"....almost half of Keir Starmer’s cabinet, 13 out of 31 members, have received funding from pro-Israel groups. Foreign policy is being influenced and undermined – not by overt corruption, but by the subtle sway of financial ties and the sense of obligation they create."

'Revolving door' between politics and lobbying rings transparency alarm bell Lobbying has become big business, with around 727 lobbyists registered in the national capital, more than three times the number of elected officials sitting in parliament.

This is how broken our lobbying laws are.

Every resources minister since 2001 went on to work for fossil fuel companies & 8 ex-ministers & senior advisers now lobby for gambling💰

It's time for complete reform of lobbying rules + independent watchdog.

Excerpt from letter, on posh yellow paper, "Unite the Union has proposed a 1% tax on individuals with assets exceeding £4M. According to their estimates, this measure could generate up to £25 billion annually..."

Got a letter from my MP!
(Rachel Maskell, York Central).
Hadn't heard of UNITE's idea before now.

Australia taxes foreign property buyers more than it taxes Australians.

Funny how ithis policy didn't stop the economy growing.

2035 is a future year, specifically 10yrs from now

In need of a GP appt, I open the NHS App, speak to My Companion GP but sadly the next available appointment with AI GP is 3weeks from now.

Good news GPs are available at £200 an appt today - thanks Labour & the 10yr plan 2025 - all sorted!

Saw this on FB from David Attenborough. “Wolves were woven into the fabric of tribal life…where people and animals lived in close relationship…reminding us that respect & kinship once defined the way we walked among other living beings.” Puppies are being slaughtered!! 😢

As Floods Hit, Key Roles Were Vacant at Weather Service Offices in Texas

The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

As Floods Hit, Key Roles Were Vacant at Weather Service Offices in Texas

The “warning coordination meteorologist” at the local NWS FO left on April 30, after taking the early retirement package the Trump administration used to reduce the number of federal employees.

Nuff said.

Greens have long pushed for Medicare‑funded dental as an equity measure since 2010; in 2025 Labor instead expanded the Child Dental Benefits Schedule, boosting support for kids 2–17 and concession‑card holders, rather than a broader phased rollout #auspol

From 2021 Greens senators called for an independent AUKUS review over cost, sovereignty and transparency, framing it as strategic overreach, language Turnbull echoed when he labelled the pact a “dud deal” #auspol

"The government sacrificed sovereignty to get security & it looks like we're going to lose both."

@turnbullmalcolm.bsky.social & @emmashortis.bsky.social lay out the problems with the AUKUS deal.

"The only people we can truly count on are each other: Australians." #auspol

Remember these people - already starved and weak- are forced to walk up to 10km to pick up this food and carry it back to wherever they have managed to make a temporary home

How much does every one of those fighter jet flights supporting Israeli genocide cost? Scrap them. How much has Starmer earmarked for new killing machines? Scrap that.

Do what the people want, not what your corporate masters demand.

I was told by a chap today, who is in a position to know with some certainty (I know that’s vague but it was not Richard Marles…OK) that if America chooses to bomb Iran with its own aircraft that US bombers could be deployed from their bases in Australia.

"No Western media outlet has even asked this."

It was certainly much easier for politicians to trick their citizens about wars - when we didn't have independent and social media - and they could control the channels where we receive our information. Now we're in control - and can see exactly what's going on #auspol

The Ninth Circuit won't even hold a hearing on this until Tuesday. So apparently you get (at least) five free days of "illegally deploying troops domestically" as a little treat.

I am happy to do this, furthermore, cold pizza is fine and reheated in the air fryer is good too.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

Ask the Americans and the Israelis, Australians have no idea.
