Back in the US after a long break in the UK, I am suffering from total sticker shock after visiting a couple of DC supermarkets. I have never seen prices like it. Inflation numbers here are going to soar & are not yet telling the full story. The difference between late May & today is staggering.
It is disgraceful that Andy Burnham took an hour out to appear on Gogglebox just to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer. If he's going to do a TV show he should do what I did and pocket £1.5million for eating some kangaroo bollocks.
Opinium have a poll in the Observer with Labour extending their lead from 5 to 8 points over Reform, who do remain ahead of the Conservatives in this poll. (Those two parties within margin of error of each other in most polls)
🌹LAB 30% (+1)
➡️REF 22% (-2)
🌳CON 20% (n/c)
🌍GRN 10% (+1)
🔶LD 9% (n/c)
In parts of Merseyside, migrant care workers are being routinely racially abused and attacked by primary school-aged children
Sickening in so many ways
Press disinformation alert: the Daily Mail told readers Britain “could run out of gas this winter”. Ofgem actually said a gas emergency is not expected. Share the facts: www.hackedoff.org/blog-posts/o...
I'm the ideal person to lecture teachers on hard work, since I’m usually too busy with my 12 side grifts to bother turning up for the full-time job I’m paid to do and because I had the 4th worst attendance record out of 751 MEPs in the EU Parliament.
Who would have thought that Reform members would turn out to be snowflakes. If they want to be taken seriously then they should expect investigations and if they can’t handle that then they are unfit to govern
Well done to everyone who's condemning Burnham for appearing on Gogglebox.
It's a NEW LOW.
You'd never have seen PMs or statesmen of old cheapen themselves by association with pop culture... or by appearing on high rating TV shows...
Never happened
The comments made by Nigel Farage about Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) are complete bull****!
The £200bn figure he uses has no basis in reality and is unsupported by any reliable data - and he knows it.
If UK news shows won’t call this boll**** out let’s do it ourselves

This won't go anywhere, obviously, but it's still a useful indication of how they'd act if they ever get into Government. Locking up journalists would just be the start
Reform UK said it has reported ITV to the police following the broadcaster’s expose which revealed racist remarks by members of the party
The allegations involve an undercover reporter "doctoring" a passport and others canvassing for Reform in Portsmouth pressgazette.co.uk/news/reform-...
Any Reform propaganda or material please send back to Reform at the address below. I couldn’t possibly suggest sending any other garbage that pops through your letterbox, or even Temu flags from lamp posts 🤔

Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock etc are responsible for the dreadful covid death toll in care homes - when it was obvious from Italy how serious it would be.
They were more interested in making money from dodgy PPE deals... 🤦♀️

Jeremy Hunt on who spent 6 years as Health Secretary underfunding the NHS and social care
Says that a lack of resources in the NHS and social care is why we had so many covid deaths in social care
Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK said Hancock’s claim about a protective ring had been a “cruel lie”.
“the govt knew the care sector was extremely vulnerable to a pandemic and yet did nothing - failing to act until too late”
Will they ever pay for this?

We are spending Ben Delo's £36m donation on producing a new propaganda newspaper, The Reformer. Then we are spending Chris Harborne's £36m donation on the postage bill when everyone sends it back to us one page at a time using the Freepost addresses below:
Care homes were an “afterthought” during the pandemic and government failures caused the virus to spread “like wildfire” among vulnerable and elderly people, the public inquiry has found

The BBC should cut from the top.
Gibb, McAndrew & the right wing stooges in News.
The right wing talking heads like Mason, Kuennsberg, Webb.
Recruiting a techbro was a huge mistake.
My daughter spent her last few days in a hospice and the care she received was phenomenal. It is vital that our loved ones are treated with dignity and compassion. Hospice funding must be a national priority. Please help this cause by signing and sharing this petition.

🚨 WATCH: Undercover footage of Nigel Farage's close aide shows Farage was not supposed to say the £5m gift was for Brexit
"That was not the line to take from the press office. So now the line is 'a thank you for Brexit, to pay for his security for the rest of his life'..."
Tumble weed across legacy media about ITV's exposé of Reform.
Can you imagine the hysteria if an SNP councillor advocated for concentration camps or a Muslim Labour candidate said he wants to shoot MPs he considers traitors? The Mail front pages, Telegraph thinkpieces, and somber Today interviews?
This ITV doc about Reform is basically a feature length parade of pathetic white men being racist and/or misogynistic and expressing violent fantasies against Muslims and other minorities. The sheer number of examples was damning. It should destroy their support. It probably won't.
I’ve written and rewritten this post but all I really have to say is that this ITV doco on Reform makes me deeply sad. Sad that these people live in houses near me. Sad that people are so angry. But mostly sad that they don’t care about how hurtful they are
Naughty ITV, who would have imagined they would do their job? It’s disgraceful.
I know it’s far fetched but imagine if this lawlessness spreads to other media organisations like the BBC.
The Exposure documentary showing undercover footage of many Reform officials being racist and sexist is on ITV at 10.20pm tonight, so whatever you do, don't watch it.
