WATCH — @balint.house.gov on the unredacted Epstein files: “There’s a bunch of sick fucks… so many people knew…. Trump never kicked Epstein out of Mar-A-Lago. That’s a lie.”

Productivity increases between 5% and 13% with working from home, and worker wellbeing improves hugely too.

But Farage doesn't care about reality. Or productivity. Or your wellbeing.

He cares about the workplace property investors who bankroll him.

Ofcom under fire after refusing to investigate ‘misleading’ GB News Trump interview US president not challenged over false claims climate change is ‘hoax’ and parts of London have sharia law

But people are encouraged to think it is. If AI acknowledged that it does not know the answer to a question rather than giving wrong responses, I would agree with you. But AI systems are designed to provide an answer, any answer, regardless of whether it is wrong.

Drax knew what it was doing, it knew it was misleading the government and public - adds insult to injury I reckon. The injuries being environmental destruction and enormous profits from subsidies added to our energy bills.

Michelle Mone in ermine robes.

Peter Mandelson in ermine robes.

Peter Mandelson in ermine robes.

So... if it requires an Act of Parliament to remove a peerage, here's an idea: make the Bill for the removal of Peter Mandelson's and Michelle Mone's seats in the Lords and titles. Two birds, one stone and all that.

Reform by-election candidate suggested people who don’t have kids should pay more tax Exclusive: The Reform politician’s suggestion would ‘punish millions of women and strip them of their basic dignity to choose’, Labour’s deputy leader has warned

So as I struggled with miscarriage after miscarriage before having my 🌈 baby, Reform would seriously think I should pay more tax during that agony.

This policy isn’t just a slippery slope to a handmaids tale dystopian future - it’s a deliberate step towards it

The right-wing media & their assault on the PM, is unparalled in my lifetime. Johnson had nothing of the smears & innuendo that Starmer has been subjected to. The Mandelson saga is over-hyped, compared to the 23000 people who died unnecessarily under the Johnson Govt. The media supine over it all.

Do I think Starmer was right in appointing Mandelson? No. Do I think the government should come crashing down to benefit people who have orchestrated Brexit and worked hand in glove with associates of Epstein like Steve Bannon? A RESOUNDING NO.

Barclays reportedly cuts ties with lobbying firm co-founded by Peter Mandelson Vodafone also reviewing its contract with Global Counsel after revelations of former minister’s links to Jeffrey Epstein

Barclays cuts ties with Mandelson lobbying firm. Vodafone may too.

This is public posturing, isn't it.

For years they used Mandelson to gain political advantage despite his history - forced to resign as minister, ambassador, his links with Epstein were known.

Now trying to reinvent themselves.

Rather than bringing Starmer down with the Mandelson/Epstein stuff, perhaps we should accentuate the Bannon/Epstein (and more) stuff which talks about supporting the European far right and breaking the world system.

Via Brexit, Reform UK and the new model Badenoch party tagging along.

Make Peter Thiel into the villain, Democrats.

It's all there.

He is the node that connects Trump, Vance, Palantir, Musk, Epstein, and so many other terrible players.

Just expose it and make him and Musk the face of these psychopathic billionaires ruining our lives.

Peter Mandelson, Palantir & government cosying up to tech billionaires: NHS contract is key, but many more questions to ask, I said in #HouseofLords.

Response: "If there is anything in these papers at all to indicate that further investigation to get to the truth is needed, that will be taken."

Reform UK treasurer named in Epstein files The latest name to surface is billionaire Reform treasurer, Nick Candy, who appears to have been known to individuals within Epstein’s circles

🚨 Guess who is in the Epstein Files, Reform UK treasurer & ‘property tycoon’ Nick Candy 🤔

'Epstein & Maxwell were so enamoured of him that Maxwell was “very disappointed” that Candy didn’t let her know he was coming to town.'

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

This is preying on my mind a bit. Jeffrey Epstein was not primarily a British scandal! So far we've removed a Prince from the Royal family, fired our US ambassador who was one of the most important political figures of the last few decades and banned the CEO of Barclays from the financial industry..

Shell plans up to £4.6mn pay rise for chief executive Wael Sawan UK oil major has consulted shareholders on boosting maximum long-term share awards to £13.8mn a year

Shell plans up to £4.6mn pay rise for chief executive.

Most people will not earn that in a lifetime.

Real wage cuts for workers but no curbs on exec pay, dividends, share buybacks, profiteering.

No workplace democracy: Workers have no say in how wealth is shared.
