@humanists.uk It is all so predictable. The detail is not important. Just another way to stir division. Divide and conquer. We do not need to put singing in schools as a top issue. We need to focus on growing inequality.

Only a few months ago, Reform UK candidates were promising to lower Council tax while balancing the books ... "Darren Grimes’ Reform council faces £83 million financial black hole" www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/dar...
Just the BBC treating this like it‘s the most normal story, and not the most batshit crazy thing ever.
Can Trump really pay $5,000 to every American adult?
Analysts question if the US president's election year offer is workable, legal or affordable.

Is rhis not one of a number of Contracts awarded in connected circumstances. Here in the UK, accelerated Covid PPE contracts were awarded to companies introduced by MPs, Lords and connected relationships. We really need to avoid this kind of contract to promote transparency.
Newshound411@newshound411.bsky.social · last wk.It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

Shruti Bhargava@shrutinha.bsky.social · last wk.The far right propaganda design of the @bbc news machine including @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social really is shocking. What are you going to do about this @andyburnham.bsky.social Lisa Nandy @labourpartyuk.bsky.social

This is pure Treasury Extraction. We'd be better off building hospitals.
Prem Sikka@premnsikka.bsky.social · last wk.UK’s biggest private hospital firm Spire in £1.03bn takeover by hedge fund Toscafund known as “the Rottweiler” Value driven by NHS contracts. Spire has 45% gross profit margin New owner will be aggressive. Privatisation bleeds the NHS, money buys less. Must increase NHS capacity.
Reform's Zia Yusuf: “The frontrunner being foisted on Holborn by Labour to replace the former PM in our parliament was born in Somalia. Do you understand what’s happening?” Reform London mayoral candidate, British-Egyptian Laila Cunningham: “I don’t understand what he meant." Yeah, you do, hun...

Ask any Reform Councillor, how voting against stopping donations from foreign-based tax-avoiding billionaires squares with - being patriotic - taking back control "Nigel Farage and other Reform MPs voted against limits on foreign donations two days ago" www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/nig...
Nigel Farage, four other Reform MPs voted against new foreign donation laws THIS WEEK
Another week, another nightmare for Nigel Farage. Even his recently-updated voting record is showing him up...

The situation is an emergency. The country is under attack.
It's Nazism, again. Do you know what genocide is? Cultural genocide, too, for example? This is that. You're not seeing it on your IG or TikTok feeds, visceral, bloody, violent, but it's ongoing. Why don't you care about it, say, as much as other things? Why don't you SAY something about it?
Kristian Kiehling@kristiankiehling.bsky.social · 2w agoIn addition to the hundreds of thousands of children who have been taken out of Ukraine and sent to russia,approx 1.6 million children in occupied Ukrainian territories are being 'russified'. When Germany invaded Poland,the Nazis took 200,000 Polish children with the intention of 'Germanising' them.

"Nigel Farage offers a different politics" Yes The politics of US Corporate greed. That is... "Monetise everything for personal gain" Note the quote "Sadly, we do not have backers from the UK" Bought and paid for by US greedy devils. #Petergeoghagan
Data centres : Daft question No1 What happens ro all the water in a data centre? Is it cooling? Is the problem that they could recycle the water, condense the steam, capture all of it but it's cheaper to just draw cold stuff from a river? Is that a thing? Otherwise, where else is it going?
I posted earlier about Reform & Tories having same paymaster with the same Objective: Pass the UKGovt into the hands of billionaires. Lowe is a kind of super-sub. Brought in by the manager (billionaire media) when they want to change the narrative. Why today? To take time off Burnham's speech?
Anti-Reform@antireform.bsky.social · 2w agoHitler came to power after unleashing street thugs inciting riots against minorities blamed for all Germany's ills - the poverty, homelessness, ill-health - rather than the Nazis billionaire backers who could have ended poverty if only the government had decided to #TaxTheRich
As seen in UK, too? Angina proud of how our Regulators have enforced agreements? Me neither.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2w agoThe massive nationwide electricity rate hikes aren’t happening simply because utility services have gotten more expensive or customers have been receiving better service. It’s because utility monopolies have bought off the system that’s supposed to keep them in check. Watch.
Yep And they want The UK Treasury.
Broken Politics 🌍@landofbritain.bsky.social · 2w agoEnough money buys you everything... from private viewings of national treasures to whole governments. Sickening.

A vote for ReformUK is a vote for unqualified people. We need money out of politics but unqualified people are in politics to accelerate corporatisation. We need MPs interested in improving the UK. We are under assault from people with money that want our Treasury. Don't vote for Hesketh types.

PSA: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
Can we just talk about the big picture? Individual stories are weaponry. The contents of the story are not relevant. Their stories are to get people talking and importantly, distracted. Reform's objective is the important story: -Repeat the corporate takeover of UK Government.- As seen in USA.
