It's been exactly a year since PPE Medpro missed the deadline to pay our NHS back for the £200m squandered on unusable PPE during Covid. Not a single penny has been recovered and Michelle Mone who referred MedPro, is still sitting (and getting paid) in the House of Lords. WHY?

It's called #Monarchy

The Duchy of Cornwall owned the by Prince of Wales is a giant business organization It is exempt from corporation and capital gains tax, uses infrastructure funded by others to make profit. Inevitably, leads to unfair competition and free-rider problem.

@bbcstever.bsky.social How's this being reported in Russia? Are Russians happy their oil is being sold to the USA? Do they feel they're winning against Ukraine?

Here's a parody about the price of gas having soared (with everything else) since the Iran war, called "Gasoline". It's adapted from the classic "Jolene" by the incredible Dolly Parton who sadly died a few weeks ago, but left an incredible legacy of music, generosity & heart ❤️ youtu.be/WhwPBlI4u0A

Jeez. By now even Larry the cat knows it was Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal which caused the skyrocketing number of small boat crossings in the English Channel

my groundbreaking investigation has found that Andy Burnham ran the great north run in Brooks Ghost 18s. while a competent daily trainer that provides stability and cushioning for easy miles, it is no way a race shoe. it lacks energy return and is too heavy for race day. Andy Burnham must resign.

Any chance @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social pick up on Teesworks Freeport story as discussed in Private Eye magazine?

EuropeanPowell@europeanpowell.bsky.social

The Teesworks Freeport accounts are a disaster. Auditors are refusing to sign them off. STDC carries £420m in debt. There are no formal contracts covering any of it. This is an absolute free zones scandal, and the MSM won't touch it. Why? 🧵 europeanpowell.substack.com/p/the-deregu...

The outbreak has come against the backdrop of severe aid cuts and a brutal conflict. As the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak takes lives at a rate faster than any previous outbreaks, the international response must focus on 'speed, scale and solidarity.' Learn more: www.trocaire.org/news/fightin... 1/2

Allowing betting companies to get such a hold on our screens, high streets and in people's homes was an appalling political decision: the monetisation of hope and the profiteering off disappointment and despair.
