Let’s be very clear, what the U.K. actually needs is a fair voting system, fair donation laws & most importantly a media that can actually keep us honestly informed. @Keir_Starmer promised change so it’s time he started to deliver on these critical issues. Time for Leveson 3!

Just let this sink in! Pro-Israel lobbyists have donated to 13 out of Labour’s 25 cabinet members since they were first elected to parliament. Our Government has been bought and their actions reflect it! www.declassifieduk.org/israel-lobby...

There is something very wrong in a society when all the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a very few people! Chillingly it means these people have ultimate control & the power to influence & determine Government policy across the whole world..this is beyond dystopian it’s “1984” on steroids!
