This is how the corruption starts... so using what should have been government tax income to fund Reform UK

Wes Streeting supports welfare cuts to fund defence. He lets private equity make billions from outsourcing NHS, social care. Silence on corporate welfare spending. Since 2010 HMRC failed to collect £500bn in taxes. Capital gains and dividends taxed at lower rates than wages.

😾🇬🇧😾🇬🇧😾🇬🇧😾🇬🇧😾 TWO things i found on Threads that made me stop and think. 1. Confirmation that the media is biased against Labour and are working actively to bring it and SKS down 2. No surprise. Now imagine how Farage, the media darling, or any of his scummy crew would fare.

Hungary, welcome back 🇭🇺🇪🇺 This is a turning point for Europe. The times of autocratic backsliding must be over. We look to a brighter and united future. Defending rule of law, freedom and democracy. Tonight, we celebrate in the streets of Budapest.

This is key to political understanding: austerity causes a rise in support for the far right. BTW, austerity is *not over*, unless you accept the meaningless official definition. A meaningful definition is "a decline in public services caused by a shortfall in funding". catherinedevries.eu/NHS.pdf

Reform UK Nottinghamshire County Council FOI shows the total cost of providing refreshments, biscuits, and cakes that are applicable to the Reform UK group from May 2025 to 31 March 2026 is £5,357.92. Micky the Biccy.

Reform UK Councillors Gone: Updated Ewen Sinclair has resigned due to code of conduct breaches. ➡️ Kicked Out Brian Black Oliver Bradshaw Paul Thomas Bob Ford Bill Barratt Ed Hill James Regan Mark Broadhurst Paul Bean Adam Smith Daniel Taylor John Allen Nicole Brooke

The far right pretending it’s the voice of the “ordinary people,” yet every policy they push protects wealth, punishes vulnerability, and sells fear as identity. #Antifascism

It would be catastrophically unwise for the rest of NATO to treat the US as a meaningful collective security partner while the Trump administration is in office. It's a nightmare scenario for Europe but it's where we are, as Europeans have increasingly recognised.

oopsies

Reform UK's poll score is now heading downwards very quickly. Turns out that being really unpleasant, remaining disorganised, having loads of skeletons in their closet, being reliant on a very unpopular leader and hating almost everything the public thinks doesn't work for long. Who knew eh.

He’s Reform UK’s “chief of policy”. He wants to ban abortion in the UK even in cases of r**e or incest. ..oh, and the BBC still put him on screen.

Richard Tice dodged £600,000 in Corporation Tax by registering his UK based Quidnet Capital Real Estate Firm in a trust. This is who Reform are, tax dodging scum, who can't wait to change the rules so they can all be billionaires and you can have nothing.

So sad what Trump has done to the USA

AMERICANS STILL HAVE NO IDEA what an insidious totalitarian tyrannical mass surveillance prison police state now being implemented by the illegitimate Putin/Trump/Miller//GOP/Project 2025 criminal corporate fascists. Just like shit-hole Russia, N Korea, NAZI Germany. RESIST PUTIN/TRUMP’S FASCISM!

If you have time to read only the first paragraph of this wise and thoughtful cry from the heart, please do. I think, @acgrayling.bsky.social , you speak for many of us: thank you. open.substack.com/pub/acgrayli...

UK used to be in the top seat at the top table in the EU...

Supertweet

That'd be Trump's buddy Putin. Should've stuck with Europe

If it’s true Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick told a business audience last night that renewable companies are "screwed" if Reform get in, it tells you everything about their readiness to inflict national self-harm in pursuit of ideological war on climate action.

Carte blanche to do anything, to anyone 😱 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave. No different to the old BNP or National Front voters. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Right now UK is pretty much running the electrical grid on renewables and Nuclear.

Canada is the first non-European country to be granted membership in SAFE. This is unlocking new export markets abroad for producers across Canada’s defence industry and better equipping our military with the resources they need.

🚨🚨 Major irony warning: The UK decision to depart from the EU in the "hard" way opting for the TCA was the most severe barrier to EU trade that could be imposed. Now live with it or renegotiate the basic terms of this framework. #brexit www.ft.com/content/05e0...

Nurul Amin Shah Alam was a blind refugee, unable to speak English. DHS improperly detained-but finally released him Instead of bringing him home, they dropped him miles away-without regard to his disability or notifying his family Unable to find his way, he died on the streets of Buffalo Alone

So another crap Tory policy

Part of a $45 billion expansion of detention centres Looking more and more like 1940s Germany

I'm sure y'all have already seen this, but here it is again. Some countries, at least, are doing this right. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Now tell me why senate republican absolutely would say this .

That's a lot of people being locked up 😱

As an American now in EU, have to say y’all sound so much like 🇺🇸 did just before Nov 2024. Putin is thrilled about your blaming, infighting & lack of unity. So is Trump. Farage wants what Trump wants - to destroy democracy, the UK economy & European unity. Stunned that more 🇬🇧 don’t see it.

"(the victim) had asked her father during the Trump row: "How would you feel if I was the girl in that situation and I'd been sexually assaulted?" Harrison replied that he had two other daughters who lived with him so it would not upset him that much" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I always believed the purpose of Brexit was to destroy the ability of nation states to take on spiv capitalism. I never expected to see actual evidence of it.

Dumbing down of America ☹️

Zack Polanski, "Palantir.. £240 million contract last month" "That was lobbied by Global Counsel which is Peter Mandelson's lobbying group" "The idea that a defence company from the US has its fingerprints all over our healthcare system, alongside Peter Mandelson"

Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah?

He came to this conclusion after just one meeting with Trump

Elon Musk is a white supremacist. Case closed.

Water bills up again. The Green Party will lower bills by ending the privatised water company rip off. Water must be taken into public ownership now.

Unearthed investigated anti-ULEZ groups. “Of the 82 admins across the groups, 46 have clear links to the Conservative Party, including councillors, local party officials, campaign managers and in one case a mayor.” unearthed.greenpeace.org/2024/04/27/c...

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator. The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him. It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

UK govt accused of ignoring £2bn car finance tax loophole. Banks can't treat compensation as tax deductible expense. But motor finance divisions are registered as “non-bank entities". So they sidestep the rules, dodge tax. Govt can change the law. Will it upset its corporate backers?

Ed Davey, "With Trump in the White House, the US is no longer a reliable ally" "We have to look at alternative coalitions" "Customs Union with the EU" "How did we get Trump to back down on Greenland? It wasn't the UK, it was the EU threatening retaliatory tariffs"

Nothing is surprising in Trump's USA ☹️

Once again after an hour long racist rant full of lies by the US president the Times writes another of its “ say what you like about Trump but…’ editorials. If the paper ever had a moral compass it’s lost it
