Professional grifter who never had a proper job in his worthless life, and does sweet FA as an MP will force unemployed youths with ADHD into work, whilst slashing the minimum wage.. Multimillionaire Farage is sooo of the people 🤬

Farage says he will now vote against scrapping the two-child limit. In case it benefits “foreign-born people”. It’s not just the racism, it’s the out-of-control personal greed, combined with the staggering meanness. He’s a repulsively inadequate man. www.thetimes.com/article/0ab2...
Ministers introduced legislation in the Commons yesterday to end the ban on paying some benefits to large fami-lies. They say that this will take almost half a million children out of poverty.
Farage, leader of Reform UK, told a press conference on Wednesday that his party would vote against scrapping the two-child limit, despite having previously suggested he could back the change. He said he was concerned that it would "benefit huge numbers of foreign-born people".

We really need to get all primary public services back into public ownership: trains, buses, water, energy. Including the internal parts of the NHS that have been privatised. We are pouring our money always into private businesses to run these essential services who just rip us off.

1/ MONEY. Elon has 100x the financial resources Trump has. He’s the largest donor in the history of the party Trump leads by a factor of ten; Trump can’t (and wouldn’t even if he could) replace the loss of Musk as a GOP donor. Trump is also _far_ greedier than Musk; $1 to Musk is like $100 to Trump.

While Tory MPs chase fare dodgers around for a few quid, billions in wasteful PPE spending is being uncovered. Perhaps if Robert Jenrick wants to catch who's really robbing the country blind, he should look within.

This morning I found a plectrum in the toaster. No idea how it got there. I live with two toaster avoidant boys. I haven’t used that colour plectrum since 2019. So either the house is haunted… or post tour brain is real. Have you got a “how did that get there?” moment. I can’t be the only one.

Canada learned the hard way that Trump can’t be trusted to keep to his deals. With British farming, online safety and our NHS at stake, Keir Starmer must stop dodging the issue and give Parliament a vote on any Trump trade deal.
