This is a true statement and we’ve got to get the vote out to stop this madness.

Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98% Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4% Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5% Just thought I should point that out.

Politicians endlessly blame immigration for their own failures. So, when immigration is reduced, their ‘success’ isn’t recognised. No one’s life has particularly improved. Because no one’s life was ever going to improve by reducing immigration. Because our problems were never caused by immigration.

I've got some good news.

Whoever is in charge, Labour needs a new immigration strategy. Me in @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/pol...

And they still whine about Scotland capping prices on essential goods.

Ukraine isn't subjugated. Its government still stands. Its military is stronger than before. NATO expanded with Finland & Sweden joining. And Russia has paid an enormous price in casualties & economic strain. After four years, Putin is further from his goals—not closer.

Another one bites the dust.

Our NHS nurses give everything to save lives. Facing racist abuse in return is not part of the job. Anyone who cares for Londoners deserves dignity and respect at work, and anything less diminishes us all as a city and society.

1/ A Russian State Duma deputy just admitted something the Kremlin has tried to hide for years: Russia cannot sustain a long war 40% of the federal budget now goes to war and security. Not growth Not healthcare. Not infrastructure War is eating the state alive "https://t.me/agentstvonews/15419"

Very strange new trend is happening at my office. People putting names on food in the company fridge. Today, I had a tuna sandwich called Steve.

I wonder what it is that frightens Reform about being held to account by the local press.

Doolally Donnie is a bit miffed, it seems. Always the victim.

FFS ..

This is a reminder of what politics is really about. A Labour government delivering for working people and making sure all of our children get the best start in life.

Yesterday Far Right leader Tommy Robinson and his followers openly called for Islam to be removed from the UK and us Muslims to be remigrated. If he had said this about Jews, quite rightly, there would be a national response. But it has been eerily quiet today.

Prejudice toward one community is prejudice towards us all.

Takes a special kind of person to get triggered by images of Mo Farah, Jess Ennis, Jude Bellingham & George Michael amongst other national heroes. Absolute state of these thick ***ts

Let it be clear: you are wanted here.

She lives with it every day. This man was 50-60 years old. Wrestling a 13 year old is a crime.

I rarely say “major breaking” and rarely put out these video hits, but this is pretty major.

...shorter, flexible, bite-sized courses, known as “modules” for the first time ever! The first 130 unis & colleges approved to offer these courses have been approved today. Brilliant work Labour! 2/2 www.gov.uk/government/n...

This illustrates the influence of Trump's violent, racist policies on the UK - orchestrated by those who most likely support Reform.

So refreshing to see a lawmaker openly advocating for a wealth tax. But voters have to wake up, just like Manchester electing MP Hannah Spencer or NYC electing Mayor Zohran Mamdani on a tax-the-rich platform. If we want to fix our democracies, people must demand this. #WealthTax #UK #USA

Brilliant .. 👇👇👇

CALL TO ACTION!!! Please support the decent journalists actually holding Farage to account. Please share far and wide! 👊💥👍

It was literally the first thing I saw when I woke up this morning because the BBC sent it as a notification

🗽Frida Ghitis Putin is getting very scared: Hiding in bunkers, fearing assassination, as his Ukraine war goes badly and security services grow restless. fridainsight.substack.com/p/why-putin-...

So now we know how the money is being wasted ... Vote Reform, get resignations.

A huge announcement in the King's Speech - what a pity it’s getting little media attention due to all the reporting on a possible leadership challenge. The government have pledged to introduce a new bill to abolish right-to-buy for new social homes.

@david-sword.bsky.social There’s also this Reform charmer:

@david-sword.bsky.social Also this (may duplicate the overall list I previously tagged you with, if so, apologies):

Holy sh*t! I grew up in Sheldon. And, this guy is 56!! Hate ages people rapidly.

A big and bold initiative that Labour could adopt?

A big and bold initiative the Labour might want to

It seems very likely that the Reform rabble itself will do the necessary to discredit itself and destroy any future electoral prospects. This had already started before the elections. Politics by the time of the next election might look very different. Labour party, think on.

The ECHR has protected British people from abuses of power by its own government. Nigel Farage wants us to leave it. Please think about that youtu.be/Fhrb5Z7ScME?...

Common sense is being superseded by stupid ego-vanity projects. If Starmer goes then every MP who has joined up in this stampede is personally responsible for his replacement, whoever that ends up being. One thing is for sure though...Trump, Putin and Farage will be delighted. Your choice.....

Final post for tonight: Any Labour member or MP or supporter calling for Starmer to resign is not putting country first. It is an identical copy of the Tory playbook. Please stop it. How can someone like Starmer suffer the same fate as someone like Johnson or Truss? It doesn't make sense.

Preet Kaur Gill MP: ‘To my Labour colleagues we criticised the Tories for chaos and division and we cannot now inflict the same on the country ourselves. People are angry and hurt, yes. But turning inwards helps nobody. We have a King’s Speech in two days. Calm down, unite, and get on with the job.’

There is a lot of pandemic risk out there and a lot we could and should be doing to mitigate it but years after COVID struck we’ve done basically nothing to set ourselves up for success. www.slowboring.com/p/hantavirus...

Catherine West is following the Tory rule book for destabilising their party by sponsoring endless speculation over its leadership. Does she really want to end up some way down the line with someone like Badenoch as a last resort "leader"?

The truth is still out there...

Portsmouth’s shopping areas should not be overrun by fake shops and for criminal activity. Instead, they should be safe, vibrant places for families and communities. That is why I have launched my “Stop Dodgy Shops” campaign👇🏻 www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/crime/d...

As far as I can ascertain, the Refukkers now have about 11% of all Council seats - and just over 1% of seats in the House of Commons. They only sound like the party of next Govt because the media go along with their propaganda, trying to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
