Blyth Reform councillor Barry Elliott's property firms owe customers ยฃ140,000 - BBC News Property companies owned or run by Barry Elliott owe tens of thousands of pounds to customers.

I'm not saying that all Reform leaders are crooks and wannabee billionaires
but they do praise Nigel Farage, who has 12 paying jobs, and is suspected of home-buying tax-avoidance ...

Shabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them.

What the fuck are we?

Mahmoodโ€™s new asylum plan: when home is โ€˜safeโ€™, weโ€™ll send you back | The Observer

Such nauseating shamelessness.

Feeling physically sick to hear on the news Shabana Mahmood saying that โ€œillegal migration is tearing the country apartโ€ which she must know is not true. Whatโ€™s โ€œtearing the country apartโ€ is the cynical entrepreneurs of fear and hate who have gleefully pushed this non-issue.

In Nov 2024, Keir Starmer announced a working partnership with US asset manager Blackrock, who own $11 trillion in assets.

Their endgame?
To turn green spaces into 'natures assets'. Your local park could become a tokenised asset.
Access may become conditional on fees or corporate permission.

The Epstein coverup will go down as one of the greatest scandals and miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.

Everyone involved with Epsteinโ€™s victims or with the coverup needs to be prosecuted and go down in shame.

It does not matter if they are GOP or Dems!
