Man in glasses to Reform UK's Matt Goodwin #BBCQT

"I think it's quite poor that today you've used immigrants as a scapegoat for every single issue we've discussed"

"It's not a very good look for Reform UK given the racist stereotypes around them"

150,000 aged 90 and above wait 12 hours in England’s A&Es each year.

Older people left in excrement, wet beds, denied pain relief, forced to watch/hear other patients die.

NHS money pilfered by PFI and privatisation

But ... Govts have fiscal rules and don't want to tax the rich.

Audience members tear apart Matt Goodwin’s anti-migrant narrative on Question Time "I think it’s quite poor that today you’ve used immigrants as a scapegoat for every single issue we’ve discussed."

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

Israel has killed at least 104 people in Gaza, including 46 children. Journalist Mohammed al-Munirawi and his wife were among the killed; they were sheltering in a tent in Nuseirat in central Gaza. Israel has killed 256 journalists in Gaza since October 7, 2023.

Can the Gaza ceasefire deal survive? Its prospects depend heavily on the continuing engagement of the Trump White House, writes Frank Gardner.

Why is Frank Gardner, an extremely experienced imperialist correspondent, submitting this copy just hours after Israel blew the beejezus out of any pretence of a ceasefire by murdering more than 100 innocent Palestinians?

The 4th Estate: The Establishment is determined to maintain its monopoly on public-opinion-forming. Five billionaires (and Parliament!) control news in the UK: a barrier to truth, they distract us with hate & pollute national debate on dozens of issues to maintain their grip power.

Just a reminder …

The Green party is polling 25% with all voters under 50, & 39% among 18 to 24-year-olds. If that translates to votes, it could mean senior partnership in a coalition with others.

A key advantage the Greens have over yourparty.uk, is the name: climate is THE number one issue for this age bracket.

If 'just doing your job' involves taking money as bribes from genocidal foreign powers to back amendments in Parliament to proscribe protest groups, your job isn't really a job, it's a criminal enterprise, and you've been recruited because you're a greedy crook with no moral code.
