IMO Britain will be better without him and his fellow unpatriotic billionaires (such as Mittal & Rokos).
Billionaire Brexiteeer and Man United owner says he has lost confidence in the UK. Lives in Monaco to avoid UK taxes, owns several luxury properties. Demands state subsidies, including for building a Man U stadium. Why do billionaires resent people getting decent NHS, social care, public services?
Add to that the £4m previously given by Delo. I understand that Delo is moving back to the UK from Hong Kong soon.
nothing says “party of the ordinary workers” than taking a £36m donation from a crypto tycoon convicted in the US in 2022 for failings in an anti-money laundering programme before being pardoned by Donald Trump

Neither of these grifters is a leader who a reasonable person should respect.
Left: Nigel Farage dismissing criticism with, "I was told" Right: Boris Johnson, "My belief if that we were following the rules" Why is it that when rules are broken, those at the top suddenly blame someone else? Leadership means taking responsibility - not saying "I was told" or "I believed"

Britons taking “Plan 2” student loan need to earn £63,600 a year to reduce debt. Plan 2 graduates with an average loan of £52,100, and earning £39,039 would see loan balance actually increase by £1,692 a year. England student debt £294.6bn, UK £324bn Median UK employee wage is £31,500. Madness.

How “impossible” political ideas can become mainstream youtu.be/yfL2tDYY78s?... It can be done. We just have to learn how to move what's called the Overton Window.

Britain’s £3 trillion national debt is not what you think youtu.be/XONKz8OuCOw?... The so-called UK national debt is actually just the nation's favourite savings account, without which our banks, pension companies and international trade could not survive. Why get rid of that?

3 Rolling Stock Operating Companies own most of the 15,200 vehicles that run on Britain’s railways, making huge profits for their overseas shareholders. They are the gravy train - and they have to go. Read our new report on the future of our railways today👇 vist.ly/4499u
Far right are a bunch of chancers / snake oil sellers / domestic abusers / horrors. Select appropriate category or add your own on a comment.
Guess who’s back? This bitch! And it feels good! So are the stats: 2 in 5 of those Stella chugging fake patriots who rioted last year are more of danger to their ex than most refugees. Here’s my take. I don’t hold back. youtu.be/Y0oJGg8KVX0?...
I just signed this petition calling for better cooperation with the EU on the environment. Will you add your name, too? www.europeanmovement.co.uk/uk-eu-enviro...
Reeves is an ally of companies ripping off the electorate and is no friend of the average person. Starmer is past his sell by date.
“This Labour government has no moral compass” “Backbench Labour MPs appear bewildered by the direction the Government is taking on so many issues. All these things are seen as cruel. How do they fit in with the Labour Party? What ethical and moral imperative drives them?”
Reeves is useless: she appeases rip off &crooked companies and ignores ordinary people. She is past her sell by date.
Rachel Reeves considers overruling supreme court in £44bn car finance scandal. Ultimate Deregulation: Law may be bent to prevent compensation to millions, protect banks from their follies. A licence to misbehave. Any chance of laws to cap bankers' bonuses, higher taxes? NO. It is one-way traffic

#Renationalise water
Are you ready to hand more than £1,000bn to England's privatised water companies by 2050? Shareholders don't invest. Money will be extracted from customers, shareholders will own the resulting assets and income streams and collect dividends. Public ownership is the only sane way.

Definitely. Too many MATs are corporate child prisons run by CEOs and business managers who have never taught anyone in their lives. @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @bylinesnetwork.co.uk

Starmer is past his sell by date.
What Starmer should have said. People are quickly sickening of this rhetoric from Labour. Their inability to be honest on how Brexit broke the country & instead blaming & ‘othering’ the people who Farage blamed to bring about Brexit, instead of attacking Farage. It’s disgraceful

Don’t fight him where he is strong, fight him where he is weak – the economy, the NHS, Putin, Trump, climate, and yes, Brexit

🚨 New data from over 1,100 businesses across the UK shows the damage Brexit has done. 📉 72.8% of firms say they've been negatively impacted. This isn’t "teething problems", it’s structural harm to our economy. 🔍 Read the full report: www.europeanmovement.co.uk/business-imp...

I recommend installing Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 LTS. I have that on my modern mini desktop, old laptop, Raspberry Pi (running AdGuardHome to prevent Ads appearing on the home network and WireGuard for secure browsing on mobile devices on public networks) and old mini (running my camera network).
