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.

Every conflict abroad sends our energy bills soaring at home. The only way out is cheaper, safer renewable energy. Will you join me in demanding an end to the fossil fuel cost chaos? act.gp/4sv5VOP
This really is the only answer. Our dependence on fossil fuels must end. For our planet, and for our society.
The NHS isn't just a policy.
It is the people who make it work: the 999 operator, the first responders, and the surgical teams. It’s the peace of mind we all rely on.
But care is under pressure. Help us protect the future of the NHS.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.
Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

But on a visit to the former railway town last month, the outlook for Sir Keir and his party was bleak. "I'll be voting for Reform - it can't get any worse," said pensioner John Doult, until now a lifelong Labour voter who was among the thousands employed in the town's once-famous car industry. The 86-year-old bemoaned the "terrible" state of the town centre,
“I’ll be voting for Reform - it can’t get any worse”
Oh it really can.
You put a bunch of corrupt, racist, incompetent, lying Trumpists in charge and things will get very much worse.
Potholes and empty shops will feel unimportant compared to the loss of the NHS, social care and a torched economy.
Nigel Farage: People tell me they've always voted Labour, but not any more The Reform UK leader is expecting a political earthquake' in the local elections next month — but insists the era of Tory defections is over Nigel Farage refused to rule out a confidence and supply deal with the Conservative Party if Reform fails to secure a majority at the next general election Steven Swinford, Political Editor Friday April 17 2026, 10.15pm, The Times
The Times seems to be backing their man in the run up to the local elections. Chummy, unchallenging ‘interview’ that reads much more like a Farage advert.
Free passes handed out on his racism, misogyny, corruption, Trumpism, Orbanism, useless councils, dire candidates, failed Brexit…
Really shabby.

Trump comparing himself to Jesus while Vance tries to lecture the actual Pope on matters theological proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the ‘Christian’ element of their support is, morally & doctrinally, about as Christian as a hula hoop. Their conduct is literally unconscionable.
42 racehorses have died in the UK so far this year. 42 in less than 4 months. Yesterday a horse broke its back at Aintree.You can bet your life that if a single jockey died at the Grand National they would finally do something about it.

Among Reform UK’s biggest donors is the Crypto billionaire Ben Delo, who was handed a fawning spread in the Telegraph this week to explain why he is giving £4m to the party.
What is buried in the piece that Delo is a convicted criminal who pled guilty to violating money laundering law in the US
AI-generated content involving animals might seem harmless but it can spread misinformation and create unrealistic ideas about animal behaviour.

Did YOU know Mr Jenrick that tax dodgers, like your mate Tice, cost hardworking families £billions every year?
Also, many of us think the kids of someone unemployed deserve a nice, educational day out every now & then. Not that Mr “paint over children’s murals” would ever see life like that.
Don’t be sucked in by Ladies’ Day at the Grand National, no amount of glamour changes the fact that it’s still animal abuse.

The government promised to bring our railway into public ownership. Their Railways Bill leaves huge parts of our railway in the hands of private profiteers. Ask your MP to make sure it delivers for passengers, not profit. weownit.org.uk/rail-tug-of-...
