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.

Even more disgraceful “Witkoff and Kushner reportedly announced that the “peace plan” would involve an immediate halt on some of the most devastating attacks in the war … but solely by Ukraine.” Leaving the aggressor 🇷🇺 free to continue its bombardment Trump isn’t even hiding he’s a 🇷🇺 asset

The final irony. Hundreds of articles ABOUT Jason Arday - fact-free, poor data analysis, often copying other people's work. A couple of articles BY Jason Arday - a few corrections, and still supported by academic publishers and peer review. Just tragic bias by our media

Several said they had no advance knowledge of Operation Epic Fury, the U.S. campaign against Iran, even though some of them were directly involved in it. They learned that hostilities had begun the same way most Americans did: from the news. “We are sitting ducks,” one said.

Well that was quite an emotional evening at choir tonight. On #SUDEPActionDay I absolutely felt the love this evening. A sea of purple enveloped me as I walked into the room, it was quite overwhelming, even one of the guys had a purple scrunchy in his hair. 🤣🤣❤️❤️

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.

US, Russia, and Israel appear to be coordinating against Europe and Canada, and it is clearly escalating. Trump & Netanyahu face being declawed in a few weeks. We must remain calm and resolute, do not give in to their provocations and destabilisation attempts. Together strong.

There’s 3,428 billionaires out of a world population of ~8,300,000,000 people. Why are we letting 0.000041% dictate the entire world we all live in? I say we break off into groups of 2.4M, assign a billionaire to each group, and get this ship back on course.

All across the EU, people are rioting over the cost of living and underfunded public services. Not to sound doomsdayish, but the next global pandemic-like event won't be biological. It's going to be global unrest over the cost of survival while a few elites keep getting richer.

Didn’t realise that the charity gig we were doing yesterday was for a guy who’d lost his daughter to suicide, I knew she’d died but not the reason. That must be absolutely horrendous for a parent, you think you know your children. Hold them close, listen to them, talk to them, ask them. ❤️❤️❤️

The Dept for Health and Social Care told us to take down our spoof video criticising Palantir’s NHS contract. We checked with our lawyers, and we’ve not done anything wrong. So we’re reposting it, in case you missed it 👀

Our NHS has been hollowed out over the last few decades. Thank you @premnsikka.bsky.social The UK has 2.4 NHS beds PER 1,000 people Japan: 12.6 Germany: 7.7 Austria: 6.6 France: 5.4 OECD average: 4.2 This is why we have the disgrace of corridor care. It's time to invest and rebuild our NHS

Tories call for 5-year freeze on minimum wage to tackle youth unemployment. So, how will workers in retail, hospitality pay rent, energy, water, food bills? Impact on mental health, NHS, public services? Silence on corporate welfare, soaring exec pay, dividends, share buybacks.
