No more Dirty Business ! The public, MPs and Environmental Groups have said NO to 14 years of illegal Thames Water sewage pollution. Email Ofwat now, so that they can't ignore us @weownit.org.uk weownit.org.uk/act-now/emai...

This is massive, and disgraceful. No organisation called “Tactical Choice” appears to exist.

This story is going to keep running and running until Starmer’s minister Josh Simons - and Labour Together - start giving straight answers

One thing for sure - An ‘informal iniquity’ run by Simons’ isn’t going to cut it

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office It comes after Thames Valley Police said they were assessing a complaint over the alleged sharing of confidential material by the former prince with Jeffrey Epstein.

It's finally gaining momentum - BBC reports that they understand that Thames Valley Police have arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor regarding their investigation into suspicion of misconduct in public office. It is only a start but it is a start!

This is part of a bigger story that hasn't had much coverage about the FCDO being cut to ribbons.

Development funding has been slashed but foreign office staff are also being reduced by 20-30%.

Correction - not Tom Holden but Paul Holden. Apologies to Mr Holden!

Forgive me if this is not correct, but I thought that Tom Holden "broke the story" in his book Fraud which was about Labour Together, McSweeney and Starmer's rise to PM.

2nd story on BBC radio 4 bulletins now

Still huge questions to answer about Labour Together smearing journalists and sources

As I revealed yesterday, senior Labour insiders knew - and person who commissioned it, Josh Simons, now a Starmer minister….

Keir Starmer – how dare you speak about justice? A letter to Keir Starmer from a Harrods abuse survivor

“Keir Starmer – how dare you speak about justice?”

This week, the PM waxed lyrical about how Epstein victims had suffered unacceptable barriers to justice.

All while HIS OWN GOVERNMENT has repeatedly blocked justice for Harrods trafficking & abuse victims.

The hypocrisy is wild.

Calls to halt UK Palantir contracts grow amid ‘lack of transparency’ over deals Opposition MPs urge Labour to pause public contracts with the US tech firm after attempts to examine deals blocked

Pressure building on govt to come clean about Mandelson's role in bringing US spy-tech firm Palantir into the heart of our NHS.

It's not just Russia! In the UK (and every where else for that matter) we the electorate should know who funds think tanks that influence political decisions affecting us. It seems US govt is about to fund pro MAGA think tanks and charities in Europe.

So true. Also, many of the Americans doing literally nothing about Epstein’s American ‘associates’ are precisely the ones lying about Europe & particularly the UK being overrun with child-rapists. It’s insane.
