Not manifesto pledge, but what about commitment to 'independent' #LoanChargeReview? #LoanChargeScandal destroyed countless lives, at least 10 #LoanChargeSuicides, recognised as "mis-selling", but review simply looking at how to 'encourage' victims to pay up.

The grotesque spectacle of those who have waged and financed genocide gathering to engage in sycophancy and backslapping is nauseating.

The Trump Action Tracker is a British academic’s answer to Trump “flooding the zone” with anti-democratic and anti- rule of law behaviours.

It’s a one-stop-shop for logging thd lot. And the neta-analysis of what is happening is very enlightening… darkly.

See TrumpActionTracker.info

Pam Bondi Is a Piece of Work And it’s clearer than ever that she sees her job as covering for and protecting criminals within the Trump regime.

This is a very good post by @nycjayjay.bsky.social - especially on the direct questions Bondi did not answer.

"It's time for reform", is Jenrick trying to tell us something?

I'm keeping well away from whatever he's on!

Part Two is live.

Project 2025 isn’t just an American story anymore - it’s being rewritten in Westminster under a new name:

The Centre for a Better Britain.

Project 2025: The Manual for Making America Obey Again (Part 1) Heritage Foundation’s playbook for Trump 2.0 shows what happens when authoritarian ambition meets bureaucratic precision.

When I first heard about Project 2025, I thought it was conspiracy nonsense - too brazen, too cartoonishly evil to be real.

Then Trump called it “severe right”… and started enacting it.

Part One of my two-part deep dive into the authoritarian playbook now shaping the United States.

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Agreed, leaders only need to open their mouths normally to at least get token standing ovation.

The bar is that low. It is absolutely routine for a party leader to be given a long standing ovation, with all sorts of divining done based on how long. To get NO standing ovation at all is a death sentence for a leader.

Mel Stride's reputation should be in tatters, here's what MP's & Peers had to say about his #LoanChargeScandal behaviour.

At least 10 #LoanChargeSuicides (+14 attempts)... how many would be alive now now if Stride acted differently?

Surely a "sitting ovation" is just clapping? If we're lowering the bar that much I want to declare I wasn't giving her a "lying ovation", I was sleeping! 😂

Liddy Moan and her husband played major part in not just #PPEMedPro scandal, but also #LoanChargeScandal. Barrowman's AML behind many schemes and at least two of victims amongst 10 #LoanChargeSuicides.

With all the latest about Barrowman/Mone, a reminder of the #LoanChargeScandal.

Strange that the Tory Govt introduced a law that let promoters off the hook whilst pursuing those they mis-sold to🤔💴

We wrote to @Jesse_Norman in 2020 but no reply…💩

Likewise HMRC insists that those forced to deal with them, including #LoanChargeScandal victims, even 10 #LoanChargeSuicides, are 'customers'.

No, customers have a choice where take their business.

Liddy Moan's husband Doug Barrowman made millions from #LoanChargeScandal schemes as his victims including #nurses and #socialworkers face bankruptcy. At least two of his customers amongst 10 #LoanChargeSuicides.

Why are there no criminal charges?
She and her sneaky toad of a husband purposely and with malice set out to defraud the UK Gov
Hubby has been selling tax avoidance schemes to working ppl who have later found out they're not legal and have had to repay £ks to HMRC
Many were nurses and reg wrkg ppl.

I spent some time with OpenAI's new AI video app Sora. Not just slop but ragebait, fake crimes and women splattered with white goo. The implications of all of this are horrifying.

This is an example of a Loan Charge Impact statement taken as evidence by the Loan Charge and Taxpayer Fairness Group AAP. These statements highlight the true impact of the Loan Charge on families and individuals and how that differs from what is reported by HMRC Work for HMRC? Sick of the slaughter? Help us.

I have also considered taking my own life. Where does this all end??

The case against digital ID cards: imagine how a Reform government could use them | Gaby Hinsliff The civil liberties argument against giving the state more power over our lives becomes more urgent by the day – just look to Trump’s America, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

This by @gabyhinsliff.bsky.social on ID cards is very good

And it also kindly links to my post setting out how an incoming illiberal government would not need to force through primary legislation, given what they could do with statutory instruments.

I still can't quite believe that the very first attacks from Labour on Farage's bonkers idea to kick millions of people with INDEFINITE right to remain out of the UK were to argue that it's infeasible and wouldn't save anything like the amount he claimed.

How about:
- It's WRONG
- It's IMMORAL
?

My family attacked retrospectively on two fronts, as my foreign wife faces threat to Indefinite Leave to Remain status, we all face retrospective #LoanChargeScandal.

Even ignoring mountains of evidence that migration beneficial to economy, retrospective action always wrong.

Reform will apparently pledge today that they'd abolish indefinite leave to remain - including retrospectively, to people already granted it. Obviously this is a moral abomination but it is also a practical and legal impossibility.

UK recognises Palestine as an independent state Keir Starmer’s announcement comes seven decades after end of British mandate in Palestine and creation of state of Israel

Good.

Now stop arms sales to Israel, implement hefty sanctions on the Netanyahu regime and its members, and use your place on the UN Security Council to back up Resolution 242 with action. It's fucking genocide.
