The Righteous Rupert Lowe-Life preached about leaches sucking the financial blood out of Britain. This is the same Whoopert Lowe-Life whose company took £100k in furlough cash despite making £7.9 million profit He really didn’t need it but it was free, it was available so he took it like a leach
I just can’t believe we’re seeing this sort of stuff from a sitting MP Just want to say to British Somalis that you are loved and I’m so, sorry this is happening.
You can’t decide sentencing and prison policy by consulting ‘public opinion’.
Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.
Now mixing in paid advertisements into his normal corruption.
This is what happens when anti-racism norms erode, and elites bear a lot of the responsibility for norm erosion, as they have disproportionate power to set and enforce norms
Charles EP Murphy@cepmurphy.bsky.social · 2d agonews.sky.com/story/nhs-st... stereotypically this has been seen as Old People, but not only would the old people of now have often been born post-Windrush, lot of this will be younger people who've always lived in a diverse Britain.

I honestly don’t know how anyone can be in the room when he says this kind of shit and not say ANYTHING. That’s not how you talk to people! Hit him with a rolled up newspaper or SOMETHING.

I guess he's just lucky there's no record of him supporting Net Zero
'Odd' that GB 'News' haven't immediately asked how it's to be funded, as they would if it was - eg - a Labour policy to help the poor. 🤔
I would rather hear fingernails on the chalkboard.😣 If you're already a subscriber to Public Notice &want to show @atrupar.com some extra appreciation for sitting through MAGA circus every day so we don't have to,send a few bucks to his Venmo (@atrupar) for a coffee/beer,or a giant bottle of Advil!

Between the 1970s and 1990s the UK state made a strategic bet to expand Higher Ed. They poured in untold billions of your money. Now it's been handed over to private creditors to burn in a furnace. Then they just laugh at you: at all the taxes you've ever paid or will ever pay. True story. (2/2)
So it's farewell to the History subject area at the University of Hertfordshire, not the first nor the last to go. One of the best departments in the country, just extinguished like a snap of the fingers. Think of the waste. (1/2)
But that would mean I already knew I was going back into politics when I accepted the £5 million, so I'd have been lying when I said I didn't need to declare it.
The name of this playlist is hilarious 😂😂😂 the songs are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
If I was this stupid and incompetent, I would be out of a job... just saying.

Radio 4’s World at One should be ashamed of the interview it ran with a Ceuta representative of Vox, the Francoist party. Fully adopting a colonist’s language of violent masses of ‘migrants’ to ‘Spain’ when these people have merely moved a few hundred metres in Africa.
A fascist party founded just months ago polled 8.7%, ahead of the Conservatives, in the Manchester mayoral election. What’s happening on the right of British politics is terrifying.

A reminder that the orange felon had his disgusting motorcade drive directly over the entirety of the Reflecting Pool after he began destroying it, he’s the one who needs to be charged with vandalism and destruction of govt property. He should be in jail, not in the White House.
I wish the Conservatives were as alarmed as I am about them finishing *behind Restore* in the Greater Manchester byelection.
