Farage having a total “establishment stitch-up” wettie about being scrutinised for his corrupt links and handouts from a convicted fraudster while Jenrick insists Farage “will be Britain’s next prime minister.” No. You don’t get to tantrum your way to power. app.independent.co.uk/2026/07/05/3...
UK has a high rate of infant mortality compared with peer countries. 5-year-olds 7cm shorter than children of the same age in Europe. 1m children in England referred to mental health services. Child poverty results in economic loss of £40bn a year. Yet no govt plan to eradicate poverty.
Trump’s $2bn bonanza heralds the rise of political grifters across the west. Political office is the key to riches as power/influence traded. Nigel Farage using the Trump model in the UK. Personal riches whilst neglecting parliament duties. Must end political corruption for a better future.
ITV agrees sale of media and entertainment business to Sky for up to £1.6bn, awaits regulatory approval. Bad idea to let conglomerates own multiple TV stations. Expect job cuts, more repeats, cancellation of shows, fewer independent progs. How long before free-to-air TV vanishes?
Private equity controls large parts of UK economy & public services. It is opaque, lacks transparency and accountability. PE conceals ownership, uses complex structures, financial engineering: shifts profits offshore, engages in tax abuse Little information Company law is not fit-for-purpose.
View from 🇬🇧, having spent decades as a criminal lawyer including prosecuting. I cannot tell you how shocked I am at the handling of the investigations (or not) into these two killings. I don’t know how 🇺🇸 will recover from what looks like state corruption this deep & at a very senior level
Labour's Stella Creasy calls for a cap of £100,000 on donations Do you want to know why Labour's Samantha Dixon refuses to cap donations? Keir Starmer's Labour accepted £4 million from an offshore firm - Quadrature Capital - in the Cayman Islands for the 2024 General Election
Whitehall is advising Burnham to spend his early political capital on Brussels, not Washington – a direct rejection of Starmer’s Trump strategy The source added that ministers had “backed the wrong horse” by betting on closer ties with the US, believing it would unlock a major technology deal.
I’m doing a talk today at the local Women’s Institute on ‘Fluids I Have Known & Loved.’ But Bunty & I stayed up all night for the England match. I’m cream crackered😴 Bunty has been using her fan on me & Jill has been feeding me her high protein baps. Any ideas for a pick me up?
👉 NEW — Foreign minister swerves questions about Britons fighting for Israel By Phil Miller, Alex Morris & Hanna-Johara Dokal Minister Hamish Falconer ran through traffic in Whitehall when asked why his government allows British citizens to fight in Gaza www.declassifieduk.org/foreign-mini...
Bad news for Kyiv with 4 districts affected by the most recent 🇷🇺 bombing wave with the death toll rising to 11, with 46 injured. 🇺🇦 needs an urgent supply of 🇺🇸 Patriot missiles and the suspicion is that this was leaked to 🇷🇺 that is taking advantage of the hole in defences Which country leaked it?
Declassified researched two years of reporting by seven British media outlets and found only 16 mentions of the phrase Israel lobby without speech marks. Why don’t UK media mention the Israel lobby? Because they’re part of it. www.declassifieduk.org/why-dont-uk-...
There's much chatter about the established media now starting to 'turn' on Nigel Farage and Reform UK, following a number of by-election defeats and questionable gifts/donations. Farage has *always* been in need of scrutiny. That the press now decide to turn the lens on him is part of the story.
Farage’s convicted criminal ally George Cottrell handed out business cards with Farage's email address despite having no official role in Reform. Robert Jenrick claims that Cottrell is a simply a personal friend of Farage, well this new information completely contradicts that
🌿☕ Morning ☀️ Lots of coffee required this morning.. Saturday becomes a tricky one for me England v Norway, would have preferred them not to meet 💥🇳🇴🏴 Today I am going to pin back some roses & don my "long gloves" to remove brambles.. Have a lovely day 🌹 🌹 🌹 #bloomscrolling #hangover #football
Latest episode in the series of Nigel’s dodgy donations - what can we say. More undisclosed donations, more rules breached - Nigel will surely say so what, and what business is it of ours….that’s his privilege speaking, the private educated core of the 'man of the people' facade. buff.ly/0jXujGs
The elderly are fighting for your free speech while billionaires fund yet another manufactured culture war. They weaponize age so you hate your granny instead of looking up at the 1% driving the housing & cost-of-living crisis. It’s all a distraction. Wake up. #UK #FreeSpeech #GenerationalWar
For Kindle Day — whatever that is — Amazon has arbitrarily decided my first novel is 99p. If you like a bargain, buy it today. Or support the author, and buy it tomorrow when it's £4.99. Or just don't buy it at all. Why are you asking me? You're a bloody adult. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0FK...
And the NATO Treaty definitely does NOT promote engaging in an illegal war and definitely NOT with a country outside its orbit… The very idea that doing the reverse of the NATO Treaty aims constitutes “loyalty” in Bonespurs Trump’s mind (& his stupid Iran war) points to the bonespurs in his head.
