Michelle Mone: the embodiment of British corruption She was appointed to the Lords by Cameron and used that position to profiteer during the Covid pandemic. How could this have happened?

Thames Water creditors ask for up to 15 years’ leniency from river pollution rules Lenders say a ‘full return to legal, regulatory and environmental compliance’ under new rescue plan would not be completed until at least 2035-2040

WTF! Under no circumstances must they be allowed such leniency! Nationalise Thames Water with immediate effect

Polling by POLITICO shows the govt’s agri-food deal agreed in principle with Brussels is popular with Remainers and Leavers alike — even when they're told it means following EU rules.
63% back the deal vs just 22% who are opposed.

Brits want Nigel Farage to step away from the Brexit shredder Polling commissioned by POLITICO shows wide public support for Labour’s EU reset.

Brexit shitshow latest:

“The poll adds to the mounting pile of evidence that….dogma about regulatory alignment has always been more of an elite obsession”

People want lower bills and less hassle and don’t care about Farage’s ego or agreeing with EU rules. Who knew?

Why is Starmer becoming more confident criticising Brexit? Because quietly, without any great drama, a consensus has been reached. It's a disaster inews.co.uk/opinion/brex...

Compare over a million demonstrating for a second vote on Brexit back in the day - goodwill, no violence, no injured police - with some 100 000 "Unite the Kingdom" (what an oxymoron!) supporters led by a convicted criminal who managed to leave 26 police officers injured, some seriously.

Something inside so wrong: Labi Siffre tells Tommy Robinson to stop using anti-apartheid anthem Exclusive: UK singer, 80, says it is ‘absurd’ as a ‘positive atheist, homosexual black artist’ for far right to claim his work

Siffre’s song is “just about for everyone who has a battle to fight” except Tommy Robinson and his friends, whose battle is made up.

He tells the far right activist to stop using his anti-apartheid anthem.

UK government urged to restore Electoral Commission’s independence to protect democracy Oversight of watchdog could be abused by a future authoritarian government, report warns

Restoring the independence of the Electoral Commission would help protect democracy in the UK, but a future Farage-led government with a majority in parliament on only 30% of votes could easily end it again.

We need proportional representation now!

Former Brexit Party MEP admits accepting bribes to shill for Russia Nathan Gill admitted eight counts of bribery between 2018 and 2019. He said he was tasked to make specific statements in return for money. #EuropeNews

UK media should be all over this but will they be?

Reform UK, formerly Brexit Party & UKIP have always been mouthpieces for the Kremlin. It’s just this one was paid & found out

Nathan Gill admitted 8 counts of bribery between 2018 & 2019. Tasked to make specific statements in return for money

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

We're starting small but we have big ambitions.

Because if there's anything that the last few years have shown us, it's that we desperately need diverse, fearless INDEPENDENT media.

Reform UK's ex-Wales leader Nathan Gill admits pro-Russia bribery Nathan Gill admits eight charges of bribery while being a Member of the European Parliament.

Vote Reform, Get Russia. Pro-Russian nonsense from Reform members is never too far away. Derby's candidate was making the 'Ukraine+Europeans started it' claim during GE2024 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Yet the very real climate crisis is just "climate change"

On average Americans pay £480 per month for private healthcare. People should think about that before supporting a policy to deport immigrants with indefinite leave to remain, which would decimate the nhs overnight.

Agreed. And what happens if your phone gets stolen

Farage’s plan to scrap indefinite leave could collapse the NHS…

Which would be incredibly good news for someone wanting us to move to an ‘insurance based system’

FYI the average American pays £480 per month for private healthcare

Please wake up folks.

RefUK - that's what they seem to want to do ..

He managed to convince some that leaving the EU would mean kicking out brown people 🤷‍♂️

So, already EU citizens residing in the UK have taxation without representation. Now, NF wants to prevent them from taking anything back from those taxes?

What’s in a flag? EU flags lit up the Proms as far-right riots marred Westminster – two visions of Britain, one of unity, the other of hate

By our chair @suewilson91.bsky.social

It was my pleasure to join the Thank EU for the Music team handing out EU flags at the Proms, Royal Albert Hall

While the small, peaceful, friendly flag-waving efforts received no attention, the world’s media were out in force for Tommy Robinson’s hate rally

"If you've had enough of politicians, if you don't trust Westminster, join us."

What a revolting, cynical statement for a man who was an MP of the party that ruled for 14 years until five minutes ago - and David Cameron's speech writer before that.

What contempt for voters. ~AA

This really shouldn't even need saying, let alone agitating for. It is a truism more than a proposition.

We were very angry about the lies, illegality, cheating, and foreign interference that led to Brexit - but somehow we managed not to riot

The far-right mob in London paled into insignificance compared to our Remain marches. Especially the one in 2018. Between 700,000 and a million people turned out. The Labour front bench stayed away. They also ignored its message. But the voters who took part in it haven't disappeared.
