WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The data shows Brexit was a massive mistake and badly hurt the economy. We're all paying for it. It was Nigel Farage who sold the lies that it would make life better. How can anyone still listen to him about anything?

In two words. Margaret Thatcher.

Oh look - renewables are good for the planet and even better for consumers!👇

Left wing firebrand Theresa May has described Kemi Badenoch's decision to repeal the Climate Change Act as a "catastrophic mistake" May is correct.

In Menorca on holiday, next balcony along 2 British women in their 70s are playing a pro Charlie Kirk video bemoaning the “radical left”. How on earth does this poison have such a far reach?? #regulatethemedia #factcheck #hackedoff

We may speak the same language with the US but we have little else in common. The future of the UK lies with our friends and neighbours in the EU. Anyone who wants a piece of the dystopian action from across the Atlantic is certifiable.

Hearing Starmer's interview reminds me of the sheer amount of detail req'd to deal with the migrant situ. And yet you have wealthy British journalists pushing a man they know has no grasp of detail, into No. 10. And it's the THIRD time they'll have done it. The media is the problem. #BBCLauraK

Trying to catch Starmer out on buying a field when there were hardly any questions about Farage’s Clacton house is quite the irony #bbclaurak

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Keir Starmer should be old enough to remember that we didn't use to call them patriots, we called them football hooligans.

Led By Donkeys have got Fartrage's number.

EXCLUSIVE: Reform UK’s deputy leader Richard Tice co-owns a second home purchased for £4 million in 2013, Byline Times can reveal – despite attacking Angela Rayner for supposedly owning a “property mountain” bylinetimes.com/2025/09/05/r...

Just like when Boris Johnson paid for a £3,800,000 house with cash, the newshounds at The Mail and Express will conveniently lose their sense of smell.

All well and good but why aren’t the media, & people generally,shouting from the rooftops about why he’s in the UD and not serving his constituents her in the UK!! #farage #jamieraskin

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

Raskin: "The dictators of the world have got nothing to fear from this hearing. Republicans called it to attack our democratic allies in Europe. The star witness is not a human rights leader like Navalny, but a far-right pro-Putin politician who leads the UK Reform Party."

The party on the left has 72 MPs - more than any liberal party has had for 100yrs. party on right has been around a tiny fraction of that time & has just 4 seats. Greens also have 4 - more than ever 72 v 4 v 4 Demand fairer coverage now Sign and pass on.. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.

🤬 Woman who admitted incitement to violence and racism on Social Media and in Court was jailed for 2.5 years. Gets released early and British TV and media repeating what she said originally, give her prime spot on TV. Britain wonders why they have a problem which every day is getting more extreme?

This what the BBC wrote under the Tories in 2017 “UK economy grew by 0.3% between April and June, according to Office for National Statistics” This is with growth figures today. “UK economic growth slowed between April and June to 0.3%, official figures show” It’s no coincidence.

'Honest Bob' Jenrick, a politician obviously & deliberately embracing xenophobia, does some weapons grade xenophobia & the BBC *apologises* for a Thought For The Day contributor calling it xenophobic. Licence fee payers need to know who makes these decisions & why. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Excellent news coverage of the current farce that is CHC reviews and funding. An awful, stressful process for families/carers. #bbclooknorth #CHC #beacon

A Tory party led by Ted Heath or John Major would be piling into Reform and Farage not seeking agreement. It's also time for Labour to get on the front foot and expose the charlatan Farage. He is a threat who needs to be destroyed.

Dear God, America, what on earth did you do, electing that absolute eejit? Zelensky has more honour and bravery in his little toe. #Alaska #Russia #Putin #TheOrangeMadman

Urged by who? Nigel Farage? The dickhead who created the problem in the first place with his Brexit shitshow, despite being told that this is exactly what would happen? Fuck right off.

“The spectacle of politicians knowingly peddling inflammatory narratives is nauseating – and… they are starting to look like desperate people throwing matches on kindling that refuses to ignite. That is a remarkable way for self-styled patriots to behave” Indeed. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

With Jacob’s “exacting” personality is he really the kind of person who would be willing to rent a house with others?! #TheArchers

I always enjoy reading the TripAdvisor London Forum because I'm fascinated to see what foreign tourists expect, what they ask about and what surprises them. I thought this post from someone from Texas was a really lovely and cheering comment about riding the tube late at night

Only watching to make sure Greg’s not wearing pants #Masterchef

Twenty seven people who donated £50m in total to the last Tory government were given seats in House of Lords. And some still argue against an elected second chamber.

People are appallingly ignorant about immigration. They don't understand basic things about "net immigration statistics" and have a completely warped sense of what is going on. It is up to the government and the media to educate, but both are too busy batting their eyes at Nigel Farage's voters.

kennedy is going to kill a lot of people

What’s Bradley Walsh doing on the cover of a SA tabloid? #thechase #bradleywalsh #bolsonaro #verybritishproblems

"As the table shows, the answer is, mostly to the richest. The people in the top decile receive 40% of all the pension relief, a third of the relief on the sale of domestic properties, and half of the ISA relief."

Repeat after me “BRAD IS TOO GOOD FOR AMBRIDGE.” He would have benefited so much from going to Uni. #TheArchers

Only 29% would back Brexit now

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is under investigation by the parliamentary standards watchdog for a potential breach of MPs' rules on financial interests www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I remember when this happened.
