Let’s be very clear, what the U.K. actually needs is a fair voting system, fair donation laws & most importantly a media that can actually keep us honestly informed.

@Keir_Starmer promised change so it’s time he started to deliver on these critical issues.

Time for Leveson 3!

Starmer says Israel's escalation of Gaza offensive is 'wrong'
So why are we still supplying component parts for F-35’s to Israel?

Israel lobby funded half of Keir Starmer’s cabinet Exclusive: Labour’s top team has accepted hundreds of thousands of pounds from pro-Israel funders.

Just let this sink in!

Pro-Israel lobbyists have donated to 13 out of Labour’s 25 cabinet members since they were first elected to parliament.

Our Government has been bought and their actions reflect it!

It’s incredible that Farage constantly highlights the problems (small boats) he personally created with his catastrophic Brexit deal but perhaps people are now starting to join the dots?

£22bn of water bill hikes will go to private investors – not cleaning up rivers Investors will see their returns from water bills double over the next five years

I just despair at Starmer as it now seems that our higher water bills will actually fund £22bn in payouts to private investors over the next five years.
This Government is fucking clueless and just panders to the water industry!

Labour's new press secretary is Starmer's most scandalous appointment yet Labour once prided itself on social democratic ideals—but is now comfortable recycling ex-Sun journalists into senior government roles

Labour’s new Press Secretary, previously the editor of The Sun.
In other news “The Sun” is openly a right‑wing tabloid, long associated with sensationalism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, conservative agendas, and visceral hostility toward Labour.

There is something very wrong in a society when all the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a very few people!
Chillingly it means these people have ultimate control & the power to influence & determine Government policy across the whole world..this is beyond dystopian it’s “1984” on steroids!

The last time I saw an image like this was in Auschwitz, history will not be kind to Israel and those that supported them.

In the future people will ask “why was this allowed to happen, why didn’t someone do something”?

Like the Nazis, hopefully they will all be in The Hague!

Corbyn-Greens pact could put seats of Labour ministers like Streeting at risk A tactical voting push between left-wingers and the Greens has been launched off the back of Jeremy Corbyn announcing a new political party

Given Labour’s opinion poll collapse since their huge General Election win, even without Corbyn’s new party, a Corbyn-Greens pact could put seats of Labour ministers like Streeting at risk.

Suggest he needs to ditch the likes of Glasman and McSweeney!

The Online Safety Act is an absolutely horrendous overreach of control, censorship & surveillance that will do little to protect our children & everything to make our personal data available to a myriad of unmonitored companies who can then profit from those details!
What the hell is Starmer doing?

Your Party We're building a new kind of political party - one that belongs to you. Sign up here...

I see the new Corbyn/Sultana party (www.yourparty.uk) is growing in size!
With between 50-100 Labour MPs already unhappy with Starmer, it will be interesting to see how many cross the floor to join it?
Starmer really isn’t reading the room is he?

Angela Rayner decided that NE Security Ltd, a private security company run by a known cocaine drug trafficker who is currently in prison, doesn't need to be audited. The company is part of corporate corruption scandal at Teesside Freeport/SEZ.

Accept that, so why not just park it until they have the time to do due diligence. No policy is better than bad policy.
