stop others doing it. And that's really dangerous.

He's not wrong.

The media does what the media likes, interest fades and Anger spikes, A virus here A genocide there, What tweeks the interest Is never fair. It's all just controlled and rolled, like Shit, in icing sugar.

Keir Starmer's political failure comes down to one issue above all others: his unwillingness to put the public interest ahead of the demands of the oligarchs, corporations and foreign governments who lobby him. Whoever replaces him had better be prepared to stand up for us, or Labour's finished.

Good luck everyone.

Oh I'm loving this.

"We are not strangers at all, but neighbours with common struggles." 💙 This week is Million Acts of Hope. A UK-wide celebration of the everyday people making a difference in their communities. Tell us: what hopeful acts do you see happening in your community?

A really important point.

Michael and his dad's idea for the week. Nationalise all UK power and water but place them into a sovereign wealth fund style system like Norway. All monies made from it would be dedicated to national infrastructure. Just a thought.

Now that's interesting.

Another great point by Dr Lester (or is it professor?)

Just saying....

As many other people are saying... Duuuuuhhh... Now let's make the whole of the British isles coastline a protected marine reserve. No commercial fishing companies allowed, at all. Only private individuals and small businesses should be allowed to fish, with pots and lines and small nets.

Oh look, he's just keep lying.

Are you YES yet ? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ☘️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇪🇺 😎

One of the most resilient peoples on this planet, facing US blockades since it's inception and still going, but for how much longer? Saddening.

Just ask yourself… Is the country safe in his hands?

Hear hear!

Yup.

Never forget how the BBC have enabled this. Never let up until those who are happily helping to continue this skewed narrative are brought to justice.

Their interpretation of British identity

Pretty much.

Show me an example of how broken the British political system is..... Oh, WOW, REALLY? THAT BAD? yup, That bad.

The secret £5 million payment to Farage by an overseas billionaire is the most astonishing example of political corruption. Don’t let up.

I have no idea who this is but I do rather like the fellow. I've never heard it said before but he is spot on, MAGA IS THE LAST DYING THROWS OF THE CONFEDERACY. And this thing is, it's a global thing now.

I AM NOT FREE UNTIL WE ARE ALL FREE. ✊

Sadly it was ever thus with the police.

When institutions want to follow the preferences of their members, to remain trans inclusive, they can and should. Why should the self appointed toilet police at Sex Matters get to overrule the wishes of users?

An unsurprising position for an American bank to take eh.

I appreciate that this is funny but, at the same time, it's part of Nigel and his ilks plan. They have no intention of changing govt, they intend to destroy govt. That has always been his ilks plan, from Bannon to Putin, Tice to Thiel - brake govts and dismantle democracy.

If it wasn't for the fact that by electing people from reform you'll get the worst govt this country might have ever seen, plague the lives of normal people and allow for the utter destruction of all social and govt systems - this would be hilarious.

So this is interesting - as someone who has worked in the festival industry for 25+ years but never been to America or Coachella this event does seem quite odd - more binfluencers & fuckwits than anything else but hey, maybe I'm wrong. And yes, event not a festival because that, is not, a festival!

The TV news and Press covering Farage versus The TV news and Press covering Labour and Zack Polanski

This applies to everyone. I'm Scottish Green party and it's better here with STV but still, the country needs PR. Democracy needs PR.

I've donated to this crowdfunder as an act of solidarity with young Black people who continue to face overwhelming prejudice and disadvantage in the workplace. White supremacists want this to continue but we absolutely cannot let them win.

This is appalling and something we must fight tooth and nail to claw back. #stoppalantir

I'm shocked and stunned I tell you... Shocked And Stunned.

#PalantirOut - that's what should be happening, but instead they're been allowed full access to individuals' records. "All-round access was originally intended only for NHS England employees with security clearance" www.ft.com/content/8ce1...

Our election campaigns were rooted in fighting to end the housing affordability crisis, and voters have spoken. Green Mayors @zoegarbett.bsky.social & @liamshrivastava.bsky.social alongside Carla Denyer MP have written to the government to demand a Rent Controls Bill in the King's Speech tomorrow

Ouch... I mean distinctly possible but still, Ouch!

Well this will be interesting...

Hear hear!
