Private equity owns lion’s share of children’s foster services in England, ‘bleeding the sector of money’. Profits margins of 19%. Money extracted in interest payments, intragroup charges. Children suffer. Ban profit-taking entities from foster services.

Lloyds Bank CEO latest banking boss in line for huge pay and bonus hike to £13m. Last year Barclays boss got 45% rise, HSBC 43%, NatWest 43%. Govts preach pay restraint to workers. No curbs on profiteering, exec pay, dividends, share buybacks.

I just left the Venezuela briefing. It's worse than you thought. Oil company executives seem to know more about Trump's secret plan to "run" Venezuela than the American people. We need public Senate hearings NOW.

US chicken is chlorinated because America has no animal welfare laws where poultry is concerned. It has to be chlorinated because Salmonella and e. coli run rife The EU banned that practice in 1997 and as such the UK has among the highest welfare and standards in the world. 1/2

Here we go everyone. Have a wonderful time. Be happy.

Trump’s aides demanded that FIFA’s made-up “peace prize” awarded to him be literally as big as the World Cup. The White House gave FIFA a list of demands regarding the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize, which was invented by FIFA president Gianni Infantino to present to Trump.

How many ex Tory MPs have to join Reform before its supporters realise it’s the same corrupt pig in a different wig?

Apparently today’s complaint about our Chancellor is that the country is doing much better financially than the OBR thought it would? I’m no economist but that seems like a very peculiar criticism.

Fuckers.

URGENT: 6 WEEKS LEFT - We're 743 signatures away from forcing a Government response The UK Government is rolling out freeports and free zones nationwide with billions in taxpayer money, yet operates with an alarming lack of transparency. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

Prefab Sprout lied to us, they said the hot dogs and jumping frogs were in Albuquerque. I guess Portland didn’t scan?

Look who came with

Nigel Farage says his party is a break from the political establishment but it is funded by the super rich. Reform has an unusually high number of overseas backers with links to tax havens. Fossil fuel interests fund Reform, party will expand their trade.

If you're in London today, then there's plenty of opportunities to show Mr Trump that he's not welcome. If you miss the march, then come along to the rally in Parliament Square at 5 instead and make some noise.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality. We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

Black is White Right is Left Up is Down This is beyond believable.

The second Pillow Writers Anthology is now available on Amazon. All profits to @meactnet.bsky.social Congratulations to all involved.

Owners of 236,500 properties in England and Wales worth £64bn are hidden behind opaque trusts. Appeasement of the rich facilitates corruption, illicit financial flows. Compare this to how govts treat the poor. Soon their bank accounts will be snooped on.

The UK Government is poised to sign a £2billion deal with Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, Elbit systems. In a totally unrelated matter Elbit systems were the company named in the decision to proscribe Palastine Action as a terrorist group.

I often think I imagine that the conversations I have with my cats are two sided but yesterday I tried to talk to the neighbour’s cat. It was like being in a country where you can’t speak the language, we just ended up staring dumbly at one another. So yeah, I talk to my cats.

The moment Ridley started to sing I looked to see if the series was co-produced by the actor playing him and guess what… It’s never a good sign is it?

Politicians shouldn't be allowed air conditioning.

“People with an ME/CFS diagnosis have significant genetic differences in their DNA compared to the general population. “ www.decodeme.org.uk/initial-dna-...

This is why it wasn’t properly investigated isn’t it? Not because of the ethnicity of the offenders but because of the complicity of the police. “Women abused as children by Rotherham gangs say police also sexually assaulted them”.

Well that is a depressing turn of events

No Evidence. No Action.

Hi Nigel & Richard, any words of support for your friend Nathan Gill, former Reform UK leader in Wales, in court today, accused of accepting bribes to make statements in the European Parliament that would benefit Russia? That’s eight counts of bribery and one count of conspiracy to commit bribery.

Winter took me a bit by surprise this year; I didn’t quite have time to push the mower under the gazebo.

There are 4.5 million children living in poverty in the UK. Meanwhile, there are more British billionaires than ever before. I think we should tax the rich to lift children out of poverty. Why is that such a radical idea?

It’s 24 degrees. Why is the cat lying on me? Why am I letting her?

It’s over thirty degrees. I’ve carefully selected a silk slip to keep me cool. Why is the cat insisting on lying on me? Why am I letting her?

I turned the light off and the high pitched flying noise started. I shall be bitten to pieces by the morning.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

The L.A. protesters have really gone too far this time… 🌼

The Smiths song Ask, it was definitely ‘the bond the bond the bond that will bring us together’, not ‘the bomb’ Yes, I know about the Jarman video and I know what’s on the lyric sites but it was definitely ‘the bond’. Jarman got it wrong and The Smiths were too polite to correct him

Me, in my BlueSky bubble

Proud to announce that my town is the first to appoint an anti-mayor. Their role is primarily symbolic, attending the many closing down ceremonies, tying ribbons across the doors of failed businesses, ushering the final occupants out of social services premises, shutting the library down, etc.
