Opinionated, stroppy old bag who hates Tories, Zionists and other arseholes. And my god, there are far too many arseholes.

Auditors and new officials have been turning over stones at the body in charge of Teesworks. Turns out the Tees Valley Combined Authority has been lending hundreds of millions of £ to connected orgs, without loan agreements, and those orgs are now struggling to repay

Sorry for language but what the f*ck is the point of Electoral Commission if they don’t bother investigating Farage’s alleged illegal excess spending during Clacton election❓😡
And why the f*ck did the police investigation over it & HMRC investigation over stamp duty on Clacton House both fade away🤷🏼♂️

My suggestion to the BBC has been that every day in prime time they broadcast a 10 minute extract of a recent Trump speech, unedited, in all its shambling incoherence, until he agrees to withdraw his lawsuit and pay costs.
And he has to hand the cheque to Sadiq Khan.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

"We will always be on the side of working people", Farage's 'Letter to the Nation' says today.
What he neglects to admit is that Reform plans to cut £300+ billion from the public services that these "working people" rely on every day.

As for Farage’s use of racist slurs being confined to his childhood - well, that's not what Alan Sked, the founder of UKIP, claimed in this 2014 interview.
He says here that Farage was using the "n" word as late as 1997.
Farage would have been about 33 at time.

Everyone: What's government doing about the cost of living crisis, the climate crisis, and the unfolding genocide in Gaza?
Labour: "We will mandate people carry Brit cards".
This government's priorities are painfully out of touch and increasingly authoritarian.

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

@theguardian.com I'm glad you won the case against Noel Clarke, but does it justify 7 pages, including the cover, of gloating over it?
Tucked away inside is a small section re Gaza; considering most people aren't aware how grim things are there I think this shows poor judgement on your part.
