Honestly, this Labour government are utterly fucking dreadful Just get 'em out
Jon Kay to Jonathan Reynolds: "You're planning to remove import taxes from products like chocolate, gherkins, marmalade. Your own figures say that will save the average household 40p a week. At a time when [bills] are going up, do you really think people are going to notice 40p a week?"
Why isn't the CEO of Deloitte prosecuted? I did hear that Cyprus were after him. Wherever he claims to reside, they need to act. And they say crime doesn't pay. ๐คจ
CEO of scandal-ridden Deloitte gets 45% pay rise to ยฃ7.1m, 1,360 jobs cut. CEO pay = 93 times median employee pay. Firm doesn't pay employer NIC on profits shared by partners, worth ยฃ150,000 for ยฃ1m profit shared. ยฃ899m shared. 108 govt contracts in 2026, worth ยฃ650m. Friends in high places.
Well that didn't take long. Labour risk our lives on AI an uncontrollable technology. When AI goes public, by investing in it you will throw your money away. You'd have to be insane.

I warned 3 years ago that mink farms are a likely route to a new and horrific human pandemic, and once more I'm fervently praying it doesn't map out that way. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Wild new story from @natlash.bsky.social Bird flu has been raging uncontrolled on a mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials havenโt acted, instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade. www.propublica.org/article/bird...

Nigel Farageโs attack on the RNLI and co is a new low even for this bottom-feeder. He wants to prosecute anyone who saves lives of people that he doesn't like. Desperate Farage diverts attention from investigations by pledging laws that can't work. archive.ph/5UYnG/
Trump hasn't long left. Candidates for his replacement are lining up hoping to be an even worse President than him. GOP may be relying on Musk's IT interventions, to achieve the votes. Fortunately outside new technology will reveal vote tampering and those involved. www.bbc.co.uk/news/technol...
Labour MPs must stop being so spineless. Agreed Burnham is to some degree untested as to whether he will be as draconian to his own MPs as Starmer, but they must stop policies which add to Climate Breakdown and infringe people's human rights. They need to persuade Burnham to make the ethical choice.

Anglian Water fined puny ยฃ1.6M for polluting 14km of River Brain. Ignored alarms telling them that sewage was being dumped. Highest levels of toxic ammonia. AW has numerous criminal convictions. No exec prosecuted, licence to operate not cancelled. Fleecing normalized.

Labour is gaslighting.
Krishnan Guru-Murthy asks about the receipts from oil and gas going into Labour's Energy Wealth Fund, Tessa Khan, "The OBR made a forecast before the price spikes caused by the Iran war that by 2030, the tax take from the North Sea oil and gas sector, will be ยฃ0.1 billion" Labour is gaslighting

My colleague @sianberry.bsky.social is spot on. I know many Labour MPs know the Home Secretary's plans on indefinite leave to remain are cruel and unfair. Now is the time for decent MPs to stand up.
Sir David Attenborough adopts a non partisan approach to combating ecocide. He backed individuals like Caroline Lucas in past years but reminds us, ecology is a science. We have to stop ecocide and survive. Ecology is bigger than politics. We all need to be on board to save life not least human. ๐

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...
Not just that but will they tell porkies about how their anti environmental policy will help the cost of living or bring down energy prices in the UK?
Will Labour next week in the budget tell us sad stories about "difficult decisions" and how there's "no money left?" Or will this Labour Government challenge the broken economic thinking that has lead us to this place? And tax the assets of multimillionaires & billionaires? ๐

First Healey approves expansion of Heathrow which no one wants and now Burnham approves a new gas field in the North Sea in breach of COP agreement to faster phase out fossil fuels. The Greens asked to see the impact assessments. It is believed either IA's have not been done or willfully ignored.
Here we go again: UK Chancellor John Healey says Heathrow expansion will go ahead after "years of delay" - a deceitful framing that implies this project that almost no one wants is somehow inevitable.
