Trump's closing message for Republicans ahead of the midterms: Bigotry and bragging about how expensive food is at his private club. Democrats' closing message ahead of the midterms: Accountability, affordability, and shifting the balance of power towards working people. Vote accordingly.

“The rent is too high, the schools aren’t good enough, there aren’t enough jobs”: author and journalist @masumaahuja.bsky.social on why the generation inheriting this impossible world is taking to the streets

“80% of donations to Reform UK in the past 12 months have come from donors or companies recently based overseas…Labour & the Tories received just 0.15% & 3.57% of their donations from people or companies based abroad respectively during the same period.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Apart from Reform and the Tories… Jenrick cannot *ever* be honest about freedom of movement. He was a Tory immigration minister who oversaw a record high in net migration and who voted Remain in 2016. His whole political career is built on scheming bullshit. www.independent.co.uk/voices/andy-...

Not true... Racist Liars... BTW if you are not a UK resident only basic emergency treatment is free, "expensive operations" are charged for! #NHS

This is getting interesting….

The Lib Dems have the best plan to fix our broken water system. Why doesn’t Andy Burnham use it?

Susanna Reid, "Why have you brought up rejoining the European Union?" Andy Burnham, "We have a decade of experience now looking back at Brexit, and I don't think it has played out as people said at the time"

No outrage over white rapists, just far fewer black/brown ones No protests against migrant crossings rising under Tories, anger as crossings fall under Labour Support Brexit 'take back control', no problem foreign billionaires owning most UK public utilities Ever wonder why? meme via Angel Stroyan

WTF - WHY has BBC News channel dropped everything and gone live to cover a Farage speech?

“While each of us (voted Brexit) for different reasons, we all believed that the UK could do a better job of running its own affairs than *unelected officials* in Brussels could." Ben Houchen... November 2020 Six years later 👇👇👇

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

It is budget week. We are calling for a budget that cuts the costs of living. The Chancellor must listen to our plans, so households across Britain have the support they need. @libdemdaisy.bsky.social

Nigel Farage says Brexit gave us our "country back" But is OK with "71% of shares in England's nine privatised water companies are owned by organisations from overseas" He lied "Share with those who voted Brexit, did you get your country back or has it gone missing again?" via Love not Hate

Not sure this is the vote winner he thinks it is:

📊 Research estimates that Brexit has led to shortfall on annual tax receipts of about £40bn. 🤔 Imagine what that money could do for our schools, our new generation of council housing, or for our armed forces...

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

Reform and Tories have pledged to reverse ULEZ repeatedly.

Writers Guild speaks out about tech platforms squashing the @alexgibneyfilm doc about Elon Musk: “A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration threatens democratic discourse.”

I'm watching knutsberg on bbc, trying to give Angela Rayner a hard time, and failing miserably. Will watch her giving reform an open mike session as usual.

Almost half of the world's wealth is held by 1.5 per cent of the adult population, as anger grows over living costs and public services

🇺🇸 "Who among the democratic governments of western Europe, in the Elysée, in the German and Polish chancelleries, in Brussels or in Downing Street, can now trust a word that comes out of Washington? Its bond is broken, its honour in shreds."
