@stevekeen938062.skystack.xyz has written a lot about this.

Mandelson is not the only example of those using their time in power to enrich themselves. Think Cameron lobbying for Greensill Capital! Meanwhile, Farage’s recent £50k trip to Davos, to declare an end to the rules-based global order, gets paid for by an Iranian-born billionaire, Sasan Ghandehari.

As a description of how government spending is financed, “MMT” is not a “theory”. It’s fact. There are differences about what this means for policy but one thing is quite clear: The government does not have to generate taxes or go to the bond markets in order to spend.

Listen! Then, if you can, get involved in Hannah’s Campaign!

Starmer lied to Labour Party members to get elected as leader. I didn’t vote for him but even a seasoned member like me didn’t realise the extent of his lies. Many who voted for him have, like me, left the Party. Many now proudly members of @greenparty.org.uk We have 4 great MPs🤞🏼we will soon have 5!

Modern Monetary Theory isn’t a potentially risky radical fiscal plan but simply a description of how the British state already spends | Vince Gomez

Thanks @westenglandbylines.co.uk for a piece that explains the difference between MMT, as a factual description of the mechanics of government spending, VS MMT economic policy. One is accounting fact and the other is subjective economics and it’s important we know the difference.

A £240m defence contract without tender. Their fingerprints all over our health care data. A meeting in the USA but without any minutes. Everything around Palantir stinks. www.thenational.scot/news/2584192...

Perhaps the bigger problem for Streeting is the growing concerns around the NHS medicines deal with the US And what role did he / Mandelson play in it? "Under the deal the UK will pay more for new medicines and let the NHS spend more on life-extending medicine" www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Isn't it revolting how Pippa Crerar enables Wes Streeting's attempt to launder his reputation?

Well done my former neighbours!

The govt is refusing to commit to an inquiry into the MOD's contracts with US-based spy tech giant Palantir despite the web of shady connections between Mandelson, Epstein, and Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel - this absolutely stinks.

Minister accuses Green Party of being soft on defence. A smear without substance if you’re really concerned about our national security. It’s soft on both our defence and our national security to be so dependent on Israeli-influenced US companies

This is what Netanyahu and Herzog are doing! This is what is now being said out loud on Israeli television! This hatred from Zionists makes the world want Israel to be punished severely!

I am not antisemitic and I will decry genocide and starving children to death everyday. If you cannot see how inhumane that is, the problem lies within you. I also don’t want to give Israel my tax dollars for any reason. Israel has done nothing to deserve $300 Billion of American tax dollars.

And if you think I’m joking…

National Insurance (NI) dodges. Companies pay employers' NI (ENI) on director wage. Partners of Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) get share of profit, instead of wage No ENI paid. Big 4 law firms alone dodged £4bn. Billions more lost in other LLPs. No govt plugs this perk for the rich

@elliechowns.bsky.social is right, it stinks! bsky.app/profile/elli...

I think it goes beyond Mandelson

I’m not saying civil servants or career diplomats are perfect- there’s certainly been the odd scandal or two - but, honestly, it’s infuriating when politicians blame “bureaucrats” for alleged failings, when they have people like this. Civil servants are rarely as bad as the politicians above them!

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich. Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else. Trickle-up economics.

Another person abroad is out because of the #EpsteinFiles and #Trump remains #POTUS www.bbc.com/news/live/c7...

Excellent work by Reform at Kent Council, who made a £40m saving by briefly proposing to spend £40m on something then deciding not to. Using this model, every Reform council can save £billions! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

apnews.com/article/trum... are worried about the cost of housing. But Trump wants home prices to keep climbing

Mandelson revelations show need for tougher UK constraints to resist rule of the rich. Big money buys access to policymakers, ministers, thwarts threatening laws. Political corruption is normalised. Democracy hijacked l Must end political donations, second jobs for MPs; must control lobbyists.

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses? People

it will really be something if the Epstein Files unseat a British Prime Minster who isn't in them, and not the American President who was Epstein's best friend.

2/12 There is a reason why Putin, Musk, Trump, Vance, Thiel, and Xi all spend fortunes to attack Brussels. They do not hate the EU because it fails. They hate it because of its potential. Our unity is their nightmare

Yes. That is why we set up our Defensive Constitutional reform project. 99-percent.org/projects/con...

Morgan McSweeney’s decision to resign, at least in principle, gives the Prime Minister an opportunity for a fresh start. If he can take it. We have two immediate suggestions … sh1.sendinblue.com/3g7ul8i2bglp...

And very predictably, by sticking to the small target strategy, Starmer has not been able to do the job with McSweeny either. 99-percent.org/when-to-chan...

You are right that he could not have changed any laws before formally becoming President. But it is normal for incoming administrations to start talking to officials. The article sets out what he might have said to them and to the public.

"Far-right politics has been in Britain for a century, during which no paying market has ever been found for this kind of worldview." Says @frasernelson.bsky.social, who made a lucrative career out of publishing the racist rantings of Taki, Douglas Murray and Rod Liddle. archive.ph/sbEpa

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

"Among the hires at CBS News announced by Weiss is a doctor who claims he reduced his biological age by 20 years with cold plunges; that cod liver oil treats autism; and that Alzheimer’s and dementia can be reversed with supplements he sells on his online store." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

”If he wasn’t as close to McSweeney ...” Tells you everything that is wrong with this Labour Party.

Unfortunately, Democrats always think that everyone will “play fair” and they plan on that basis. Dems will follow the law even if it means that the Mob gets control of the country; as it has. If the Founding Fathers had taken this approach, there would be no independent America.

Biden and his admin deserve more stick than they get. Like this speech as he left office warning that a dangerous oligarchy was taking hold. Didn't try and do anything about it whilst in office, did ya? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The best answer to the regular refrain of, “but if we enforce the law it would be escalatory!” Look the fuck around you! (Also applies to the ruzzian invasion of Ukraine)

We need to stop taxpayers having to subsidise employers who pay too little for people to live on. We need properly paid jobs. For too long firms have paid unliveable wages in the knowledge that governments will taxpayers increase those wages up to a liveable level.

This doesn't bode well for a transition to #48 if Trump doesn't win again. I think it's it's reasonable to expect that Trump appointees will make every effort to obstruct and sabotage the admin of #48, for its entire term. Will Democrats have prepared for that? I doubt it very much.
