If media outlets want to give Farage hours of airtime to talk shit, maybe they could also spend the same amount of time properly scrutinising him for all the ways in which he cheats, lies, grifts and generally does nothing but harm to our country and our democracy.
For balance.

And that’s how you do it.

I am VERY tempted to write another long post about how the decision in the 1970s not to establish a Norway-style sovereign wealth fund in favour of simply using the oil money to prop up finances at the time, has done more damage to the UK than any other decision in history. LONG THREAD, SORRY.

Shell CEO’s pay jumps 60% despite slump in profits at oil company Campaigners say people unlikely to ‘look favourably’ on package for Wael Sawan, which rose to £13.8m in 2025

Shell CEO’s pay jumps 60% to £13.8m. Did yours?

Execs rewarded for profiteering.

Average real pay for workers hardly changed since 2008.

Govts claim worker pay rises are inflationary, but silence on exec pay, dividends, share buyback and corporate tax abuses.

Reform UK candidates know that Farage wants to privatise the NHS. That’s why they’re arguing with him. They know it would be unpopular.

He wants to move to an insurance based system like America.

The public need to know this.

A compromise we can all get behind surely

Elvis would be good.

FACTS:

Net Zero barely nudges your bill.

Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof.

So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.

Rising water bills see pensioners in poverty skip baths Water bills will go up again on April 1. Pensioners like Judith are already feeling the pinch, rationing showers and laundry loads.

Pensioners in poverty skip baths as water bills rise.

Full state pension (received by 35% of pensioners) is less than 50% of minimum wage.

2m UK pensioners live in poverty.

In 2024-25, 88,000 pensioners died in poverty.

Govts don't curb profiteering.

Poverty is a political choice.

How democratic is the UK? The UK has a crisis of democracy

UK democracy in action.

Thousands of unpaid carers prosecuted for inadvertently breaching benefit rules.

No Post Office exec prosecuted for false prosecutions of postmasters.

In 2017, 72 people died in Grenfell fire. Execs “deliberately concealed” the fire risks of cladding. No one prosecuted.

Funeral director issues Share your experience of poor funeral director care and service to help us strengthen the case for independent regulation.

Poppy's Funerals and @quakersocialaction.bsky.social have created a form for people to submit bad experiences with funeral directors to offer as evidence to the government, as they consider whether to regulate this sector. If you have any such feedback, drop it here.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Can’t go wrong with a bit of fusion food. Looks yummy.
