Farage betrays the UK at every opportunity
I've always felt that Johnson and Farage put self-interest over the national interest - hence their dallying with Putin and his oligarchs. But directly colluding with a foreign government to take down the BBC feels like an act of supreme treachery

This is Labour
In November 2024 Starrmer announced that his government is in partnership with US Blackrock, a mega corporation that buys up just about anything with pension funds, and money from investors/shareholders at a higher-than-market-value value price.

The black hole is really in our hospitals, schools, and local councils, not the Treasury. The UK government can never run out of money.

For everyone: £sterling is created mostly electronically, by government. Commercial banks get a licence to do it too, but have to account to govt daily. That's where £sterling comes from. Tax returns it to govt, not to finance services. Govt finances services.

Scarily important. Already happening.
Dear Blueskyer's, am I wasting my time informing you of seismic changes to the entire critical infrastructure of the UK post-Brexit? Changes wrought by the Tories, by Labour, and with Reform UK's full backing.
BlackRock's own former ESG chief called it a "dangerous placebo that harms the public interest".
Blackrock is embarking on what it calls its Infrastructure Imperative. This represents a serious incursion into the public sector, it is wholly dependent on UK public services collapse.
