this is exactly the sort of shit that's going to lead to civil unrest in the long terms. if there are no laws that will see her in prison for swindling the public purse, then our system is broken. if i refuse to pay taxes, i go to prison. but scamming ยฃ120m of public money? fine, whatever, lord on.

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him.

Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership."

KS needs to stand up straight and direct a primitive, but effective, verbal smack in the face to you know who. (I refuse to name the numbskull.)
How long will he respond in such a mealy mouthed manner. So pathetic.

This, it seems, is what the BBC had in mind when it drew up plans in March to alter โ€œstory selectionโ€ to win over Reform voters.

The BBC should hang its head. I used to have such faith in the organisation, no longer. It's a damned disgrace how they are providing such a platform.

Reform, with 0.7% of all MPs, featured in 25% of BBC's recent 10pm news bulletins Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

British media pumps out daily propaganda pieces for Farage, fails to offer *any scrutiny* and basically legitimises rampant racism, then puts on its โ€˜innocent faceโ€™ and clutches its pearls at the rise of the far rightโ€ฆ
What a grim betrayal of our democracy.

You're absolutely right Helene. We're in a shambles too and we are all in it together. Solidarity is what's needed.

Reform UK receives ยฃ100,000 donation from design firm that faced winding-up petition Exclusive: Interior Architecture Landscape, which faced closure by HMRC early this year, made donation in June

Now this is a curious tale from @rowenamason.bsky.social, not least the idea of a "leading" interior design company whose website only uses stock internet photos and listed no contact details until they were approached by the Guardian via their accountants.

An actual quote from the Secretary of State for Business and Trade

Too often people go to university to โ€˜explore research and knowledgeโ€™

Look forward to Wes S saying 'too often people go to hospital to have operations' or Heidi Alexander saying 'too often people go to the station to catch a train'

When you put it that way, it's almost unbelievable. Yet there you have it. The unbelievable truth.

Trump just designated โ€œAntifaโ€ as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, โ€œantifaโ€ is short for โ€œantifascistโ€.

They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left.

This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up.

Genuinely baffled at that being the headline when I woke up.

Hate and division have become so normalised.

It hasn't happened by accident though. It's been a constant deliberate push.

Front pages are full of Trump telling Starmer to send in the military to stop the boats - voicing the racist, murderous fantasies of the far right.

What happens when you put gunboats up against a dinghy?

And are we asking our forces to drown desperate people? How can they obey criminal orders?

Farage has resorted to threatening to sue people who talk about his Stamp Duty avoidance via his girlfriend suddenly finding ยฃ885,000 out of thin air to buy a house.

Letโ€™s keep talking about it, he canโ€™t get away with his corruption & threats will not work!
