Failing Tesla is trying to pay Elon Musk $1tn.

This is how Capitalism works all the money is poured into the pockets of a handful of people who did nothing.

On the day that Elon Musk funded Tommy Robinson's legal expenses to return a not-guilty verdict, Just Stop Oil activists were found guilty of public nuisance and may be sentenced up to 10 years in jail.

Make it make sense.

Zohran smiling on the street

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations!

His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind.

It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

Nigel Farage's assault on human rights should reassure us. Here's why IT should come as no surprise that the latest assault on the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) is being led by Nigel Farage ...

We know the European Convention on Human Rights is doing the job it's designed to do when tinpot populists like Farage want to abolish it. It's there to protect us from the likes of him. My column on his campaign to deprive us of human rights protections.

Reform UK, vote Nigel Farage if you think

The Minimum Wage is too high.
The richest 4% earning ยฃ100,000+ pay too much tax.
The State Pension needs to be means tested.
We should get rid of the NHS.
The retirement age is too low.

If you hate yourself, vote Farage.

The government spends ยฃ2.7 BILLION a year on TAX BREAKS for oil and gas companies

Those companies pay billions to their shareholders

And then lay off their workers

Think that's unfair?

Tell Rachel Reeves to stop propping up oil and gas companies and back workers insteadโ€ฆ

The world's poorest people aren't the ones causing large-scale climate breakdown - so why are they expected to pay for it?

Myself and my fellow Green MPs have written to the PM ahead of COP30 urging him to #MakePollutersPay through a tax on the extraction of fossil fuels.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Of course the Republicans want this book banned because this is a true tale of what happens when a fascist felon wannabe dictator gets into power, and he is enabled by the entire Republican Congress, SCOTUS, and the billionaires

Won't happen in the UK?

HMRC makes sweetheart deals with corporations/rich, which parliament can't examine.

NAO said HMRC underestimates tax abuse by wealthy.

Reform UK, the Russian spy and rolls of Kremlin cash: the inside story of Nathan Gill How did a former Mormon bishop end up pleading guilty to taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia in the European parliament?

I knew Gill and Farage and the rest of the UKIP crew in the European Parliament

They were crooks and shysters to a man

They repeated Putin talking points and appeared on Russia Today

UKIP then and Reform now are both a threat to our democracy

Times headline: Michael Heseltine: Reform is fascist. We must stop Nigel Farage

Sub-headline: At 92, the Tory grandee Michael Heseltine is making a comeback. He has harsh words for Nigel Farage and Reform, whose policies remind him of Oswald Mosley and Enoch Powell.

When I said Nigel Farage and Reform have fascistic features and threaten our democracy and minority communities, the press attacked me.

Michael Heseltine compares them to Mosleyโ€™s fascists and there is silence.

The double standard couldnโ€™t be clearer.

The left canโ€™t give this media class an inch.

The Left have 60% of the votes.

There would never be a Right wing Government again.

Lets get it done.

Keir Starmer tries to look tough - and exposes himself as a coward The government's immigration policy is in desperate need of a bold change in direction.

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK๐Ÿ‘‡

1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK

2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves

3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries
