Sarah Pochin raised "concerns" in parliament about the impact of second homes on rural communities. Two days later she purchased an £800,000 second home on Anglesey. Remarkable stuff. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A suspended sentence. For possession of 114,000+ indecent images of children 3-5 years old. Not one protest from Tommy and chums. Not one from people who have "reasonable concerns". This happens *all the time* and is ignored. I think we all know why.

From Scotland to Northumberland, Blackpool to Leicestershire, Reform contested six by-elections yesterday. They lost all six. Six contests. Six defeats. Reform are not inevitable. Their bubble has burst😉 Have a great weekend comrades! #NoFascists #RightWingLosers #FailingFarage

Your #5OClockInspiration ... Just a reminder of what the Tories did in the UK in 14 years of chaos, corruption and incompetence. It will take a long time for the UK to recover.

Google has started updating satellite images of Gaza. Holocaust. (📸 Barry Andrews MEP, European Parliament)
A single building is left standing amidst utter carnage. Every single building has been levelled across a few square miles pictures. Google maps identified one pile of rubble as a school.

August: Fewest 'Small Boat' Crossings since 2018 🔻46%. Lowest Migrant Arrivals since 2020 🔻35%. 48,000+ attempts stopped, 1,100 boats & engines seized by joint UK/France Action. Maybe the violent thugs demanding the UK Government 'take action' should STFU while the UK Government takes action.

Sheffield councillor Robert Hanson left Reform after he saw the rot behind the facade. Now he's urging others not to be taken in. Reform is haemorrhaging councillors at a rate of 1 every 3 days since May. We're tracking them all: bestforbritain.org/reform-uk-defect…

Tory Chris Philp is a lying toe rag, using rhetoric and lies to incite hatred. Illegal immigrants cannot claim benefits, period. He knows this. But those he intends to enrage, do not. And he knows this as well.
