UK banks, building societies required to get savers NI number, make it easier for HMRC to tax. Won't apply to the same to wealthy receiving income from dividends, share buybacks, bonds, stock market gambles, assets stashed offshore. State surveillance of low/middle income people, not the rich.

Born #OTD 1945 Christian Rodska was born in Cullercoats.(born Christian Rodskjaer). Died last year sadly.

This is utterly heartbreaking. People like Rylan, the media and many politicians need to stop the hate and lies! This is the lady who was racially abused by the old couple at the weekend.

#OTD 1965 Boxer Joe Louis made his British Cabaret singing debut, at the La Dolce Vita club in Newcastle Upon Tyne . Joe had flown over from the US for the four day engagement. Thank you Geordie Diary on Facebook :-)

Of course the Queen was Remain. You don’t sustain a hereditary monarchy by randomly pulling pins out of grenades for the lols at the urging of a cluster of snake oil chancers.

José Maria de Eça de Queiroz didn't half look like Eric Sykes.

pretty wild how so many dads with a massive DVD collection of WWII movies somehow managed to miss the entire point

#OTD 14/08 1984 JB Priestley died. As a young soldier in the Duke of Wellington's Regt. He was billeted in Tynemouth Plaza in late 1915.

Noticing a pattern here.

#OTD 30/07/1947 Two British soldiers were murdered and their bodies booby trapped

Is this blue sky message asking me to verify my age for real or a scam?

Nationalisation is possible - Fergal Sharkey explains how.

Thames water is effectively bankrupt. Don't bail it out with public money. Let it go to the wall. The shareholders and bondholders will take a big hit for loading it with debt and then the public can buy the assets on the cheap. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Dr Assal Rad— "A ban on entering the sea… the cruelty really is the only point."

Toxic Pfas above proposed safety limits in almost all English waters tested Exclusive: 110 of 117 bodies of water tested by Environment Agency would fail standards, with levels in fish 322 times the planned limit

The more we discover, the worse it gets. Now we learn the water companies wrote the guidance ensuring sewage sludge is not tested for the vast majority of contaminants before being spread on farmland. They gave themselves a free licence to dump hazardous waste. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

What was it Churchill said about history?

MSM constantly champion Reform yet when dirt comes out an MP MSM drop it👇🏼 Besides a woman beating past & alleged loan fraud, he claimed to work at Lehman Bros after it went bust❌ He claimed to be a high roller banker but worked in admin❌ That he took a pay cut as an MP but got a £30/40K pay rise❌🤥

'"On Saturday Labour’s Foreign Secretary David Lammy went to Syria and met Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, leader of Syria’s branch of Al-Qaida Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and self imposed leader of Syria. David Lammy said in a statement. “It is in our interests to support the new government."'

There's no place for institutional finance in rental markets. It's a predatory extraction machine that robs the poor and middle. But one thing I'd add: we should stop calling these people "investors". They don't "invest". They buy up and milk existing assets. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Rip off WM rats.

1958 Sparkie the budgie from Forest Hall won the BBC talking bird competition today. He could speak 583 words and eight complete nursery rhymes and became a national celebrity selling 20,000 records.

And on it goes. Israeli politicians using UK media to stoke up outrage around Bob Vylan & Kneecap must be laughing their heads off at how easy it all is. I think this brings the Palestinian death toll *since the Glastonbury performance* in to triple figures. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

Its worth noting that in Britain, Mamdani would have thrown out of the Labour Party by a small room full LinkIn weirdos and then replaced by a former private healthcare lobbyist who would go on to lose by 5,000 votes to a Reform candidate who was a convinced sex offender.
