Enough is enough.
Starmer must go.

“Farage rarely turns up to do his actual job. Yet he finds time to jet off around the world on his donor’s private plane and trouser half a million quid while families struggle. Reform are not on your side. They’re just in it for themselves”
It’s so obvious, it hurts.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
Oh! A Starmer Government overseeing this scandal. There is good money to be made from the sick and dying. Nationalise the NHS!

Here's the programme-by-programme dossier in which the @thenewworldmag.bsky.social reviewers tracked the breaches of broadcasting codes which Ofcom seems happy to ignore www.thenewworld.co.uk/the-gb-news-...
If (as Andrew Neil says) GB News has become Reform TV then maybe there’s a case for the @ElectoralCommUK to start taking an interest app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/72784/...
It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people.
We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government.
This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.
Truly one of the all time great takes
Still no condemnation from UK government Is there anything Israel does that will finally make this government call it for what it is A genocidal ,apartheid state .
How much subsidy does the UK government give to fossil fuel companies? £17.5bn in 2025.

Israel has pushed ground forces into multiple areas of southern Lebanon
They've displaced huge numbers of civilians...
Yet it barely registers.
Russia did the same in Ukraine and the world responded with sanctions, outrage and coordinated pressure
The double standards are UNFORGIVABLE.
But behind the scenes, Israeli officials have conveyed a more targeted message. In private calls to local leaders across southern Lebanon, Israeli military officials have assured several Christian and Druse communities that they could remain in the evacuation zone. They have pressed them, however, to force out any Lebanese from neighboring Shiite Muslim communities who have sought refuge among them as Israeli bombardment flatten Shiite towns, according to local Christian, Druse and Shiite leaders who spoke to The New York Times. The Shiites make up the majority of southern Lebanon.
So what this describes is ethnic cleansing www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...
It is striking how little media appetite or interest there has been for the Covid inquiry's conclusions
Turns out Ipswich Town did invite Farage to their ground.
The CEO and COO had lunch with him, and gifted him six "Farage 10" club shirts. Senior staff complained.
@theathleticfc.bsky.social suggests the club lied about their involvement with the Trumpophile's visit.

We can’t let dodgy donations poison our politics.
I wonder if Nigel Farage agrees?
Important for understanding the context for Farage’s witless opposition to ‘net zero’.
“Keep politics out of football.” Nigel Farage
The Israeli government has displaced a total of 6 million people from their homes. (3 million Iran, 2 million Gaza, 1 million Lebanon).
6 million people.
The equivalent of the entire population of Maryland displaced from their homes.
By one government.
Israeli authorities admit they killed this family. They shrug and say they're 'investigating'. How many Labour MPs belong to Labour Friends of Israel? I spit on your morals and loyalties .. you should hang your heads in shame! 🤬
The CEO of the company Starmer, Streeting & @labouruk.bsky.social have decided to hand over more contracts & data too. #votegreen
#R4Today Jeremy Bowen - this is a 'war of choice' there is NO evidence of any threat coming from Iran to justify a 'pre-emptive' strike on Iran.
If Starmer doesn't come out and condemn these actions unequivocally, he loses even more credibility.
ABSOLUTELY AGREE 💯%.......
BREAKING: Richard Tice is to announce Reform UK's plans to introduce a "Great Repeal Bill" that will scrap Labour's Employment Rights' Act and rent reforms

“Triple lock on pensions is open to debate, says Nigel Farage - The Times and The Sunday Times”
Say the millionaires for whom it will be irrelevant.
I listened to Dante’s Inferno on @BBC4 this afternoon - vivid descriptions of eternal punishments for condemned souls based on their earthly actions.

This won't win you cheap votes anywhere, but at least its truthful!
Britain isn't broken and we haven't been colonised by anyone. Don't fall for the divisive garbage and fake news spewed out by angry far-right nationalists who spend most of their time downing alcohol.
If any of you think this ends with Prince Andrew in jail, you do not understand the dynamic of ruling elites...
Remember her name: Aliya Rahman
Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.
It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.
ICE MUST GO‼️
Peter Mandelson isn't a glitch. He offers a glimpse into how Westminster works. The public already knows it. Now more politicians must face upto it - and act.
