More arrogant rich elite joining party of the people! The rich have the same priorities as working people don't they?

Tommy Robinson has been ordered to pay Β£50,000 in court costs.

Now they need to go after all the money he has grifted from being in jail, you aren't allowed to profit from the proceeds of crime.

This is how you spot a racist.

Oxford Uni sent out 3,200 jobs applications, changing only the names on the CVs.

Ethnic minority names had to send 70-90% more applications than white ones to get a reply.

Farage did nothing.

1 job excludes white people

Farage sounds the alarm.

Found this buried on page 6 of today's times. If there had been a Tory government this would have been a front page banner headline.

Meanwhile on X…

Isabel Oakeshott appears to have forgotten that she’s supposed to represent ordinary folk and completely outed herself as the impossible snob that she is.

House Republicans just blocked the release of the Matt Gaetz ethics report, which investigated allegations of sex with a minor. Transparency matters. Accountability matters. This decision is a disservice to the public. #Ethics #Justice

Just been on X and its full of right-wing idiots bragging about a petition gaining lots of signatures calling for general election.

Stay in EU petition got 6 million signatures and achieved nothing. Not sure they understand how democracy works?

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of Β£5k - later reduced to Β£3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to Β£500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read β€œMiliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

The multi-millionaire who bought farmland to avoid tax…

And the man who decimated farming to progress his own career

…are now the self-appointed saviours of farming

On today’s pod we discuss how people have lost their damned minds.

Trump could nominate a roadkill squirrel for Secretary of State and Hawley would vote for it.

House Republicans actually voted today to block the US Senate from receiving their report containing sworn witness testimony and documentary evidence about the nominee for Attorney General of the United States paying a child $10,000 for sex.

That’s where we are at.

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a β€˜Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss.
She said: β€˜No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’
