STARMER YOU’RE AN OBSTINATE SOD!

We’ve lost £40 billion in tax revenues

In 2025, average UK households are between £4,000-£6,000/year worse off.

Investment is £29 billion lower

Output is 5% smaller, that’s £140 billion a year.

AND ALL BECAUSE OF BREXIT!

GET IT UNDONE!

My starting point would be that children shouldn’t start school until they are at least 6, not 4 as is the case for a significant number of children in Reception.

A good A-level in a modern foreign language is around a B2, which is where the (very confusing) reference to A-levels came from.

Gavin Williamson has described the decision to open, then close, primary schools on 4 January 2021 as “panicked”.

I would describe it as idiotic.

Boris Johnson gave parents 'false hope' over schools reopening, Gavin Williamson tells Covid inquiry

Watch as the former education secretary gives evidence at the inquiry, which is focusing on the impact of the pandemic on children and young people.

Unexplained wealth & Farage 👇 Avoidance of stamp duty & HMRC? No reporting of supplementary income to Parliament? Russia & petrodollars links & Reform?

Nope nothing except @Bylines.bsky.social.

Tinpot Teflon gets a free ride from the BBC & the MSM.

That £900k house in Frinton. Has anyone mentioned how it was paid for yet? Any laws broken, or all above board?

Anyone investigating? Media grown a conscience? Any journalist working for the British people? Anyone?

Half way through another week of silence then.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social Starmer also needs to publish the Russia Report that Boris Johnson buried and expose the links between Farage, Brexit and the Kremlin. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Key witness statement in China spy row to be published, says Starmer

Statement by deputy national security adviser was central to CPS decision to withdraw spying charges against two men

If the Suffragettes hadn’t been annoying and obstructive women would have the vote and there would be no women in the House of Commons or the Lords.

It’s ridiculous because over 50% of the “indigenous” population of England couldn’t meet that requirement. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social need to stop trying to outdo the fascists.

“A beacon of stability & growth”!!! The U.K. economy is flatlining due to Brexit and faces the highest inflation in the G7. Rachel Reeves must think the IMF and U.K. population are stupid.

A message from history strongly suggests that things don’t work out too well for extremely rich men who exploit the general population e.g. French & Bolshevik revolutions.

They didn’t specify so I t could be either and judging from my son’s experience the expected level for English Literature wasn’t far off Year 1 undergraduate.

This just confirms what many of us already know - trying by trying to out fascist ReformUK @labour are losing their core voters to the only left leaning Party in town.

When the right wing media and wealthy men who don’t like paying tax start to attack you it’s because they’re scared of you.

Given the competing self interests of Polanski (make a fairer more sustainable world to live in) and Spectator owner multimillionaire Marshall (avoid paying taxes on hoarded wealth), I’m going to go with Polanski

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 2d

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

And in other news Nigel Farage is being funded by American Christian Fascists who aim to overturn abortion law in the U.K. Don’t be fooled by #ReformUK they are fascists and they are dangerous.
