BBC Today programme "Brexit is a success" says Nigel Farage. This is now no longer a joke. The BBC is still spewing out propaganda and the government does NOTHING!

The loss of freedom of movement due to Brexit affects far more than just people. Losing the four freedoms- goods, people, capital, and services has wide-ranging consequences.

Super-rich get ‘double dividend’ from causes and costs of climate crisis. They profit from polluting industries, and through the ‘adaptation economy’. Super-rich buy govts, control means of production and think tanks. Victims pay higher prices for food, homes, relocations. Who governs?

Private equity buys UK fertility clinics. PE already controls social care, hospitals, GP surgeries, dentistry, child fostering. Usual business model. High debt, quality of care declines, prices increase, high profits. When things go wrong, NHS has to step in, PE doesn't pay.

Corporate penetration of the NHS’: Revolving door raises concerns over ADHD review. Instead of expanding NHS capacity, govts hand contacts to private providers making vast profits. The same providers meet ministers to influence terms of reviews. More privatisations follow. Public money buys less.

Yes, most of the public have no idea how far-reaching the loss of FoM is for British nationals. It's more than not being able to work, marry, live, retire, or study in another EU nation. It deeply affects UK workers, artists, musicians, business people, and, of course, the free movement of goods

The Duchy of Cornwall says it collected £503,711 rent from the King for Highgrove House. Prince William is the Duke of Cornwall. Father pays rent to son. No money left the family but nice PR. Previously, King Charles was the Duke of Cornwall. He was paying rent to himself.

Sure, we should, if we can (many cannot). But as I keep pointing out, the government itself is making no provision at all. No stockpiles, no back-up, no alternative sources. It's individuating the response to a collective problem, and that never ends well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

UK lacks essential electricity transmission/storage systems. Billions paid to solar & wind turbine farms to switch off during periods of high sunshine/winds, expected to cost £8bn a year by 2030. National Grid pays dividends. What is the Govt doing? Watch the Minister's reply.

UK law requires companies to pay dividends from realized profits, must maintain capital. Law is poorly enforced. Water companies flout it. Carillon abused it. Now Govt proposes that dividends can be paid without capital maintenance. Madness to appease corporations.

So, Farage has reported ITV to the police following the work their undercover journalists did which confirmed that Reform is indeed a seething mass of racism, misogyny and bigotry. Meanwhile, here’s some commentary from Private Eye and their handy guide to undercover journalists.

Labour betrayed us all. Investment in renewables would have sent a loud & clear message to the world. Instead, the world now knows: the UK is no longer a world leader.

Let's check the facts! The EU economy is larger, with an average growth of 15-20% compared to the UK. The UK's GDP per person is still about 6% lower than the EU average in 2024. Furthermore, the EU is more resilient, benefiting from greater investment, trade, and job security during global shocks.

Official US policy is that Ukraine is a strategic partner, and Russia is an adversarial threat to US interests. Trump himself formalised it in Feb 2026. It was still the case when Starlink went down. If a US citizen harms allies and assists adversaries in a war, that's treason.
