The upcoming budget appears to have cuts to Public Spending and to Benefits. But there is loads of money available from getting rid of Brexit or taxing the rich instead. RT if you want to tax the rich, and Like if you want to get rid of Brexit.

Please share. 🙏🏻

There’s a “green shoots” movement underway springing up from the forest fire left by the billionaire classes in main stream media & social media. Fittingly, as Spring beckons, we can see the growth in outlets like 🦋 and Bylines. Choose what you fertilise and nurture, for that’s what will flourish

Sell your Tesla. ❌ Sell your Cybertruck. ❌ Get off Twitter. ❌ Don’t sign up for Starlink. ❌ Bankrupt him. It will take while but it’s possible. ✊🏻 #resist

You might expect that one of the world's biggest media organisations admitting to illegal practices in accessing private information about a member of the royal family and a government minister would be front page news across the board, but apparently not.

📣 Is the BBC now the official mouthpiece for Reform? A study of the BBC’s Question Time has raised concerns about representation and political impartiality By Tony Burke

It's been a terrible week. A terrible, terrible week. The worst people on earth are full of energy and vigour, the best are defined by anxiety and self-doubt. Here are three simple rules to surviving the next four years, because by God we'll need them iandunt.substack.com/p/a-little-b...

Which means they were inefficient, avoidably brutal AND more expensive. As was predicted.

The Brexit Curse British food exports to EU ‘have fallen £3bn a year since Brexit’. Border checks, lower standards on pesticides, veterinary drugs, animal welfare make UK exports harder. Brexit costing UK economy about £100bn a year. Rejoin EU. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Wow. This post from @thelondoneconomic.bsky.social has been shared 11,300 times & has 60,400 likes on @bsky.app. On X it has just 8 shares & 13 likes (despite a much larger following). Don’t tell me Musk isn’t throttling accounts. Thankfully the forecast going forward is BlueSky’s.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

I still can’t get over this data point. “Annual accounts for the DHSC in January showed that nearly three-quarters of the money it spent on PPE during the pandemic had been written off.”

Fuck this

I am right in thinking everyone wants to Rejoin the EU aren't I? Like if you do RP if you really do

bsky.app/profile/fear... He’s here - Welcome Feargal!

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

Who on earth would be interested in watching this

This man was all for a no-deal Brexit. He supports Johnson, Farage and Trump. He’d like to forcibly deport asylum seekers to Rwanda. He would have us leave the ECHR to pander to his deep and ruinous prejudices. He doesn’t give a damn about our lives. Why the hell should we care about his?

Where is Feargal Sharkey? Has he joined Bluesky yet? Miss his passionate posts about cleaning up our waterways. Can someone convince him to move across? @carolvorderman.bsky.social @implausibleblog.bsky.social @carolinelucas.bsky.social

🔴The 'Two Tier' Journalism Exposed by the Farmers Protests The glowing coverage handed to the hugely wealthy figures protesting against inheritance tax reforms has shown clearer than ever before who really has a voice in the British media and who doesn't www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-two-ti...

Important context here: ● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares) ● "a big farm" is 217 acres. Now let's see who's angry: ● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres ● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres ● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres ● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

This is not a farmers tax. This is not a tractor tax. This is a tax on estates worth over £2,000,000 paying 20% on that asset (only over 2mil). There is a reason Jeremy Clarkson called his farm diddly squatt. It's the tax he intends to pay.

🔴Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson and Junk Stats: Is This the Best the Anti-Inheritance Tax Farming Lobby Has to Offer? Millionaire landowners are using dubious statistics to campaign against the Government’s inheritance tax reforms, reports @josiah.writes.news bylinetimes.com/2024/11/19/j...

Clarkson is such a cock. Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the poor millionaires?! Nurses survived on food banks (despite many dying during covid) whilst you lot paid v. little on inherited multi million pound estates and slated striking workers. Sit down you posh bellends. Nobody cares.
