Important to remember that on top of the fascism and incompetence, everybody in the Trump admin is also stealing everything they can as quickly as possible.

Jeffrey Epstein apparently coached right-wing influencer Steve Bannon through a media campaign to defend Donald Trump and his agenda during his first term in office, according to newly revealed communications.

So it turns out the dodgy "internal"report from a right-wing PR guy, appointed by a Tory spin doctor, appointed to the BBC by Boris Johnson; itself misquoted Donald Trump's Jan 6th speech - leaving out the bad stuff 🤪 What lessons do we draw from that? 🤷‍♂️ bsky.app/profile/mart...

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms: ✅He personally directs criminal investigations. ✅He is targeting opponents. ✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents. Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

Jim Ryan wrote a letter to UVA detailing his "resignation" and I'm gonna get some fresh tea before I read it because I feel pretty certain I'm gonna be filled with righteous anger by the end I'll do a thread but here's the full letter provided by the chronicle www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Blimey. Major new split in Your Party. Blackburn MP Adnan Hussain -who is secretary of the Your Party company - says he's quitting due to "persistent infighting, factional competition, and a struggle for power, position and influence rather than a shared commitment to the common good."

Brexiters - Project fear they said We don’t mind being poorer they said Now they blame migrants and asylum seekers for the mess they made The ‘Brexit effect’ is only getting worse

This is true, although it's not the only reason for wanting the Labour Gov to succeed. The last decade and a half showed that the Tory/right wing philosophy isn't best for the people or the country in the modern world. And Labour is already delivering. fullfact.org/government-t...

'Don't tell me you don't want to be out on strike - because that is exactly where you are. Own it.' As resident doctors walk out again, Wes Streeting calls out the 'reprehensible and cartel-like behaviour' of their union.

The 2026 Nobel Peace Prize is in the bag!!!!

Ken Clarke humiliates Danny Kruger's new party, Reform UK on #BBCQT "I live in a county with a Reform UK council" "Most of them had no idea what the country council did" "They fought on the promise of reducing waste and council tax" "And they just put up the council tax by the max"

NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document— "I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump. Not one decent cell in his body." - Jeffrey Epstein

Farage earns more than any other MP for NOT being an MP. He says it’s “obviously sad” that part of his constituency is the most deprived area in England. But everything he’s ever done, said and wanted has made sure of it. This is the whole country if he gets into power. (Private Eye)

NEW: The biggest union in the BBC, Bectu, has written to culture secretary Lisa Nandy and BBC chair Samir Shah, demanding the removal of Robbie Gibb from the BBC Board. They say Gibb, a political appointee, is a “direct block to the BBC maintaining its chartered objective of independence”.

And god help us all it we end up with a Farage led Government, all the good things this Government is doing will be wiped out in months. Goodbye free breakfast clubs, free childcare hours, goodbye Employment Rights bill, Renters Rights bill, Better Start centres etc etc etc.

No mention of 30hrs free childcare, that’s a massive bonus for young families. We’ve just had our first grandchild and daughter will be returning to work next September, the nursery gave them a price list, before 30hrs introduced, cost was £1370pm after is £895. It’s still a lot but a big saving.

What other positives would you add to this list of Labour achievements?

From our Peru correspondent.

The campaign group, Patriotic Millionaires says Rachel Reeves could generate up to £36 billion annually through reforms to capital gains tax and the introduction of a new wealth tax. “It’s time for the wealthiest – people like us – to pay a fairer share." #Budget2025 #TaxTheRich #WealthTaxNow

"Also amazing are pancakes, folks. A new word nobody has ever heard. I came up with it. They're like cakes but from a pan. I call them pancakes. Christians too. Adopting to pancakes. Very big stuff. Ballroom. Huge. And some say flarpnozzle bing. Bingidy bangidy. So sad. Flurp."

You need a case for independence that shows it would be better than what we've got. If you can produce that you've got a chance. If you can't, what's the point?

Trump approval takes worst nose-dive yet with staggering losses among key groups

Important to remember!!! 👇👇

He's in the files, hence his reluctance to release them.

NEWS: White House is preparing for at least 100 Republicans, possibly more, to break from Trump and vote to release the Epstein files when the vote happens next week.

I’m amused that many complain about people on SNAP but then ignore the fact that U.S. tax payers built Elon Musk’s wealth by essentially giving $7,500 to everyone who bought a Tesla. He is literally America’s biggest welfare queen.

These unnamed sources articles are a scourge, I won't read any of them anymore, if we don't know who's behind the story we can't know their agenda.

David Cameron’s failed Police & Crime Commissioner system is being scrapped 12 years of wasted money, low turnout & zero accountability, a political gimmick that didn’t make our streets safer Labour’s putting that £100 million back where it belongs: into frontline policing & communities #Labour

Hauliers tell a Stormont committee it's "easier" to move goods from GB to Northern Ireland by travelling through the Republic of Ireland. Bureaucracy under NI's post-Brexit Windsor Framework deal is "quite horrendous", MLAs were told. 📰 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Eight Senators snuck in a MILLION-DOLLAR PAYOUT for themselves for being investigated for their possible involvement in the January 6th insurrection. There is no money for healthcare, but there is money for a payout to Senators? This is fucken 🐂 💩!

A national campaign calling for higher taxes on Britain’s wealthiest individuals arrived in Newcastle this week, with the Patriotic Millionaires UK bus pulling up on Market Street in steady rain emblazoned with the message: “Tax us, the super-rich.” 👏👏👏

The problem after 14 years of damage wreaked by the Tories is that we now have a f***ed up BBC and a f***ed up NHS. But, remember, the f***ing up has come from outside. It is not intrinsic We desperately need a properly functioning BBC and properly functioning NHS DEFEND THEM!

Not a chance. Dotty McB is making sure this comes after so all the dirty secrets that will damage the SNP are kept from view until it’s too late.

Irony: People saying the BBC is biased towards the left when a big part of why they’ve all been radicalised to vote Tory and Reform is BECAUSE of (yes you guessed it) the BBC’s right wing bias. Couldn’t make it up. Thicker than a submarine door.

Via #OccupyDemocrats on FB Let us know when you see it 🤣😭 (Took me 3 seconds)

Any chance we'll see this trial before the Scottish Parliament elections next year? www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic... A reminder that Operation Branchform has been going on since July 2021. If we don't have a trial soon it will be a full 5 years and no outcome.
