Commentary: Taking Advantage Of Other People Was The Best Financial Decision I Ever Made

How a French journalist was accidentally signed up as a Reform UK candidate

Again, this is not some random Reform activist, this is an established figure in Reform who was profiled in the press as a key person in Farage's operation

Here's Nigel Farage's "Tiktok guru" and adviser, Jack Anderton, telling GB News that he would be "worried" if the Jewish population was growing in the UK. When do we start seeing all the coverage about the antisemitism crisis in Reform UK?

He wasn't found guilty for preaching from the bible as claimed by this serial liar, he was convicted for harassing women lawfully receiving health care. To support the harassment of other women by a man is a very fucked-up stance for a woman to take.

Donald Trump still has a hold on the Republican Party. But some of America's most influential rightwing media personalities, such as Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, have broken with Trump over the conflict with Iran. ft.trib.al/fcqqzuv

Feargal Sharkey, "Water companies... The fines don't work, it's time we actually started upholding the law, and sending some of these executives and directors to jail"

I suspect Britain is going to do this to itself again today.

Make it make sense, indeed.

The further Putinisation of America. Wars are not called wars.

In the Jewish Chronicle, which argued Israel's genocide is good for Palestinians; and which, by positioning the Jewish community as aligned with the Far/Right, has probably done more than any other single institution to increase anti-semitism in the UK, a gentile accuses a Jew of anti-semitism.

A top police officer has been reported to a policing watchdog for making 'false and inflammatory statements' about Palestine marches

Statements that have now come to light from a handful of @TheGreenParty candidates are totally unacceptable & require immediate action. There’s no place for anti-semitism or any hate speech in the party. This is a society-wide problem & needs to be rooted out wherever it’s found

In election leaflets received by some households in Scotland, Reform UK have claimed Scotland is housing 10% of the UK’s asylum seekers. That isn’t correct according to the latest figures, which show it’s actually more like 6%.

That Reform want to ignore local councils' planning autonomy is the least of our worries

Dynamic pay on platforms such as Uber should be banned, says TUC. Workers have little idea of what they will earn. Pay based on chance, not skill, labour or hours of work. Method used to inflict pay cuts on workers. Companies impoverishing workers, boosting profits.

Labour's Chair Anna Turley MP has written to Kemi Badenoch following my reports about Conservative candidates posting racist messages and backing Tommy Robinson. One candidate was suspended following my report, but no action has yet been taken against the other

Israel blew up an entire Lebanese town, Naqoura, an ancient place. It should be headline news. There’s footage of it happening. It’s not the only town Israel has blown up. And sadly it probably won’t be the last. Preparing for territorial expansion!

IDF Statement On Boarding Flotilla

The key to happiness:

False reports that drivers have rammed into Muslim “street prayers” in London and Cardiff have been gaining traction on social media. But there’s no evidence that these incidents happened, and the posts include old and AI generated images.

Whisky diplomacy of King Charles and Donald Trump can’t mask depth of US-UK political breach

Update: Israeli forces attacked the Global Sumud Flotilla en route to Gaza and abducted over 175 people at gunpoint in international waters. Most of the abducted sailors have now been released, but two are still being held captive. Our demand is simple: their immediate release.

Seven Irish citizens ‘kidnapped’ after Gaza flotilla intercepted, organisers say

The UK government must ACT NOW and: • Condemn the Israeli Navy’s illegal actions against the Flotilla • Demand the safety and release of all British Citizens involved in this mission • Stop all arms exports to Israel immediately • Do everything in its power to end this ongoing genocide

This is brilliant: Chris Atkins set up a fake far-right news channel to interview Reform UK candidates. The Reform hopefuls all condemned scandals supposedly overseen by Labour, Conservative, and Lib Dem councils, without realising they were actually condemning the actions of... ..Reform UK.

Tony Blair’s thinktank urges Labour to scrap ‘unaffordable’ pension triple lock. 2m pensioners live in poverty. Full post-2016 state pension is received by 35% of retirees, less than 50% of minimum wage. Silence on taxing the rich, redistribution, ending corporate welfare.

Can someone explain to me why we shouldn't police incitement to hatred against some groups but we should against others?

Reform UK ran a council for a year. Things went badly - giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... via @FT

This is quite the story.

Rising costs forcing 3m UK households to skip meals. Average real wage stuck at 2008 level. Real cuts in benefits. More poor people paying income tax. No curbs on profiteering. High energy, water, food prices. Can't grow economy without equitable distribution of income/wealth.
