www.facebook.com/share/r/19Nn... Once again Starmer's Labour government betrays the people of Britain by its wilful neglect and underfunding of the NHS and the wider social care.

The reprehensible killing of 16 Jews on Bondi Beach is rightly condemned, but the media fail to acknowledge the fact that as many, or more, Arabs are killed by Israeli Jews on a daily basis in Gaza and the West Bank. Anyone brave enough to protest this slaughter is liable to be arrested.

Most modern humans supposedly carry some Neanderthal DNA. Judging by their appearance and behaviour, Reform supporters carry more than most.

I wonder if Polanski and others on the Left ideologically opposed to NATO will feel differently about it now that the USA appears to be leaving it.

Starmer is the worst, most catastrophic, leader of the Labour Party since Ramsay Macdonald. He really must go – and take that ghastly Labour Together cabal with him – or face the extinction of the Labour Party as a political force.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d... As unsavoury looking a bunch of thugs as you will see anywhere. Christians? I don’t think so.

I used to be an active member of the Labour Party, including a spell as CLP Chair, but thanks to Blair, and now Starmer and the Labour Together cabal, I have come to despise and loathe them all – with a few honourable exceptions.

With regard to 'Special Enterprise Zones' one expects to be betrayed and sold down the river by the Tory Scum, but when a supposedly Labour government continues the process without batting an eyelid that is unforgivable. Starmer is scum and must go along with all the Labour Together bastards.

‘Reforming’ or leaving the ECHR…A raising of false expectations, based on populist dishonesty. A demonisation of immigrants to mask the failures of government. Lies about sovereignty. A cynical refusal by politicians and media to tell us the truth. So very Brexit. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

Starmer must quit. So must the organ grinder, McSweeney, otherwise we’ll just end up with that oleaginous creep Sweeting and still be in a mess.

MEMO TO STARMER: HUMAN RIGHTS ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE. NOW FUCK OFF.

In the face of the new threat from both Russia and the US it is vital that Europe hangs together, whatever the cost. Yet that bloody fool Starmer tries to cling on to the myth of a 'special relationship' with America. He's destroyed the Labour Party and is in the process of destroying Britain.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... The housing/homelessness crisis is the direct result of political decisions. There must be a sustained effort to provide affordable accommodation at all levels from night shelters upwards. The old doss houses were pretty grim – but better than a shop doorway.

It seems that Europe was rather premature cashing in its post-Soviet ‘peace dividend’. The time has come to prioritise re-armament as we face a future of existential danger with a new NATO – minus the Americans – up against Putin and his stooge Trump, while the Chinese pursue their own interests.

If you remember that Trump is only in it for the money and the ego-massage – next year's G20 conference will be held at a Trump owned facility in Florida, for which he will charge top $ – it all begins to make sense. #CrookedTrump

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Even the trains have joined the flag-shaggers! The government say GBR will be "delivering for the public, not the shareholders" which is correct up to a point – but profits will still be extracted by the RoSCos, companies that actually own all the trains.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Wow. Agent Krasnov really delivering for the Kremlin. Bigly.

Trump wants to block US visas for anyone who has been involved in fact-checking, content moderation, or online child safeguarding as he obviously regards the truth was his main enemy. But blocking anyone who has tried to stop online sexual abuse of children is a bit of a giveaway. #Epstein

www.facebook.com/reel/1555993... The Public Fraud Initiative is still bleeding the NHS dry – and now those idiots Sweeting and Starmer want to land us with a whole lot more.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... It's only a matter of time before apple crumble and custard is proscribed by this idiot government as a terror weapon, possession of which can get you arrested and banged up for 10 years.

Starmer rules out any thought of the UK (re)joining the EU Customs Union, much to the dismay and anger of most people in this land. Why? We all know he is politically inept, but is there also some darker, corrupter, reason? Either way he has to go.

Farage, under attack for his racist behaviour when at Dulwich College, is now threatening to boycott the BBC. Oh, yes please. Please do the country a favour and refuse to appear on any BBC programme.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... If Farage was to sack every RefUK councillor or MP who was demonstrably racist there’d be no-one left. He’d even have to sack himself.

The United States joined 90 other countries at the United Nations on Wednesday to demand Russia "ensure the immediate, safe and unconditional return of all Ukrainian children who have been forcibly transferred or deported" and urge Moscow to stop the practice. www.reuters.com/world/us-bac...

www.theguardian.com/business/202... At last, a glimmer of common sense from the ORR, however grudgingly conceded. The problem is that the regulator is so obsessed with punctuality they'd rather cancel trains than risk late running . Maybe they should cancel all trains and guarantee 100% reliability

Idiot Tories and their media friends are claiming that Reeves overstated the problems with the UK economy before the budget; in the aftermath of 14 years of Tory misrule it's virtually impossible to overstate the dire condition of UK PLC. Reeves can just be criticised for doing far too little.

The Tories, and their media foghorns, are going apeshit about whether there is or isn't a fiscal 'black hole' and calling for Reeves to resign. Bollocks. Ignoring technicalities, there is still a massive shortfall in money going to the public sector thanks to 14 years of Tory austerity.

It seems that Sweeting is planning to use PFI 2.0 to finance his new neighbourhood health centres. As we all know PFI really means Public Fraud Initiative as we are still having to pay for the previous round. Under PFI 1.0 a hospital that cost two hundred million to build has cost the NHS billions.

The gutter press is spewing out Tory lies about the state of the economy when we all know they totally fucked it up during their 14 years in power; it'll take much more than £30bn to fix the damage – and (memo to Reeves) the filthy rich must pay for it. Easier said than done of course...

Remember when he mocked everyone else for being “low energy”? Look at him now. Nodding off, slurring, and cutting his days short because he cannot keep up. The myth of unstoppable Trump is long gone.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population. How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich? They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

Reeves has delivered her budget and as usual with this government it's too little, too late. The little is mostly welcome, but she needed to go so much further if she was to have any hope of salvaging this useless government – she needs to squeeze the rich much harder.

WTAF?

The new BBC series 'Civilisations: Rise & Fall started with the lead up to the sack of Rome in 410CE. The administration of the Empire was hollowed out financially, all the wealth was being hoarded by the super-rich while the common people suffered. Sound familiar?

The solution to overcrowded NHS hospitals according to think-tank Re:State – make them smaller. Clearly a lot more thinking is required.

BBC bias? It is, and always has been, blatantly biased in favour of the Establishment, allowing the occasional lefty comedy/satire show as a kind of mask. Calls for right wing comedy shows "to provide balance" falter on the grounds that they are just not funny.

The proposed Ukraine cease-fire shows just how good an investment Trump was for the Kremlin. A real asset.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... Case is not wrong. We've seen Centrist parties all over the world failing because they represent continuity – aka the same old shit. Oddly they are often replaced by Right wing parties that are guaranteed to make things worse. Only the Left wants to improve things

www.theguardian.com/environment/... I guess you have to take Global Warming seriously when the COP30 venue catches fire.

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...

Farage is just a fascist gadfly. I wouldn't trust to run a whelk stall.
