Blair, stooge of the US.

A Labour-linked lobbying firm that has paid to sponsor the party’s conference has been given access to a briefing on Sir Keir Starmer’s crunch keynote speech, The i Paper can reveal ➡# Read more: trib.al/vnVw8yB

There's something about Andy Burnham's doe-eyed, faux naivety that reminds me of Princess Di and so, even though it's late on a Friday afternoon, I created this for your enjoyment. (instant block for anyone who suggests I just took a pic of George Michael from Google Images)

If the UK govt wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership. High price of energy and water fuels inflation, poverty, deplietes people's purchasing power Industries like water, energy have extracted dividends, neglected investment.

Earlier this week Reform UK leader Nigel Farage appeared to claim that migrants are eating swans in Royal Parks, as well as carp from ponds. But is there any evidence to support what he said? We’ve taken a look 🔍

www.desmog.com/2024/06/26/m... Natural resources investor David Lilley donated £100,000 to Reform on 10 June – a week after Farage announced that he was returning as the party’s leader. Lilley’s donation was the third largest to Reform during the campaign so far. Looking #SmashReform

www.thenational.scot/news/2512038... The LibDems calculated that Reform have sent two personalised letters to each of the 1.9 million people registered as postal voters for the English local elections next month, which they estimated would cost around £2.1m. We're in the money/Rubles #smashreform

None of this would surprise me 🙃

I wonder whether this is what the reference to 'national security' means in the press release for Starmer's 'new strategic partnership' with Palantir, released a week ago... Terrible idea either way. #IDCards

The comedy of errors.

Quisling Qunt Farige is a threat to national security. Lock it up.

The far right are not defending women and children.

Accepting bribes from Putin's agents, to make pro-Russian statements in the European Parliament 🤮 And just remind me... Which other figure in Reform named Vladimir Putin when asked which political leader he most admired? Mark you, that was before Trump got re-elected. share.google/zOx2XCK3QuTN...

So how deep is the Russian connection with Reform? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

I cannot wait to see Reform comment about this on their hourly slot they have in the media. I’m sure they have a terribly good excuse just waiting to go here. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Why would anyone vote for Reform? Nigel Farage wants lower taxes for the rich while cutting schools, the NHS, housing and pensions. Just like Trump's tax cuts in the USA, ordinary people would lose out while the wealthy get richer. Reform is not for you. It's a party for the rich.

The consequences of Farag'e tax cuts are obvious.  Lower taxes would inevitably mean fewer services in the UK economy. Schools, the NHS, housing, and much more would be cut back. The rich would keep their wealth, and the poorer would pay the price

But hey, it’s a digital age, so it would make MY life simpler and I could get my Radiohead tickets quicker 🤪

#DigitalIDs yes or no? the-jeremy-corbyn-effect.weebly.com/site-blog/pa... I wonder if there will be perks that initially persuade people #BigBrother is here

I for one don’t want Peter Thiel and Palantir having my data so I signed this petition. #DigitalIDCards petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Thought for the day: Imagine a land where it's compulsory to carry a tracking device that a government led by Farage & Co has access to 24 hours a day & a special police force full of the EDL, Combat 88 & other far RW thugs to target those who protest against Farage. Digital IDs the fascists friend.

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.

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?

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.

I'm guessing the Refukkers will, in future, accept the digital ID card as valid for allowing entry to their Conferences... 🤔

Just listening to Sadiq Khan on LBC and it seems the marchers included European RW extremist groups who are mates of toxic tommy. Waving flags of St George no doubt and complaining about foreigners. Shame on the British media for not reporting this on the day www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

“Sharia courts” are not legally binding in the UK. They only carry weight if both disputed parties *choose* to follow their judgement. It’s like a friend informally mediating a dispute. This needs to be stated in such debates because this inflammatory rhetoric needs to be brought back to reality.

Richard Tice, "We've already got 80 sharia courts in the UK" Billy Bragg, "There are also Jewish courts as well, thats part of their religion. We as a tolerant nation accept that" "To demonise, particularly the Muslims, is the sort of thing we worry about Reform UK"

Russian asset Nigel Farage must be a concern for MI6. I wouldn’t mind betting he’s left a long trail of bribery, corruption, fag ash and halitosis. His time in the dock is coming. #traitorcunt

Twisted fire starter, Bigoted hate inciter.

Shit hits the fan and sprays everyone within a 700 mile radius, we forget. I’m still pissed that a serving MP missed the opening of the parliament to travel to a foreign country, lie to their congress and then ask them to sanction the country he’s supposed to serve. It’s a traitor. #DontForget

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

The purpose of a disaster capitalist is to crash the economy and bet against the pound. So much for patriotism 🤷🏻‍♂️. Mogg’s father wrote the book. Farage has always been in the thick of it. It’s treasonous.

Tetchy twat Tice is caught so often for telling porkies, it’s overlooked by the ReFUK supporters.

Billy Bragg points out to Reform UK ‘patriot’ Richard Tice that his flag’s upside down. 🇬🇧😂🤦🏽‍♂️ #bbcqt

Didn’t take long. Farage showing us who and what he really is.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Friends have been RAGING about this! Apparently- it’s being funded by Palantir + BlackRock - that way they can have our data! From being neutral about this,I’m now disgusted. I understand you’re against this too @richardburgon.bsky.social You’re not alone 🤬

Millions of us are against it , bring London to a standstill until he changes his mind or he's outed out of office .

Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

It's not just the BBC which is no longer impartial.

The Tory supporting and owned media then created hysteria around the threat of brown men, knife crime in London, although it's much higher in parts of the northeast. To keep people safe, we are now told we now need government ID brought in by Labour. Do you feel like you've been had? 2/2

Once again the British people are being played. Labour the conservatives or governments and politicians work in symbiosis with one another. The Tories manufactured the small boats crisis by closing all legal routes, they ensured their donors, got all the contracts to house refugees 1/2
