UK faces highest inflation in G7 this year and next, IMF warns.

Biggest cause is profiteering led by energy, water and food businesses. No govt checks it.

Real average wage stuck at 2008 level. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. Govts needs to remove cash from the rich.

Proud of Scotland's "The National" paper with this.

Calling out the Israeli government's retribution cum genocide in Gaza - on the front page.

Fantastic job. 👍

Potholes. Must be.

Then again, I'm sitting through the Trump speech in the #Knesset, so she could be talking about car building in Lego for all my slightly mushed brain could guess.

#Knesset Stomach churning guff from Booby Netanyahu's warbling chorus before Trump speaks.

Embarrassing.

And all while Israeli government backed gangs are still going about their trade in Gaza.

Abysmal.

#Trump #Israel We should watch these events carefully just now as there's a very real danger that the #Knesset might drown in a flood of its own unctuousness before this day's out.

And it might take that long before Trump gets a word in after this wholly unsavoury Israeli victory lap.

Corrupt chancers urged to come up with an economic plan that isn’t utter bullshit. So, no tax cuts and austerity on steroids for a country already stuck in Farage’s Brexit dead end.
But hey, some super wealthy industry big (k)nobs will come on board to help con the little guy.

(Times)
Times Farage to abandon manifesto's big plans for tax cuts Extracts: Farage will break with his manifesto pledges of £90 billion in tax cuts as he attempts to bolster his party's economic credibility. The leader of Reform UK will promise not to reduce taxes before reducing spending, deep cuts to the civil service and a ban on borrowing to fund government expenditure in his first big speech on the economy next month. "Reform will never borrow to spend, as Labour and the Tories have done for so long; instead, we will ensure savings are made before implementing tax cuts. I will have more to say on all this in the coming weeks." Speaking on the campaign trail before the Caerphilly by-election to the Welsh parliament on October 23, he did not respond to demands to name his shadow chancellor but suggested he would soon be able to draw on backing from the business community. Several high-profile figures from industry have privately indicated they would be willing to serve in a Reform cabinet, party officials said Farage said: "We will be launching between now and the budget, a new campaign — an economic campaign ... it's going to be very impactful. It'll another high-profile individual coming into politics from outside of politics, who's been supremely successful in their world." Promising a "total change of attitude" on the economy, he said: "We are not a party dominated by corporate thinking. The Tories and La-bour are both dominated by corporate thinking." The IFS has questioned whether Reform's economic plans are credible warning last year that the party had overestimated how much it could save through spending cuts: "Even with the extremely optimistic assumptions about how much economic growth would increase, the sums in this manifesto do not add up." Right-leaning think tanks have also urged the party to set out more credible policy. The Institute for Economic Affairs last month called for Reform to "put some serious economic policies on the table".

Booby Netanyahu's face is absolutely trippin' him. His boss ordered him - belatedly - to stand down from destroying Gaza and innocent Palestinians.

Amazing what happens when you attack a country that gave Trump a free Boeing.

Courtesy of @dropsitenews.com and I suppose I can't really be surprised seeing this. Perhaps all occupying armies do this on exit, but maybe the Israeli government could just do one simple thing - rename the IDF.

This has zero to do with Defence. Not. One. Iota.
