Tesco could pay every worker an extra ยฃ10,000 and still make a profit.

British Gas could pay every worker an extra ยฃ35,000 and still make a profit.

Shell could pay every worker an extra ยฃ300,000 and still make a profit.

It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.

Farageโ€™s mistress is under investigation by Belgian prosecutors for financial irregularities while she served as executive director of the think-tank Institute for Direct Democracy in Europe in 2016. The probe involves misuse of EU public funds and questionable spending.

Sheโ€™s right. She *deliberately* hacked into Harriet Harmanโ€™s website, whereas Rachel Reeves is accused of obtaining a license late by accident. I assume thatโ€™s what she means, given Badenoch is widely known for her thoughtfulness and her self-awareness.

Bad Enoch is absolutely barking!
What she did is so much worse, but she talks like she's done nothing wrong in her life. What a hypocrite!

Daily Mail vermin wanking again - overlooking the real political crooks doing illegal things. Like Farage, who still hasnโ€™t explained who gave ยฃ885k in cash to his foreign girlfriend to pay for a home in Clacton. #ukpolitics

I don't like Starmer, but Labour have said they won't leave the ECHR, and they are in power. It's just another Fartage stunt. Treat it with the contempt it deserves

I work in social research and understand polling methods. You can make polls say exactly what you want them to say by polling in areas where you know how they'll vote. It's not rocket science.

I didn't vote for Brexit and I got exactly what I didn't vote for.
I've never voted Conservative and got more (idiocy) than I never voted for!
Now, apparently, I could get Reform!

I beg you differ.
The northeast of England is just starting to get so.e self-determination and I think if it carries through deform will be gone here. If deformed get in we will lose that self-determination and power will return to London. We stand to lose out as much as the other countries

Nigel Farage held a press conference today saying grooming gang victims have been failed

When questioned about Prince Andrew he says given Andrewโ€™s current situation, there is no need to โ€œgive him a kickingโ€ - telling because we all know itโ€™s the perpetrator that matters to Farage, not the victims

As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep

Govt banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe medications

This should also be banned

Influence being bought in Govt

Patients should influence not the healthy & wealthy

And old woman in a local shop said something similar to me recently. I kept my temper but said that I would go before I did something I regretted.

As far as I can tell, it was a low turnout after Trump threatened to take back the money he gave Argentina if Milei's party didn't win.

The UK gov should issue an international arrest warrant to get her back and put a charge or whatever on some of her assets to clear what she owes.
