How do the royals make money? Eight unanswered questions
The taxpayer-funded sovereign grant goes towards the royal familyβs finances each year β but how does Andrew benefit?
Good question: Why is there so little transparency over royal finances?
"The Palace line is that these royal financial affairs are βprivateβ, although critics of this secrecy argue that this wealth stems from the public roles they were born into." (Β£)

Nice try, Labour, but as you're refusing to reverse #Brexit this stunt is just shooting yourselves in both feet.
Idiots.

Its been 124 years since we last had a non Tory/Lab Gov
Zack has made the Greens awesome. Greens have heritage and thought through policies that are regularly reviewed
Green policies have been adopted by parties in power
Farage has nothing but chaos and protest
Greens are ready for government.

Keir Starmer has written to all Labour MPs attacking the Green Party for embracing "divisive" and "sectarian" politics
I'm picking up concern among Labour MPs about how this letter will come across to people who have voted/are tempted to vote Green, as it could risk further alienating these voters

This is a good read!
And yes, people power DID lead the #GreenParty to victory in #GortonAndDenton.
People all over the #UK are so fed up of the lies & misery from #Labour & #Tories & NO ONE with half a brain cell want the #Nazi #Reform party anywhere near power.

I always thought #racism & hatred was a criminal offence, but I'm clearly wrong.
The propaganda shitrag, the #DailyMail is happy to promote the #racist #Farage in it's 'newspaper'.
How can we EVER win the fight against the #FarRight when this is allowed & our politicians do FUCK ALL about it??

#Starmer: "Iβll fight both left & rightβ - another lie from the #Labour PM. He's never fought for the #left, only for the #right.
But WHY does he want to fight for the right? He is supposed to be the PM of a #LeftWing party??
Proof that he doesn't care about us & his party is #LabourInNameOnly.

Words matter. βCrown Estateβ implies royal ownership and normalises the myth that we should be grateful. Rename it the National Estate β because the wealth is public, and the country is not a family brand. #nationalestate #crownestate #abolishthemonarchy

Starmer urges restraint on Iran but not on the states guilty of aggression: Israel and the USA
This approach in itself undermines the rule of law and international law
Regardless of what we think of the Iranian regime

I decided to support Hannah's campaign and canvassed for her. Initially my motivation was driven by my passion to save our NHS, but on meeting Hannah, I realised that she is an incredible young woman and the community's support for her was palpable. A David & Goliath moment!! π

Claiming he "won the Gorton and Denton by-election among British-born voters" because he knows he won't get away with "white people have been cheated out of victory by black and brown people".
Every senior politician should be in and on the media today calling out this blatantly racist agitation.

It's about time all parties got together to inform the uneducated that all our country's problems has not & never will be, the fault of immigrants.
It's about the greed of our politicians, along with their millionaire & billionaire backers.
It's why we need a #WealthTax & to #TaxTheRich.

The state of it has revealed that cabinet ministers privately believe the greens are hammering us by deliberately raising the salience of Gaza in the constituency.
The Labour government object to us talking about Gaza.
Genocide is serious and they should hang their heads in shame for arming it, not complaining to journalists.
Not surprised they're distracting from their other failures - like addressing the cost of energy bills and rent.
