A profitable pharmaceutical company received £3.4bn tax cut from a UK tax incentive scheme.

The drug wasn't available to the NHS for several years.

Big pharma wants to hike drug prices.

£3.4bn would drastically cut child poverty... but ... but ... there is no money for that.

The Green Party are level with the Labour Party for the first time in history.

Let's see if the UK media give the Greens greater coverage to reflect their new popularity. Cannot imagine it will be anywhere near their continual talking up of Farage even when he had ZERO MPs.

No Scottish Greens (we have 7 Green MSPs) but we have a Reform councillor on

Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman owe £145m, their estimated wealth is £500m.

They should be arrested and kept in prison until they payup in full.

"That's why we all need to vote Green" is fast becoming the only ethical and strategic answer to reasonable "I don't want to let the fascists in by splitting the left vote" concerns.

Woman, 80s, dies three years after Dublin attack A woman in her 80s who was attacked in south Dublin just over three years ago has passed away.

Marie McGowan, 89, has died 3 years after a brutal assault during which she was put headfirst into a rubbish bin. Her attacker, Alex Bailey, believed she was "a man dressed as a woman."

This is the world the transphobes are creating "to protect women."

RIP Marie. share.google/PFaI5YTh9tBw...

Tees Valley mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen shared his economic wisdom at the Tory conference. The Conservative party, he said, must be the party of “sound money”.

Is really not going very well as an attack on the Green Party.

I'm sure they will come up with a new completely fake smear soon, like the antisemitism one from 2017-19.

“The regulation of medicine pricing is reserved to the UK Government through the Department of Health and Social Care.

“Any agreed price increases will apply UK-wide, including Scotland, so NHS Scotland would face higher costs.”

Things Farage won’t answer:

1. Why did he lie about buying a house in Clacton?

2. What did he know about Welsh Reform Leader Nathan Gill’s Russian Bribes?

3. Why did he lie about meeting the Russian Ambassador?

4. Why is his flagship council Kent raising taxes and cutting services?
