Outrageous that Trump is trying to bully Britain into handing over more NHS cash to big US pharma. Keir Starmer should put the NHS and the interests of British patients above his attempts to cosy up to Trump. Scrap this bad deal now!

MPs’ basic salary to rise to £110,000 by end of parliament, watchdog says. This should be accompanied by a total ban on second jobs, which in most cases is a corporate bribe. Must end all conflict of interests. Being a MP is a full time job. MPs must act exclusively as MPs.

From yesterday's Observer.

Christopher who?

In May, a party founded eight years ago, with no record in national government and only eight MPs, will fight elections in Wales and Scotland, and for control of councils across England, with every chance of winning many of them. British politics is being reshaped by Reform UK. This is a result of Nigel Farage's personality and of Christopher Harborne's money - £9m, from a fortune amassed largely through cryptocurrency investments. The party would not be able to field candidates, run social media operations or door-to-door campaigns if it weren't for the Harborne war chest. There is a template for crypto-funded campaigning - in the US, where it is viewed as having led to securing crypto-friendly legislation and sweetheart deals to enrich crypto charlatans and undermine transparency and accountability in politics.

Reform threatens to destroy the Conservatives as a party of government and divide communities, increasingly along ethnic lines and with overtly racist arguments. It also poses the most serious threat to Keir Starmer's government, Harborne lives in Thailand and owns a 12% stake in the Tether stablecoin. Little else is known about this intensely private man. Yet he can influence the course of politics, seemingly without either much of a business or life in the UK. It's a lot like overseas interference in British democracy.

Didn't someone once say: "Take back control"?

A social media graphic from EveryDoctor on a blue background with a red diagonal banner. At the top, a QR code sits next to the text "Read our new report →". A bold red banner in the center features the figure "£523 million." Below this, a white text box states: "That’s how much private investors extracted from NHS hospital PFI contracts in just five years. Those same trusts need £565m in urgent repairs."
