A quarter of the average UK energy bill last year was profit for the big energy companies.

Meanwhile, almost three million households in England suffer fuel poverty.

No one should be choosing between heating and eating while energy companies rake in billions.

If you agree that mandatory digital ID cards are a terrible idea, please ask your MP to sign my motion opposing them.

These plans risk turning us into checkpoint Britain. They must be scrapped.

Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.

But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

Photo saying: Nigel Farage has raked in over £1 MILLION from outside “work” since the General Election. That’s way more than any other MP - and twice as much as the next highest, the super-rich Rishi Sunak. So much for being a man of the people. As I’ve long said: ban ALL MPs’ second jobs.

Gambling industry holding UK govt to ransom.

William Hill joins Ladbrokes and Coral to warn Chancellor - increase tax and we will shut shops.

Happy to dodge taxes; not bear cost of harms inflicted on gambling addicts and their families.

Who governs - govts or corporations?

We should charge them 10% of their previous years turnover to have a gambling licence. Thisbwill be an annual fee. If they don't pay it, they can't operate in the UK.
We need to use their greed against them.

Gambling companies should be charged 35% corporation tax, so we can fund the services required for the damage they do to society. Also the gambling commission needs to impose fines based on turnover for serious breaches. Doing the wrong thing needs to be more expensive than doing the right thing

Wow, this is seriously deranged. I understand they can't win an argument on policy, but to just resort to name calling, as if they're a bunch of 8 year olds having an argument in a playground, is just pathetic. I can wait for the next attack, when Tice says his dad can beat up Zack's dad.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.
