Britain’s biggest housebuilder urges government to support first-time buyers Taylor Wimpey chief Jennie Daly calls for revival of help-to-buy equity loan scheme to revive property market

Britain’s biggest housebuilder urges government to support first-time buyers.

Not a word about cutting profit margins, ever rising profits, gobbling previous stamp duty support, building substandard homes, builders secretly exchanging data to hike prices.

Since Trump’s ‘ceasefire’, Israel killed 900 Palestinians in Gaza. In the West Bank, 691 Palestinians were kidnapped during 1,503 invasions. If the victims had been Israelis, the Western media would have been (rightly) protesting these pogroms. Now? A guilty silence prevails (Yanis Varoufakis)

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

At the end of it "they" will have extracted a great deal of money from the common purse and the structures that constrain them from further looting will be much weaker
A weakened democratic government is much more attractive to them than a strong dictator

That's true, but they'll blame others for their own demise.

Thames Water tried to make MP pay its legal fees of up to £1,400 an hour Exclusive: Charlie Maynard accuses the utility of ‘retaliation’ over his push for government to gain control of company

Thames Water tried to make MP pay its legal fees of up to £1,400 an hour, he asked the Court to put TW into special administration.

Blatant attempt to silence MPs.

TW paying £200m a year to advisers, charges customers for its failures.

Abuses will continue until execs held personally liable.

While on a rainy walk with Michele, this evening.

Recent events have heightened the concerns of Bectu members about the direction of the BBC and its future. Staff are concerned about the forthcoming Charter Review amid open speculation about the future funding model. They are unsurprisingly anxious about entering this process with a vacuum of leadership and without a new Director General in place. And they are concerned about the BBC’s ability to resist partisan political pressure and uphold the integrity of its journalism. “It is vital that staff feel that both the government and the BBC board are truly committed to the future of the organisation, its mission, its independence and its values. Given this, we believe that the position of Sir Robbie Gibb on the BBC board has become a distraction and is untenable. We simply do not see how staff can have faith in the BBC’s leadership while a crucial position on the board is filled by someone perceived by many staff and external commentators as sympathetic to, or actively part of, a campaign to undermine the BBC and influence its political impartiality.”

How Palantir infiltrated the state At a moment of national emergency, the government handed our data to Peter Thiel’s controversial company

Peter Thiel is in the Epstein emails, enjoying himself.

Peter Thiel is an overt, convinced, outspoken Nazi.

Peter Thiel's company is being paid by the UK government to crawl all over YOUR personal data.

Oswald Mosley's grandson runs his UK operation.

You can't make it up.

Such a pity that frontline NHS staff aren’t given the space in newspapers to air their thoughts, as Streeting is. The NHS is currently missing around 100,000 staff. It’s no surprise when they’re bashed continually for fighting for fair working conditions🚨

Poverty is a policy decision.

Concentrated wealth is a policy decision.

Inequality is a policy decision.

Remember this.

Considering how RWL clique savaged his unsuccessful 2015 manifesto as wildly left-wing, while ignoring the fact the party's poor showing was due to the wipeout of the ultra-Blairites in Scotland, I don't really fancy his chances of becoming leader again given their present dominance in the Party

GB- We want to keep £
EU- You can keep your own currency
GB- We pay in too much (Thatcher's handbag)
EU- Have a rebate
GB- We are worried about sovereignty
EU-GB can opt out of regs that impinge on sovereignty
GB- We don't want to be members but want to continue using the club's facilities
EU- Hmmm

Pretty much the same as neoclassical economics then, with western politicians squabbling over non-existent solutions to the destruction its acolytes wreak

Trump did the thing, everyone knows he did the thing, and he's got an entire political party and associated media apparatus trying to cover up his clear involvement in the thing. One of the sickest, most sordid chapters in an especially sick and sordid period of modern American history.

Very good read

Basque - Emotional welcome to the Palestinian national football team, who will play against the Basque Country in San Mames Bilbao on Saturday

All proceeds from the match will go to fund humanitarian aid, the reconstruction of Gaza and the urgent needs of the Palestinian people

Stickers being put on Israeli products in supermarkets 'Israel has REDUCED Gaza to rubble.'

Sorry kids, greens fantasy politics don't add up

And today it's the turn of The Times to try and patronise us all.

Every single day the right wing establishment tries to close ranks.

And every day we are growing.

If the government wants to raise school readiness it must scrap the 2 child benefit cap & raise the family benefit cap
That would lift about 2.5m children out of poverty
Those in the poorest quintile are a whole year behind developmentally on starting nursery
Parenting in poverty is nigh impossible

#BREAKING | A recently released Palestinian woman reported being sexually assaulted four times and filmed naked while in Israeli custody after being abducted from the Gaza Strip, according to a statement by the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR).

Opposing genocide is the moral duty of our time.

Yet Palestine Action activists have been held in prison for over a year without trial. Six are now on hunger strike.

Detaining peaceful protesters under counter-terror powers is indefensible. This is political imprisonment in all but name.

✡️🇵🇸 THOUSANDS of orthodox Jews have taken to the streets in New York City to protest against the state of Israel.

55,000 Orthodox Jews protested in Manhattan against Israel and its deviant army.

Israel is not a Jewish state.

Meet the real welfare queens

Tim Davie the man who somehow turned the “trusted public broadcaster” into a reality-show version of itself. Under his watch, the BBC became a delicate balancing act of trying not to offend politicians while somehow offending everyone else🤬

Can Nigel Farage emulate success enjoyed by Italy’s far-right Giorgia Meloni? Reform’s leader may hope to tread a similar path to Italy’s prime minister, but she is an experienced parliamentarian open to collaboration and compromise

Quite honestly, emulation is Nigel's only hope. He has nothing of his own, he copies the other bullies. #PoundShopMussolini www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
