The husband of the current foreign secretary opining on revelations that number ten told the now sacked head of the foreign office to get a job for one of them but don't tell the then foreign secretary
Voting Reform is the equivalent of voting twice for Trump.
It is an act of pure ignorance, or racism, or both.
And, as we all know, it leads nowhere good.
Please god UK. Do not let that happen. Learn from our mistakes. Learn from America’s mistakes.
Just get your shit together.
The total tax that Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice’s companies avoided through onshore and offshore entities, or simply failed to pay, in relation to Quidnet now amounts to almost £800,000.
This is an absolute scandal !
🇬🇧uk westminster’s Electoral Commission have again permitted ‘Manky Jaiket’, the fascist, Nazi, holocaust denying unionist campaigner, to enter a “GREEN” party in the Regional List
This is being done in order to confuse Scottish Green voters, and to reduce their vote
All GP referrals in England to specialists will now need to go first to Single Point of Access, staffed by non-doctors who will decide if the referral to a specialist goes ahead. This is a US private healthcare model by *Labour*.
This is what Sarwar (orders from Streeting) will introduce in Scotland
$30m an hour: big oil reaping huge war windfall from consumers, extra $234bn by end of 2026
It is Trump's way of rewarding his backers. Corporations always profit from war whilst household/Govt budgets are decimated.
Govts must levy windfall taxes.
The 'news' of a deal between Labour and Reform is no revelation. Bella has already covered these plans - as have the MSM, which now pretends to be shocked and startled. The Unionist plot is completely exposed. bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/04/15/s...
The money men love war.
The money they control ultimately comes from all of us.
Yet who do they vote for?
Who gets their political donations, using the money we give to their banks, their pension funds, and their capital investments?
In the end, capitalism kills.

UK govt loan scheme for first-time home buyers in England mostly helped higher earners.
Median employee wage is £31k, most people can't service mortgages.
Social housing is scarce. Tories destroyed it.
Councils could build cheaper by eliminating profit but lack capital.
Drilling for more oil won't cut bills.
To cut bills and create jobs we need to continue the move towards renewable energy.
Reform are absolute chancers. #bbcdn
Anything is possible in a democracy but corporations and the super rich fund political parties and legislators, control media and means of production.
How Private Equity Captured the US Ambulance Market.
PE controls vehicle manufacturing, prices raised, profiteering. Higher cost of emergency services.
In UK, PE controls water, dentistry, vets, care homes, child fostering, hospitals. What next?
Capitalism worships profit, devoid of humanity.
You'd think this whole bizarre affair would be a far bigger story
Surge’ pricing could be coming to a supermarket near you, Bank of England warns.
Airline style pricing coming to a supermarket near you to boost corporate profits.
Technology to be used to fleece customers, fuel inflation, create poverty.
UK's shadow workforce is paid as little as 65p an hour. Who cares for the carers?
6m unpaid carers provide vital support to sick, disabled, old.
1.4m receive Carer's Allowance of £86.45 a week. More likely to be prosecuted for tiny errors in claims.
Govts don't value humanity.
Corporate Welfare.
UK Govt to give £380m grant to Tata battery factory in Somerset.
The Govt isn't taking an equity stake in return, won't receive any dividends. It isn't a loan and isn't repayable.
Political parties demonize human recipients of welfare but hand free money to corporations.
This is tragically beautiful.
“They’ve learned from Hungary that you have to change the voting rules. That’s how autocrats win elections - by rigging the system. That’s exactly what Trump has been trying to do.”

Starmer says he is ‘fed up’ with Trump and Putin’s impact on UK energy costs.
Energy costs were high even before invasions by Putin and Trump.
Ofgem pricing formula guarantees exorbitant profits. Companies neglect infrastructure investment.
It can all be changed by nationalization.
It’s not even satire….👏👏👏
Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:
I completely agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene is a sentence I never thought I would ever write.
Although voters vote for Labour, Lib Dem etc, they may still would vote for an Independent Scotland 👍
Private equity controls our lives from the cradle to the grave.
Profiteers from hospitals, nurseries, housing, care homes, undertakers.
Business model - high prices, low staffing/wages, high debt, asset-stripping, tax abuse.
Life commodified & financialised.
Profits for the few, misery for many.
Hedge fund billionaire to donate £190m to Cambridge University.
Wealthy elites funding elite universities, deepening the class divide with high intake from private schools
Others face financial squeeze as the state pressed not to increase taxes on corporations and wealthy elites to fund education.
From Roger Scruton cafes to paying Matt Goodwin $10k a month, Viktor Orban has built a network of populist right think tanks, journalists and activists

What the hell else do you gutless, partisan fools need to see happen? What elze does he need to say? What else?
Pop stars famously complained about top-tier tax rates—which exceeded 90% in the UK during the 1960s and 1970s—leading many to become "tax exiles" to avoid paying the vast majority of their earnings to the government.
