There is no need for a moral panic about the UK's welfare system.

Far from perfect but recent discourse is nuts

Spending is controlled, not spiralling

Worklessness is near record lows

PPE Medpro refuses to pay the debt which is now £145m.

The Government needs to charge the debt to Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman and then put out an arrest warrant.

They can sit in prison until the pay.

"word and deed?" Johnson has refused to place the plaque for January 6 police, defying the law to do so! Why are these reporters not calling out his lies?

#ICE #EugeneOR #Oregon

3:31 AM
Good evening,
We were informed today by Salem that ICE is in Eugene.
We were warned that 50 to 100 cars came down 15. Went
through Woodburn and Chemeketa. They will not be
showing up as ICE but as CBP (Customs and Border
Patrol). We unfortunately can't send out the information through our government email.
I just wanted to give you heads up to share with all your contacts.

Half of America’s Voting Machines Now Owned by a MAGA Oligarch

They told us elections were rigged. Then they cloned stolen voting software. Then they bought the voting machines.

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.

Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We can see where this is going.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Flooding seen with water up to the crash barriers of local roads

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

A small blue house has been blown onto its roof

It may sound petty, but maybe there is a connection: Why are the MAGA nutjobs so ugly and usually very overweight? Certainly could be a connection with their desire for rape if no one will touch them otherwise...
