Your weekend reminder that Nigel Farage wants to - leave the ECHR - repeal the Equality Act - Strip back workers rights - Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts - repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes no fault evictions He is not on your side youtu.be/KxOQRt8PQys?...

Anyone else remember when Starmer started to purge the Labour party of anyone left of Centre persuasion? How could we forget? No surprise to me that Burnham seems to be repeating the process. A Labour cllr (past 6 yrs) has defected because he has not been allowed to stand 4 labour in his own seat🤔

For non-soccer fans: this scandal is basically a microcosm of what is going on everywhere re: the ultra-wealthy doing whatever they want because they can. Man City cheated like hell. But here is the prime minister implying they’re just too valuable to the UK to hold to account. It sucks

Andy Burnham admits to ‘concern’ if Manchester City lose their owners after guilty verdicts
The primer minister said: ‘City have been a huge partner in building modern Manchester,’ while the Independent Football Regulator said it is monitoring the case

Nigel Farage publishing a fake 'interview' talking to an empty room shows how deeply terrified populists are of real scrutiny. Regurgitating debunked myths about EU law and the euro to block discussion on single market access is desperate. Why keep falling for these lies? (1/2) 🤔 #FBPE

Can you imagine if you owed 40% in Income Tax and you just paid 21%, and nothing happened. Year after year after year. Would never happen, but if you are a billionaire it's just normal.

In Luxembourg the average state pension for 40 years of contributions is nearly 4x higher than in the U.K. Far from being unaffordable the UK State pension is a joke, what is unaffordable is the tax evasion which leaves us with so little money to spend.

Reminder Corporation tax in the UK is 25%. The actual average amount paid is just 13.1%. Because they use a million tax breaks, it costs £80bn a year. But they NEVER talk about this unaffordable tax avoidance by billionaires.

Even if you're not a hardcore Greenie, electing Zack Polanski would make UK politics more healthy because he would help to hold Andy Burnham's government to account. His influence from the periphery has already improved Labour policies. The Commons needs Polanski, so please help him to get elected.

I think once black clad men are interfering with rescues at sea, we are past "legitimate concerns". Once they're attacking boats, and risking the lives of everyone on board, it's just thuggery. The Home Secretary's statement is on the side of criminals. There's no other way to read it.
