Revealed: How foreign billionaires pump millions into British politics The Elon Musk-shaped hole in Starmer’s Election Bill

🔴 NEW: Foreign billionaires are using UK companies to pour millions into British politics — legally.

We found £6m+ in political donations from UK firms owned by foreign nationals — people who can’t vote in Britain.

another #starmer shame, totally out of touch with the country

Did you know?
Israel abducts hundreds of Palestinian children each and every year. They’re the only county on earth with an entire system set up to do this.

Israel is an occupier, and they deserve resistance.

I'm not that old, apparently!

But aye. I'll be on the Scot Indy Podcast next month to talk about how to fix housing.

Money for nothing is why we’re screwed — Common Weal The expectation that every investment must automatically offer enormous returns has bent global economic policy round its fingers. But guaranteed returns are why the West is in so much trouble.

Completely agree with this . Another example of ‘developers’ sitting on important sites is the amazing Govan Graving Docks. Could be a Shipbuilding Museum. Two listed buildings, one bulldozed, one so dilapidated it was used as a war torn scene in the film 1917. www.commonweal.scot/articles/mag...

This is moving.

Kamala Harris feels the pain we feel. Not just from her loss, but from the trauma and abuse our country is living through.

What could have been…

I see a Scottish Guy is suing an American quiz show. He was denied the $50000 top prize when he was told he had answered the final question incorrectly. He however insists he was correct in his answer.. See what you think
Question - Where is Santa Fe
Answer - North Pole
🤣

Did you know?

Glasgow was once Europe's murder capital, so the Scottish Government created a taskforce to treat crime as a symptom of poverty and trauma. They offered jobs and support instead of just punishment.

Murder rates dropped by half.

So I’m guessing there might have been a wee uptick in the stats between 2023 and 2024? One that wasn’t statistically significant if you look at longer term trends? That’s a Level 1 Subterfuge from the Jackie Baillie School of Political Chicanery.

Head shot of Gordon Brown next to the words 'FACT CHECK'.

'The Daily Record’s headline, quoting Gordon Brown saying child poverty in Scotland is getting worse, is not supported by official government figures.
Relative child poverty rates in Scotland fell from 25% in 2021 to 23% in 2024, the most recent statistics available.'

No, you did not give those of us who happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor any due process. And that was profoundly wrong. It destroyed our lives.

How we can fight back against the right-wing coup For a better future the power of corporations and wealthy elites must be curbed and reversed

The UK is in the grip of an ongoing right-wing coup.

It is the main cause of economic decline and social tensions.

Successive govts have been enrolled to make us subservient to corporations and the rich.

Corporate power must be curbed/reversed for a better future.

This still makes me laugh.

Epstein victims speak out: This ‘smacks of a cover up’ Several victims have sent letters to the judges who will decide whether to grant DOJ’s request to unseal the grand jury materials in their cases.

Quite simply he's a Cnut's Cnut. A walking clusterfuck who will do & say anything in order to keep his job.
Just like any other unprincipled politician who has had their seat on the Westminster gravy train. A total bellend of a liar.

Make no mistake: Nigel Farage is the greatest British TRAITOR since William Joyce.

EXCLUSIVE TO ALL NEWSPAPERS POWDER KEG UK ABOUT TO BLOW UP AS BRITAIN STANDS ON THE BRINK OF THE WHOLE NATION DESCENDING INTO CIVIL WAR by Our Apocalypse Staff HELENA HANDCART THE entire country has turned into a tinderbox, one spark and the whole thing could turn into a raging inferno of hatred and violence. All it needs is one little push - preferably from us - and this once peaceful island will explode. It may not take much, maybe an article with some badly researched facts, maybe some exaggerated and provocative hyperbole, and before we know it there'll be blood on the streets, and flames too, as millions of furious citizens attack each other, the police, and the emergency services, not to mention the armed forces should they tragically be called in to deal with the hate-filled mob rampaging through our cities, towns and villages, armed with burning torches and pitchforks, calling for justice, free speech and the immediate death of everyone they don't like. (Top journalism, Ed). Make no mistake, if Britain even exists by next week, we will run this piece again until someone sparks the tinderbox on the brink of the powderkeg that... (cont. for entire summer).

No one sums up the utter shamelessness of the British press and the ugly politics of Farage quite like Private Eye.
