The core Sovereign Grant for King Charles from public purse will rise to £99.9m (from 2027/28). 93% increase from £51.8m in 2024/25. 65% higher in real terms than in 2016/17. Did your income rise at that rate? 25.3m people live below minimum income standard. We are in it all together, aren't we

Royal financial privileges show that we are not in it together
This week, after perfunctory scrutiny, the UK parliament approved a core Sovereign Grant of £99.9m (from 2027/28) for the King, a 93% increase from the £51.8m for 2024/25 and 65% higher in real terms ...

Why is a retired banjo playing, public school nepo-baby on the BBC's flagship Newsnight commenting on the Red Wall? And why no mention that: Winston Marshall only has a political platform because his Dad is billionaire Paul Marshall... owner of GB NEWS and the Spectator.

Target pensions or welfare, don't tax banks, neoliberal IMF tells UK Chancellor. Silence on corporate welfare, bank subsidies and profiteering; poverty, equitable distribution of income and wealth. Sacrificing the old, poor, sick to the gods of fiscal rules, so that banks are not inconvenienced.

At this point Israeli government-backed mobs assaulting journalists in the West Bank is a routine occurrence. It belies any claim that the U.S. promotes democracy by financing the army that stands by and allows these attacks to occur.

I know loads of people still don’t want to admit this, but sanctioning settlers alone doesn’t do much. These terrorists are literally backed by the entirety of the state of Israel. The IDF was there throughout this pogrom and stood by. They always do this.

The Palestinians routinely victimized by settlers should be no less important but it’s hard to miss here that the photojournalist a bunch of them savagely beat is named Heidi Levine — almost certainly an American Jew. The story says she’s a 64 years old woman Staggering levels of impunity

Impunity provided by all parties across the West, by the way. Never forget that Shireen Abu Akleh was assassinated by an Israeli soldier and the USG, under the Biden administration, buried the report which concluded that it was purposeful and deferred to Israel when it exonerated itself.

Israeli soldiers received orders to drop heavy bombs on populated areas in the Gaza Strip without evacuating them. The massacre in Jabalia killed over 250 Palestinians. The U.S. sent Israel 2,000 lb. bombs via the UK for Israel to carry out these massacres.

The BBC is already giving Nigel Farage coverage for a speech he hasn’t even delivered. Report on what he says tomorrow, by all means. But previewing it now gives him free publicity and lets him set the agenda before anyone can scrutinise his words.

One of Arsene’s biggest contributions was the term ‘financial doping’. Joe Cole says it’s not like real doping. But it is. Doping is where an individual gives their body an unfair physical advantage. Financial doping is where a team gives their collective an unfair advantage.

Russia has been at war with Britain for years and the EU referendum was an open goal which they exploited. That doesn't mean that "Putin made Brexit happen" but his troll farms and media operations certainly played a part Brexiters may hate to hear it but to deny it is to deny a dangerous reality.
