Timeline cleanse. Remember, amongst the chaos, take some time to appreciate nature. Great for stress and it pisses the r/w off 😁

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Who says the r/w can’t do comedy? 😆

Bluesky, find an example of an entitled, arrogant, wealthy ‘entrepreneur’ with zero humanity or self awareness…oh look, James Dyson. Perfect 👌

Sir James Dyson says Brexit was worth it – even if it’s made people poorer Britain’s fourth-wealthiest man has argued it is better to be ‘independent’ than tied to the EU

Easy for a billionaire to tell the rest of us that Brexit was worth it even though it made us poorer.

Those few, oblivious, irony-free words of Dyson’s say absolutely everything about the the cesspit that is British ‘society’ and why we need change- desperately

We suffered the same during the Brexit ‘debate’ - our media utterly failed to ask the right questions, expose the lies AND the liars

Not the BBC- completely hobbled by the old Tory government and now just a mouthpiece for ReformUK (our version of MAGA)

Farage vows to axe indefinite leave to remain and ban migrants’ benefits access The Reform UK leader will outline a planned crackdown on legal immigration at a Monday press conference.

That Farage is treated seriously shows how degraded the politics in the UK habe become.
Barring absolute far right racists, anyone with half a brain cell can see this latest raft of proposals would utterly destroy the UK, as well as the lives of migrants. 1/

The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money review – a devastating picture of the biggest spending scandal ever This rigorous look at the Tories’ ‘VIP lane’ for PPE suppliers during Covid raises questions about the motivations of those involved – ones that are almost too disgusting to contemplate

Small boats: TV coverage - day after day after day after day....

PPE scandal: TV coverage - let's stick this powerful, enraging documentary on at quarter past ten on a Sunday night.

There are still some pockets of good journalism, but the editorial bias is just awful

The timing struck me as ‘interesting’. Normally, ITV’s big exposé documentaries are aired becore the news. Shameful cowardice? Pressure from above ?

It stopped being what I recognise as a ‘news’ organisation years ago. Their standards are so poor

The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money review – a devastating picture of the biggest spending scandal ever This rigorous look at the Tories’ ‘VIP lane’ for PPE suppliers during Covid raises questions about the motivations of those involved – ones that are almost too disgusting to contemplate

This should have been a moment of profound national learning - about the corruption that serves our elite - but the Cabinet Office which ran the VIP Lane sought to close the discussion down and Labour unaccountably let them. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Reform will apparently pledge today that they'd abolish indefinite leave to remain - including retrospectively, to people already granted it. Obviously this is a moral abomination but it is also a practical and legal impossibility.

This is happening because the Government has failed for the past year to make a positive case for immigration and why we need people here. There are plenty of examples of economies that have collapsed - including our own after Brexit - when immigrants leave en masse. Google Uganda under Idi Amin.

Labour must finally stand up firmly against a Reform policy. Call it out for the obscenity it is. Starmer has recently finally spoken out against populism and division. What could be more populist and divisive than this? Nor for heaven's sake, don't dodge it, or excuse it. Challenge it.

This has to be a moment of reckoning. Broadcasters must focus on the practical consequences and make them clear. It would be utter, society altering chaos. That should dominate the approach, as it would coverage of any other party's policies.

That’s brightened my day already! Thank you 🙏 Enjoy your week too

Indeed. The massive flaw in these idiot racists’ ‘theories’ is they think they can just ‘deport’ people.To countries for which many have no legal, residency status and which have no obligation to take in deportees. Just pond scum-level rationale

Glad to hear that 👍😆

I’m watching and it’s astounding. We all knew something like this was going on - but the extent of it! While so many were suffering, dying, sunk into loneliness - a few were absolutely RAKING IT IN. The COVID health crisis was a very, very lucrative opportunity for some.

There’s a complete reluctance among the political class (of any persuasion) to prosecute their own for crimes committed in office. Almost as if they know they could easily be next; like breaking a gentleman’s agreement. Political office isn’t regarded as service, but as a door opener to £

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday.

I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.

Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

Scale of 'Unite the Kingdom' march shows free speech 'alive and well' in UK, says minister - UK politics live Peter Kyle said he was not 'disturbed' by huge Tommy Robinson-organised far-right protest but condemns violence against the police

Every decent politician should be ‘disturbed’ by Tommy Robinson’s fascist march in London and Musk’s calls for violence on our streets.
Every decent politician should stop claiming this horror is an expression of ‘free speech’.
It’s vicious, racist incitement.
DO something about it.

Encountering the fascists outside Waterloo It's clear now that we are in a battle of terrible proportions.

A sobering but massively powerful piece. Our youngest's girlfriend is black and was due to travel back to London yesterday via Waterloo. She asked to stay here in relative, rural security because she was scared of the people on that march. This is not a drill open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

Completely agree. It is NOT Britain. The media would have you believe it, but we all know it isn’t
