Farage was given £5m by the crypto billionaire living in Thailand shortly before announcing he would stand in the 2024 UK general election. Donation not declared. Farage, the champion of Brexit and crypto, funded by foreign money, often missing in parliamentary votes and debates.

Labour's housing minister's opposition to rent controls welcomed by the country's largest private landlord. Who's side are Labour on? Renters or landlords. The answer is here.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Americans don't know the reasons Iran hates the US. In 1951 Iran's democracy elected Mohammed Mossadegh. The CIA & British intelligence staged a coup, installed a dictator who tortured and killed people. It goes on from there.

🚨 NEW POLL! Yet another poll has the Scottish Greens overtaking Reform, Labour and the Tories. We would become the second largest party in the Scottish Parliament! On May 7th, let's demand better. Vote Scottish Greens. 💚

This Government both want us to believe they've played a leadership role here - and that they don't know the terms of the agreement. It's simply not plausible. While European Allies banned US use of their airspace, we've let bombers launch from the UK.

Cohen: They own all of this. Trump isn’t on the ballot in 2026. He’s not going to be on the ballot in 2028. But the rest of these Republicans will be. And they are just as responsible for what we’re seeing right now as Donald Trump is

It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people. We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government. This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.

Keir Starmer utterly silent on the war crimes that are happening. He'll drone on about a special relationship but nothing to say on war crimes in Iran, Lebanon, Palestine. Trump and Netanyahu able to behave like we have law of the jungle.

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

13.4m Britons, including 4m children, live in relative poverty. Median wage of an employee is around £31,000. Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%. 1% has more wealth than 70% of the population combined. No govt plan for equitable distribution of wealth.

bbc.co.ukMore than 13 million living in poverty, government figures showThe level rose slightly on the previous year while the number of children living in poverty has remained steady.

"Southern Lebanon is being cut off from the rest of the country.. the Israelis have said they plan on seizing all territory south of this, the Litani river, as what they call a security zone. It would in reality of course be another occupation" A recent report by Secunder Kermani

AOC: Companies like Palantir are mining endlessly the data and privacy of the American people—keeping track of everything that they say and do. And sending it to a militarized government.

This is an extraordinary saga that Sunder is pursuing indefatigably. The BBC has repeatedly tried to excuse itself from responsibility for allowing Nigel Farage to lie egregiously about immigration without challenge. It is illustrative of a much wider malaise & so very important. Thank you, Sunder.

We are trying to improve on: "unfortunately we did not spot that" [big false claim] - but the presenter did argue with him about anecdotal experiences of crime just after that, if that helps, + we corrected a different false claim. [So: is there a quota of one correction per interview?!?!]

Wes Streeting having the chutzpah to tell the story about the NHS. He doesn't tell the bit about how much he's accepted from private healthcare and the risk our NHS is at under this Labour Government. And most of all, lots of questions about his meetings with Palantir. #BBCQT

The Israeli government is now doing to southern Lebanon what it has done to Gaza. Horror and death on an unimaginable scale. And still our governments supply weapons, intelligence and diplomatic support. #PartyToTheCrime

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.
