This is quite the post. 1. He unambiguously directs his AG to go after those who investigated him for his crimes 2. He admits being influenced by online chatter He is mob bossing out in the open, because he knows he has corrupted every federal law enforcement agency into submission.

You don't get coverage like this on Russian TV without Kremlin approval. The Kremlin knew Farage would be a useful tool, and such he has been and continues to be.

Here is the Sun's pitifully small apology for its lie about benefits tourism - a lie that was accepted as truth by millions and helped deliver Brexit. These lies are perverting our democracy. At a minimum, apologies should be published in the same location and size as the lie.

My #FBPE starter pack is up to 73 accounts. It's only in its early stages, and I'll be adding a lot more accounts. Please share. Building networks is a vital and urgent task in the fight to defend democracy, freedom, and human rights. go.bsky.app/PtsPYaW

"Without urgent action, Britain may well find itself going the way of the US and become a formerly-developed country with an increasingly impoverished population living in a flawed democracy." 99-percent.org/defensive-co...

This week’s 99% letter focuses on what makes countries explode into violence – with particular reference to the US and the UK. And we have radio coverage of our new report, which looks at the government’s 10-year plan for the NHS. sh1.sendinblue.com/3g5uy9u2bglp...

The micro-aggressions are daily, the abuse regular, and the threat of violence constant. I need you to understand what this country feels like right now for those of us who feel different. Because only then you might glean what those flags going up signify to someone who looks like me. 3/

Paid a visit to the London arms fair today... Found a component for cluster munitions, banned under international law, on full display. Confirmed by staff, and removed swiftly by event organisers. But what else remains? These vile weapons should never be peddled in the UK.

Last week's turmoil in Westminster meant that our event on the government's plan for the NHS in England had to be postponed. But thanks to our friends @keepournhspublic.bsky.social, BCB Radio's June Russell interviewed me about the 99% Organisation, the NHS report and more. youtu.be/VCuoANx005c

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!) Receipts: zeteo.com/p/charlie-ki...

"If we continue as we are going, there is a good chance of following America into the grip of the far-right; but with rapid and bold action, we can avoid that fate and put Britain back onto a path of economic and social progress." @mrmarkethomas.bsky.social westcountryvoices.co.uk/two-futures-...

Lots of information on this on 99-percent.org @99organisation.bsky.social

Excellent, as usual. Good you made the point about Govt’s ability to spend & if spent wisely, taxes come in. Up front taxes are for fairness (reverse obscene inequality), to control inflation and to incentivise spending on “goods” and disincentivise “bads”. Keynes: Anything we can do, we can afford!

This week’s letter to 99% members explores whether the UK faces a pivotal moment, and how we can choose a future worth looking forward to. sh1.sendinblue.com/3g5qqki2bglp...

Agreed. And right now is a very good time to make the change. bsky.app/profile/mrma...

The departure of Angela Rayner is causing turmoil in Labour. It also creates the opportunity for a badly-needed reset. Two Futures for Britain 99-percent.org/two-futures-...

Agreed. And though Trump himself may not be coherent, there is a dangerously coherent plan which he is following. 99-percent.org/what-is-happ...

westenglandbylines.co.uk/politics/ali... By Claire Jones: "Trump’s US isn't ‘some other place’. His contempt for the global rules-based order; his normalisation of cruelty, hatred & the othering of vulnerable groups, have impressed proto-fascists everywhere & been energetically adopted in the UK"

The body of evidence showing that when centrist parties adopt the priorities and talking points of the far right, they torpedo themselves is vast and powerful. Yet Keir Starmer's Labour Party seems determined to ignore it. A few examples in 🧵: theconversation.com/how-should-l...

Our country faces serious challenges: safeguarding democracy; fixing the economy to tackle the cost-of living crisis; and rebuilding the NHS. This week’s letter to 99% members shows how your MP can help. sh1.sendinblue.com/3g5e3gi2bglp...

Three simple things your MP should do from @99organisation.bsky.social‬ 99-percent.org/three-things...

Taking our messages to Parliament from @mrmarkethomas.bsky.social @99organisation.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/the99per...

So what do we call a government who wants to reform it (and remove some rights) so they can deter and expel asylum seekers www.infomigrants.net/en/post/6529...

The top two issues for UK voters are 1) tackling the cost-of-living crisis and 2) fixing the NHS. In this week’s letter we set out the messages we are taking to Parliament on these two issues. sh1.sendinblue.com/3g59vr62bglp...

What's worth remembering isthat Nigel Farage of Reform UK, and the shitshow that is Brexitwat, can't get enough of President rapist fraudster Trump.

Many people in Britain seem unconcerned about the state of the USA -- either because they are unaware of what is happening or they think it could not happen here. What is Happening to America? 99-percent.org/what-is-happ...

Agreed. If we do not call them far-right, we normalise what they want to do. The US shows the danger all too clearly. 99-percent.org/what-is-far-...

I am afraid you are right. 99-percent.org/what-is-far-...

Pointing out the objective reality of FPTP and drawing extremely obvious conclusions isn’t scaremongering. All it’ll result in at the next GE is a Reform win. Good luck having any rights whatsoever, let alone voter reform, if that happens.

Agreed. If no one calls it out, the threat will not be visible until it is too late. 99-percent.org/what-is-far-...

Jenrick can't control who stands in the background of his photos, but he can decide whether to attend protests with a far-right message and a documented history of being organised by the far-right. He knows this. He goes anyway. Once upon a time it would have been a sackable offence.

It's another good reminder of the profound state of corruption of the current federal judiciary that these kinds of openly/criminal actions can take place and citizens have no recourse to the courts. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/u...

'After the next election, the UK could very well have a far-right government, and hardly anyone is saying so.'

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

This week’s letter to 99% members focuses on the urgency of defining ‘far-right’ and calling it out. sh1.sendinblue.com/3g55o1u2bglp...

We don't have an agreed definition of 'far-right'. And right now, that is a serious problem. What is ‘Far-Right’? 99-percent.org/what-is-far-...

Thread (1/38) Three Baseless Taboos are Derailing National Renewal

Why do we need defensive constitutional reform? From @99organisation.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/the99per...

The three taboos driving perverse decision-making from government. @mrmarkethomas.bsky.social debunks and offers an alternative strategy. westcountryvoices.co.uk/the-deadly-l...

Thanks Mark, a good read as always

If Starmer is more rational than Trump, he will raise taxes on the wealthiest, act responsibly on immigration, support Sadiq Khan, and push hard on green transition. 'Trump tells Starmer to cut taxes and curb immigration in order to beat Farage' - on.ft.com/4mjkod9 via @FT

Progress in Britain is held back by three taboos. This week’s letter to 99% members explores the taboos, the damage they are doing, and what it will take to break them. sh1.sendinblue.com/3g51gci2bglp...

There are only three things you would need to believe to make national renewal impossible. Fortunately, none of them are true. The Deadly ‘Logic’ Blocking National Renewal 99-percent.org/the-deadly-l...

HM Revenue & Customs does not know how many billionaires pay tax in the UK, according to a new report by MPs The Public Accounts Committee says this is despite fact only a small number of people have this status - & the significant sums of money involved news.sky.com/story/hmrc-d...

'A report on debt sustainability that does not mention that the government can create money is as useful as a report on tackling crime that does not mention the police.'

This would all make perfect sense if we are prepared to accept the following fallacies: 1. growth will be lower than interest rates and there is nothing we can do about it 2. Debt of over 100% of GDP is a problem that must be tackled urgently 3. the UK does not run a fiat currency.
