YouTube video by Just the News The Liz Truss Show premieres Friday on the Just the News podcast network

After much consideration, I've decided that the problem with Liz Truss's new YouTube venture is Liz Truss.

She's got the charisma of a bin liner and speaks like a droning spin dryer on a quiet cycle.

BP to scrap paid rest breaks and most bank holiday bonuses for forecourt staff Exclusive: Plans to offset increase in minimum ‘fair pay’ set by Living Wage Foundation will affect 5,400 employees

BP to scrap paid rest breaks and most bank holiday bonuses for forecourt staff.

Changes to employee benefits would cut take-home pay by at least 6.25%.

Would exec pay and dividends be cut? No chance.

Hard-won rights eroded as corporations rule without ever being elected.

Back to Victorian times.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

This is getting stupid now.

We're at the point where Labour acknowledge both the damage caused by Brexit AND that rejoining the Customs Union (more accurately, joining A Customs Union) would boost growth.

And yet they still reinforce their red lines.

Crypto Investor Donates £9 Million to Reform UK After Nigel Farage Plugs His Company and Tells Industry 'I Am Your Champion' The Reform leader recently used media interviews to back Christopher Harborne's company while promising to cut taxes and regulations on crypto firms

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether.

He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors

Remembrance: 75 years of the ECHR The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) celebrates its 75th birthday this month – like all elders, it has a lifetime of wisdom to share

"In the ashes of war... Europe pulled together to create collaborative bodies designed to prevent a repeat of the horrors of Nazi Germany.

One such body was the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)."

Prime Minister condemns 'Brexit template' as 'utterly reckless' during Lady Mayor's speech Sir Keir Starmer is speaking at the Lady Mayor's Banquet in the City of London, where prime ministers traditionally make speeches on foreign affairs. He is expected to talk about the UK's relationship...

At last some honest words from Starmer about the disaster of Brexit, not only about our economics but also about our body politics. But where is the action, beyond tinkering at the edges? If Brexit was a disaster, start the process if reversing it!

As Jonathan Gullis joins Reform UK, it's only fair to remind people of this.

All forgotten, is it, Dickie? ~AA

Not the Brexit deal.
Brexit.
A prejudiced moronathon that will continue to damage our country until we’re brave/sane enough to admit it, demand accountability from those who insisted upon it and then, finally, start to fix it.

A quick reminder of who Nigel Farage was most concerned about when Putin's tanks first rolled into Ukraine

There's a very very very simple reason why nothing Labour do ever moves the needle on the parlous state of the UK economy.

They have deliberately and repeatedly chosen to ignore the elephant filling every nook and cranny of the room.

Farage: Teen comments were banter, not racism Extract: However, he added: "I've never directly racially abused anybody. No." Suggesting the motivation behind the claims was "political disagreements" with some of his private school peers, Farage denied having "ever been part of an extremist organisation or engaged in direct, unpleasant personal abuse, genuine abuse, on that basis". Pressed on whether he would say categorically he did not racially abuse fellow pupils, Parage said: "I would never; ever do it in a hurtful or insulting way. Asked whether he had said things to fellow pupils that he had not intended to be hurtful or racist, but they took it that way, he said: "I hope not. And asked whether he had said things at school that people might have taken offence at, he replied: "Without any shadow of a doubt. He said he would not apologise to anyone because he did not think that he had done anything that hurt anyone,

Bossy headline from The Times letting Farage insist his “Hitler was right” racism was just ‘banter’.
If that were true, his politics now would be different and he’d apologise. He’s defensive because this is what he is and always has been and he’s angry with us for knowing that and for minding.

Reform UK’s Russia shame is rooted in Farage’s long record of licking Putin’s boots. He’s pushed Kremlin-soaked bullshit for years on Russian TV, then pretends innocence now Putin’s exposed as a tyrant. His only consistency is hypocrisy and talking utter crap. #ukpolitics

The Confidence Trick That Put Boris Johnson Into Power Is Now Being Used on Nigel Farage The same people who convinced the British public to back a catastrophic Boris Johnson premiership are now pulling the same trick again with Nigel Farage

A right old lump with a glorious thump! Some say it's a one trick pony, but it excels at what it does 😁 I have a Jazz and a P but tend to gravitate towards the P as I find the note fundamental cuts through a band mix better, to my ears anyway....and through my feet 😆

Up to 50,000 nurses could quit UK over immigration plans, survey suggests Exclusive: union leaders say proposed changes are immoral and could threaten patient safety if there is staff exodus

This is shocking. Up to 50,000 nurses could quit the UK over the government’s immigration proposals, plunging the NHS into its biggest ever workforce crisis, research suggests

Reform would ‘cut benefits for EU nationals and hike NHS immigration surcharge’ Party claims its policies would eliminate ‘black hole’ Rachel Reeves faces in the budget – but Labour says the ‘fantasy numbers don’t add up’

The stupidity of Farage’s latest ‘plan’ is staggering.
Claiming they’d save British taxpayers money by ripping up international commitments and starting a trade war with Europe is the puerile foot-stamp of a party that uses prejudice as policy. Ruinous nonsense.

English councils plan to sell off social clubs and sports centres to balance books Survey finds 60% of key cities councils are planning to sell assets to meet costs of adult and children’s social care

English councils plan to sell off social clubs and sports centres to balance books.

Social spaces lost forever. Libraries, community centres, school playgrounds, parks closed/sold as council funding cut in real terms to appease the rich.

Social vandalism.

This perfectly encapsulates why we need the BBC

When was the last time anyone at the BBC had to resign for misrepresenting a leftwinger?

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Nige is no longer laughing at himself as he ‘performs’ yet another big speech | John Crace Reform leader is trying to make it as a mainstream politician – which involves contradicting himself and gaslighting voters

“His main theme was that the country was fucked. Largely because of Brexit. Weirdly, he has no memory of being the main architect behind the Brexit vote. He seems to think it happened in a world in which he played no part.”

Farage - the foghorn of failure.

Reform UK, the Russian spy and rolls of Kremlin cash: the inside story of Nathan Gill How did a former Mormon bishop end up pleading guilty to taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia in the European parliament?

The party who claim to be patriots literally had a Reform leadership member caught red handed taking bribes from Russia.

This article details the speeches Nathan Gill gave that he was paid to give.

How are Reform getting away with this?

Photo of Farage at his lectern Nigel Farage says Reform UK could cut minimum wage for young people - and... 2 hours ago Sky News

What Farage means (but never admits and is rarely asked about) is that a race to the bottom has been squandered. Brexit as the route to promoting profiteering for his moneyed mates while binning protections and rocket-boosting exploitation (aka “deregulation”) for the rest of us.
For example…

Leaving the ECHR won’t stop the boats, 300 organisations warn in rallying cry Prime minister Keir Starmer urged to make positive case for ECHR after Kemi Badenoch pledged a Tory government would leave the treaty

Farage says leaving the ECHR is the “unfinished business" of Brexit and that the UK is "not sovereign” while we are in it.

But Farage lies. And Brexit is a shitshow. So, “finishing” it should fill us all with dread.

Sovereignty without rights is dictatorship.
