Funny how quickly 'take back control' disappeared from the Brexit supporting media as British public utilities continued to be sold to the highest UK-tax avoiding foreign bidders ...

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025. They've seen their collective tax bill drop by $95B thanks to two rounds of Trump tax cuts. Meanwhile, tech layoffs in 2026 have already surpassed 2025. Trickle-down economics was always a scam.

Danny Kruger of Reform says the media are smearing Reform to destroy their “respectability”🤣 Yeah but your Councillors happily poured out vile racism, sexism, misogyny, accused King of being Muslim wanting him beheaded, one even dived into talk of incest when they thought they were talking freely 🤷‍♂️

Allowing this dead-company-walking to be bailed out again, instead of taking it into Special Administration and then permanent public ownership, would be a disgrace and a betrayal by the Andy Burnham government Enough is enough.
Graphic with quote from Feargal Sharkey that says "“Thames Water is due to run out of money (again) over the next few weeks. A year and half ago, it was given a £3 billion bailout. Now it is asking for another 2.4 billion. We really are being taken for mugs”

Let’s not forget recently on “Election” tour Farage said “Reform is the only party that will save Britain in the first 100 days of government” Yet after 2 years he still can’t even fix their vetting having pledged to do so in Sept 2024 following fallout from General Election over Candidate racism
