A reminder that 75% of people support a wealth tax.

To the ‘patriots’ saying they’ll leave the country in a strop:

Paying a wealth tax on assets above £10m is not a hardship. You'll still have a fancy house, fancy car and a fancy life.

Patriotic Millionaires know. @patmillsuk.bsky.social

Former Head of Comms for the IEA, Annabel Denham, says the super rich will leave if we have a wealth tax.

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Green Party leader Zack Polanski explains that their taxable assets can’t leave. #bbcqt

Polanski expertly dismantling the "rich people will move if we tax them" narrative, while Denham nimbly demonstrates how very patriotic such people are.

It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.

ANTIFA:

Please don't share this as it might upset Nigel Farage.

“The Founders would never believe that it would ever come to pass that one state militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution”

THAT PART!

Thank you, Judge Perry.

Nigel Farage’s declaration of war on teachers is a war on compassion, empathy and kindness According to The Guardian, Nigel Farage, speaking at an event at a private Christian college in Michigan, USA, has accused teachers in the UK of “poisoning our kids” and predicted that they would go o...

Farage is saying all teachers are Marxists. They're not. They just teach that we should care for one another. But that offends his fascist instincts. The result is he is turning on a profession that teaches about compassion and empathy - because he loathes it. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/10...

To be fair to Nigel, All Teachers Are Marxist(TM) is just another bullet point on the Heritage Foundation bullshit list he's contractually obliged to wang on about

When referring to people who are anti-Trump, don't fall into the trap of calling them "Antifa."

That is a loaded, mangled word. Call them what they are, "anti-fascists."

Are you sure that a ceasefire agreement has been reached and that the war in Gaza has ended? Violent airstrikes are currently targeting Gaza City, with dozens killed and missing under the rubble? #Gaza #Ceasefire #Hamas #Israel #غزة #حماس #وقف_اطلاق_النار #فلسطين

I could watch Zack Polanski utterly wreck Zia Yusuf ALL DAY LONG.

So refreshing to see someone challenge the smug, nasty Reform narrative

Lloyds and Close Brothers warn of extra costs for motor finance scandal Lenders says current provisions not enough to cover compensation for millions of customers

The price of deliberately deceiving customers grows for two major lenders bit.ly/472BUwf the biggest offender Lloyds Bank made £6bn profit before tax in 2024 and £7.5bn in 2023, and that was after some provision for this redress. So the £2bn now feared is a payable price

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats" subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

I sometimes worry I exaggerate the collective madness of our media but the people who cheered Brexit, Boris Johnson & Liz Truss's mini-budget are now applauding Kemi Badenoch's speech. 'Parallell universe' doesn't come close. I suppose her not falling over is a win of sorts for them at the moment.

This is a GENOCIDE

Pope Leo says faith and love for migrants are connected In his first major document as leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo urges nations and believers to care for the poorest in society.

Go woke, go Pope

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for

The Senate has just passed the military NDAA containing 2 anti-trans provisions: a surgery ban using federal funds (dependents too), and a sports ban on military academy spaces.

This will be the STARTING point for negotiations with the House, which has even worse provisions.

Only 20 Dems opposed.

NEW: Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado awarded Nobel Peace Prize.

To date the net cost, for UK tax payer, to bail banks in 2008 is around £33 Billion. In November Rachel Reeves should recoup every penny by taxing banks accordingly. Remember Fred the Shred and his massive pension? He and his banking colleagues are laughing at the nation. Tax them all.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.
