This is indeed a paradox

The 'Great Noticing' Era Ever since Labour came to power, the British media has started to notice a whole series of problems they spent the previous 14 years completely ignoring

It’s as if they think we’ve all been in a coma for the last 15 years, rather than watching the Tories smash it all up in front of us.

Very good on our ‘let’s-not-bother-with-right-wing-racism-or-Farage’s-corruption-and-let’s-blame-Labour-for-everything’ media.

Over two million households under Reform-run councils are about to get hammered with £127 million in tax hikes - after Farage swore he’d cut bills. The man is a walking scam, flogging lies while everyone else foots the bill.

Reform’s shambolic Kent experiment The catastrophic mess at Kent County Council shows what happens when a populist party, with no idea how government works, gets into power

“Hardly any of the newly-elected Reform councillors had experience of local government…a surprising number list no other source of income at all – they are not retirees but people of working age. They found themselves overseeing a council budget of £2.6bn.”

Obviously no knowledge of #PPE & #VIP lanes scandals. etc etc etc🤮

21 out of 33 Conservative shadow ministers in the Lords have paid jobs outside Parliament.

Shadow ministers paid to ‘advise’ the same industries they’re meant to scrutinise. Conflict of interest institutionalized. Paymasters served.

Can't get good society without ending political bribery.

This year, Labour increased the minimum wage for all workers at well above inflation.

But they increased it even MORE for younger workers.

They aim to get the rates the same for all ages.

But Reform want the opposite - to reduce the minimum wage for younger people.

Support Labour. Oppose Reform.

Wales 'hurt hardest' by Brexit as politician warns: 'We are in a mess' The EU remains Wales' biggest trading partner

Wales has been “hurt hardest” by Brexit amid a “mess” of trade barriers, cultural blockades…an “unprecedented” cross-committee inquiry which found “unanimous” agreement from witnesses that the UK-EU trade deal has not benefited Wales.” www.walesonline.co.uk/news/politic...

Labour: "We couldn't possibly begin negotiating with the EU to eventually rejoin. That would make the next GE all about Brexit."

Reality: "Yes, and so what? At the moment everything is about immigration, and you are LOSING very VERY badly indeed."

Britain’s two-party politics is fragmenting: what unintended consequences await? | Andy Beckett On one hand, no more safe seats or long careers could mean less complacency. On the other, no big parties could mean greater corporate influence, says Guardian columnist Andy Beckett

It is absolutely imperative that we have PR. This is what will neutralise Reform.
If Starmer/his government want to be heroes and be memorable they need to introduce what 80% of their own party wants: PR.
Belarus 🇧🇾 is the only other country that has FPTP.

Which market stall & where will it be? Just asking.

Tory policy: Let's spend 14 years asset stripping the country for our own ends & when we're finally voted out & things begin crumbling around us, we can blame the current government.
Slow hand clap Chris Philp, you hypocritical prick.

Company linked to Michelle Mone owes £39m in unpaid taxes Statement by administrators puts PPE Medpro’s total debts at £188m, including £39m said to be owed to HMRC

“PPE Medpro, linked to Michelle Mone & Doug Barrowman, has entered administration with debts exceeding £188 million, including £39 million owed to HMRC & £148 million in damages for supplying non-sterile gowns”

Bosses at six water firms had £4m in bonuses blocked under new rules, Ofwat says Regulator also considers forcing companies to report pay received from parent firms after Guardian investigation

Bosses at six water firms had £4m bonus blocked, Ofwat says.

Ban applied only to the CEO & CFOs, not all execs

Companies circumvent rules by branding bonus as incentive payments, higher basic pay, giving execs multiple directorships.

Must publish exec pay contacts.
Let customers vote on exec pay.

NOVEMBER DATES

5/11 - Farages girlfriend receives verdict on her fraud case.

20/11 COVID Inquiry Report

21/11 - Nathan Gill, Farage’s buddy gets sentenced for taking bribes from Russia

27/11- we will find out what’s in the Budget

No news on who bought Farage’s house though

Farage 🇷🇺 was savaged in the Commons for lining his pockets with £1m from second jobs while sneering at young workers’ right to a fair wage, a display of hypocrisy so brazen it practically reeked through the chamber. #ukpolitics

I have found one good use for something with the name 'Telegraph'. It has wires running between them!

Its good to report speculative articles by the tory press to ensure we call them out for what they are, thanks to someone like yourself & others here on Bluesky? Just asking😁

#prisoners
Just read this from 'Politics in the UK'.
Between 2010–2024, 860 prisoners were accidentally released under the #Conservatives. Yet the first and second accidental releases under #Labour are getting more headlines than all 860 Tory ****ups combined!

It's pure speculation which started in the Telegraph and has been picked up by other media outlets. As it's very unlikely the Chancellor has been on the phone to the Telegraph this is just the usual tittle tattle which usually comes to nought. Why are you promoting this stuff.

So #taxing #EV's per mile in advannce (You have to 'guess' your mileage for the coming year) & pay government up front?
Is this a @labouruk.bsky.social policy to ensure faster uptake of electric vehicles or a certain way to slow down net zero & to appease the oil industry? Just asking!

Please note

Stop. Policing. Poppies. That's. Not. What. Remembrance. Is. About.

There goes Zohran Mamdani, trying to plot a course between the Scylla and Charybdis of unhinged attacks from the right and unrealisitic expectations from the left. You have to wish him well.
