An absolute masterclass in how the UK media platforms and normalises far right politics. This is how Farage wins.

We've had scientists, philosophers, academics, and comedians take on the role of Humanists UK President, but the only musician to take on the role was legendary jazz singer George Melly. So in honour of his memory, and to celebrate #internationaljazzday, here he is in full swing!

It is still too close to call whether the party will secure a majority, as votes are still being counted around the country.

There’s a thriving industry of enablers of tax dodging, advisors etc. and tax evasion by the wealthy costs an estimated £5.6 billion of the tax gap. There’s been an alarming lack of enabler prosecutions www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025...
thebureauinvestigates.com
HMRC prosecutes less than five tax evasion enablers in a year
Legal actions against facilitators stand at next to nothing – and new figures differ wildly from those previously given

A tragedy. What happened to ignore your members at your peril? Many, myself included, will not lend their vote to Labour in future. Our system of representation is not fit for purpose in this era.

OK, gonna throw this spicy bomb out there. If you're fortunate enough to have disposable income, then right now it is your duty to use that income wisely. You have agency over how you spend it and you should own how you spend it. Your decisions do, in fact, affect stock prices of big corporations.

They gave up their dignity and bent the knee, betraying both their customers and their country. And they did it for money. Money they had no need for. The result? They lost billions and billions. The worst deal with the devil ever.
