Huh. Interesting

James Dyson owns more UK land than the actual KING. But he pays an effective tax rate of LESS THAN 1%* on his total wealth.

Here’s a novel idea @keirstarmer: to fund schools and hospitals, TAX THE BILLIONAIRES.

Instead of funneling endless amounts of money into our bloated Pentagon budget while thousands of veterans face homelessness and hunger, let’s use those funds to truly take care of our veterans — ensuring every one has a home, food, and access to medical and mental health care.

This is the stupidest person ever to be allowed into the Oval Office. “Nobody knows what a magnet is.”

Ghislaine Maxwell is the First Lady of Federal Prison.

No more noble British tradition than resigning over some nonsense everyone is only pretending to be angry about rather than all of the actually bad things you've done.

“I Don’t Feel Safe”: Black Memphis Residents Report Harassment by Trump’s Police Task Force A pastor was pulled over for looking lost. A 72-year-old was marched out in his bathrobe due to mistaken identity. Memphis’ mayor welcomed the federal law enforcement surge, but some residents say the...

Phillip Lewis, a 72-year-old cancer patient, said he was woken up and marched outside his home in his robe and underwear before federal officers even checked his ID.

England facing drastic measures due to extreme drought next year Government and water companies are devising emergency plans for worst water shortage in decades

Higher temperatures. Longer, hotter Summers. Less rainfall. Increasing population. Leaking infrastructure. A system dependent on consistent rainfall patterns that no longer prevail.

And not a single reservoir built in 30 years.

Seems Reform UK’s Michael Squires is trying to claim a load of projects as Reform UK ‘getting things done’.

Thing is, these road & bridge projects were approved in 2017, construction started in 2023.

Also, the efficiency project is actually hiring £1.4m on consultants. Something all councils do.

Don't buy fucking Tesla.

This debate always makes me worry there’s something a bit wrong with me in that I don’t think the past is something you should draw pride or shame from. I have benefited from the British empire more than most Brits, but ultimately I am *not* my maternal great-great-great-grandfather!
