There’s too much caution about calling Farage and Reform racist. They have no such timidity when they threaten to strip us of our rights and protections, to mass deport people and kill them at sea. They routinely insult, perv, vilify and hate people. You don’t ‘nice’ that away. You call it out.

Bank of England governor walks out of IMF summit in protest against Russia. Sanctimonious tokenism. UK trades and its Crown Dependencies & Overseas Territories trade with Russia. EU buys uranium from Russia. US buying Russian diesel. Sanctions undermined from within. Need different strategies

A would-be Reform UK MP told an undercover reporter that Muslims could not be British and asylum seekers should be put in “concentration camps”. Refers to black children as “animals”. Reform is a party of sleaze, scandals, misogyny and racism, devoid of humanity. Will history repeat itself?

'For Scotland to continue being a key node in Nato would mean being a platform for US and British power-projection. As precedent shows, this entails involvement in disastrous wars with no benefit to the people of Scotland whatsoever.' Simon Rafanell-Williams, via The National archive.is/Z5oEV

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £354m a year tax free from the tax payer including £132m personal spending money and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. Like if he needs a pay cut. RT if you want the Monarchy gone. #NotmyKing

Thames Water asks creditors for another £2.4bn. Up to 30% of TW revenue covers financial costs. Debt spiral deepens problems, it borrowed to pay dividends. Hedge funds funding TW, hoping to asset-strip, hike bills, govt bailout. Let it go bust. Nationalise permanently.

The Sovereign Grant to the King doesn’t count as taxable income. Payments by the state to Britons, such as the state pension, carer’s allowance, contribution-based jobseeker’s allowance, and contribution-based employment and support allowance are taxable. That's the law.

leftfootforward.orgRoyal financial privileges show that we are not in it togetherThis week, after perfunctory scrutiny, the UK parliament approved a core Sovereign Grant of £99.9m (from 2027/28) for the King, a 93% increase from the £51.8m for 2024/25 and 65% higher in real terms ...

So if I’m raped & get pregnant, I have 3 options: 1. Abort & go to prison. 2. Endure pregnancy that was forced on me, give birth & possibly deal with the rapist suing for custody cause he ain’t going to prison. 3. Suicide. Sounds like a war on women to me.

It’s grimly hilarious that our government’s McCarthyist crackdowns on opposition have got so bad, so idiotic and so malicious that they may have now bullshat themselves into prosecuting the national security advisor’s wife for a terrorist offence, over a tweet.

Just shows the power of the authoritarian ratchet, you make one idiotic kneejerk law and can't just undo it and now you are left shooting holes in your feet to make way for an even more totalitarian regime who will make full use of it and its implications

Scotgov need to wake TF up & get us out right now, 300 odd yrs of theft of our resources, deliberately keeping Scots poor, destruction of our industries & now denial of our democratic right to decide. It needs to happen now, not in 5yrs, not in 10yrs, right now. #ScottishIndependenceNow

Scotch Whisky has been extracted from Scotland, for over 200 years. It was the same with Coal. It's the same with Gas, Oil and Renewable Energy. It's going to be same with Water.

Scotland was already promised 'Devomax' in 2014 if we voted No. Instead we got Devoless. Now Burnham is trying to pull the same rug out from beneath us again. Don't get fooled again.

Andy Burnham joked with a crowd in Scotlland today that his 'No.10 North' in Manchester is actually their 'No.10 South'. Speaking in Motherwell, he urged voters to 'move beyond' debates about Scottish independence, saying he wanted to'move on from the old politics of conflict'.

People are very unhappy in France as they are in many places. There are no opportunities for young people, Education is unaffordable, Rent is extortionate, buying a house impossible, decent jobs don't exist. All while billionaires become trillionaires. People are sick of it.

Folks, I know it’s easy to get excited about all the polls showing Democrats ahead and feel like this election is a done deal. But we can’t take anything for granted. That’s why I’m urging you to take part in a No Kings early voting event today where you live. https://www.nokings.org/

I applaud Rabbi Mohsie Inge for saying this & I repeat this until I'm blue in the face. ''Zionism is fuck all to do with Jewish identity & it is NOT every Jewish person's ideology''. Netenyahu is nothing more than a dictator & needs removed from office to allow Israel to learn about compassion.

Many, many Scots have long woken up to the fact that BBC Scotland is nothing more than propaganda for UK govt, if you listen to it you'd think Scotland was the worst place in the world to live, never has a good word to say about scotgov mitigating a lot of the 🐂💩 WM has imposed on us.

BBC Scotland is not really hiding the fact that it’s just another arm of the UK establishment. Live broadcasting Andy Burnham’s speech while not providing live coverage of the SNP conference. Shameful and brazen.

American educator, Jane Elliott, did an experiment & asked an audience, 'hands up if you'd be happy to be treated the same way as black people.' No response! Same here, ask Israelis if they'd be happy to be treated the same as Palestinians. They know, they all know, what's happening to them.

'We have an economy shaped by manipulative, narcissistic sociopaths. I mean literally – one in 20 members of the public are probably sociopaths, but among CEOs it is one in five. Being a sociopath is lucrative when your economy is sociopathic.' Robin McAlpine, via Common Weal
