Last week we were told that NHS staff weren’t getting COVID-19 vaccinations. This week an email about a sudden increase in COVID-19 cases on the wards. Do appreciate people trying to staff the wards didn’t make the vaccination decision though. They’re probably livid.

Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Whether you like or dislike what’s said, free speech is at the heart of our democracy.

Protecting it should be one of our core missions as a nation.

If there were ever a moment for the so-called β€œfree speech warriors” to speak out, now would be the time.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Nigel Farage is paid nearly a million pounds a year on top of his MP wages.

You should be asking where all that money is coming from.

Who owns Nigel Farage?

Dr Aseem Malhotra tells the Reform UK conference:

β€œIt’s highly likely that the Covid vaccines have been a significant factor in the cancer of members of the Royal Family.”

There is no evidence for this claim. The referenced professor is an ex UKIP candidate. Covid vaccinees are safe and effective.

Rayner is gone so where is the media outrage at Farage and his taxing dodging scams? Home bought in his partners name avoiding stamp duty, GB News pay via a company to avoid 40% tax rate on his 92k pay from them.

Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on GB News earnings Exclusive: Reform leader’s use of television star-style arrangement is a practice criticised across the political spectrum Nigel Farage is using a private company to reduce his tax bill on his GB News media appearances and other outside employment in a television star-style arrangement that has in recent years become frowned on by major broadcasters. The Reform UK leader diverts money from his prime-time TV show into his company, which means that he paid only 25% corporation tax on profits, instead of 40% income tax, and could offset some expenses.

UK billionaire wealth has more than doubled since 2010.

β–ͺ️2010: Β£250 billion
β–ͺ️2025: Β£620 billion

While workers’ wages have flatlined.

When Parliament returns next week, I’ll be stepping up the campaign for a wealth tax.

Ask your MP to sign my Parliamentary Motion on this.

Migrants can't answer back.

They have no voice.

So they make the perfect scapegoat for the pent-up rage of the angry, self-loathing far right who can unite around this issue.

In addition it gives the media something to write about in the long summer recess.

That is what is really going on here.

Dear Britain, it’s now clear: 20mph zones save lives and don’t slow traffic. Implement them | Sadiq Khan There is too much bluff and bluster on this subject. Ordinary people just want safe streets for themselves and those they love, and we can achieve that, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

The evidence is clear - 20mph zones save lives.

In London, they’ve cut deaths and serious injuries by 34% and child fatalities by 75%.

That's why we need to see more 20mph areas. My op-ed for @theguardian.com ‡️
