🚨🚨Outstanding public service work by @chrischirp.bsky.social in collecting and forensically tracking the fairly radical decline of American democracy under the #trump presidency. Strongly recommend following this. 👇

In 2024, UK’s big four banks HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds, & National Westminster made £45.9bn profit.

Since 2021/22 profit margins up by 21%.

2022 -2024: Big four banks paid £124bn in dividends, £32bn in share buybacks.

They oppose possible tax increase, publish misleading tax numbers.

Tax them.

This Prof kept us well informed on what really happened during pandemic. She still is.
She is also now scientifically tracking Trump's actions and their impact via www.trumpactiontracker.info
Enjoy!

OK Ladies,

Please check out this lady. She was brilliant at informing the UK what was really happening during pandemic.
She is now scientifically logging every Trump act, policy change, EO, everything to keep an archive for posterity but also for real time analysis.

FO will you!
Just watched at 8.30am so that's tonight's nightmare sorted. Ta.
Colin Towns did the music; probably after he left the Ian Gillan Band.

Better than listening to Jeremy Bowen sanitising Israeli actions though, which is much more horrifying.

Fascinating article on Banks' wife.

-The daughter of a senior Russian state official
-1st husband questioned by the secret police unit responsible for national security.
- She was arrested and accused of working for Russian intelligence. MI5 applied to deport her on grounds of national security

Ofgem has raised the Standing Charge again today on October the 1st.

Standing Charges are now triple what they were in 2021.

You are being forced to pay the Energy Companies an extra £5bn a year.

For NOTHING.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

Farage is applying for a job.

That job is Prime Minister.

The only thing on his CV is Brexit.

He campaigned for it for 27 years.

So his only real track record is making everyone poorer & damaging the NHS.

If you hire Nigel & Reform, you must want this company (UK) to fail.

An excellent piece on what is wrong with ID Cards. Spoiler alert: It't not the cards as such, but why and under which circumstances they are being announced.. 👇

@ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social the view from over the pond

Glad to see accurate and insightful predictions still emanate from the Wakeford/Cummings household. 😑

This obnoxious weirdo can absolutely do one with his poisonous little take on what the British people think.
He lost the right to appropriate our opinions when he foisted his prejudiced and dishonest Brexit shitshow on us and told us that’s what we wanted.
Reform is the grim hangover of that failure

On Chris Mason, the new enthusiastic Farage fanboy.
It’s absolutely irresponsible how the BBC has let him report on that party conference.

And let me repeat : The BBC is an important institution and they are getting a lot right, as well.

But here they haven’t.

What Zoe says👇🏽
Why aren’t asylum seekers allowed to work?

It would be deeply ironic if Biden outlived Trump.

.@pimlicat: "We all had a front row seat to Musk’s malign influence."

“British people are rightly against Musk being anywhere near our electricity supply."

Say No to Elon Musk's energy power grab and send a letter to Ofgem: https://www.bestforbritain.org/petition-elon-musk-uk-energy-power-grab

Was fuer eine peinliche Schweinerei.
Selber Schuld beim naechsten GE.
Echt Entauschend. So sei es!

Farage should never be interviewed without being forced to answer for failures of Brexit. That the man whose lies fuelled Brexit vote which has cost UK Billions & who said Liz Truss budget was “best Tory budget since 1986” could be trusted on *anything* is mind-boggling #bbclaura

Today, the UK government intends to ban the non-violent protesters Palestine Action as a "terrorist" group, exposing anyone supporting them to terrorism charges. In 2 days, 380,000 people have watched this video on YT alone.
You're going to need a bigger prison.
