Musician and meddler in rendered imagery. I live in the deep south of Wales. I am against extremism and corporate theft. No DMs unless we know each other and please ask first otherwise it's a block.

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

No amount of money can buy you popularity. For every person who likes Farage, there are 2 or 3 who really loathe him. The number against him might even go up, the richer he gets. He simply cannot make people like him. And we will not change our minds. We’ll do whatever we can to make him fail.

EXC - We *also* have an MRP out today - which has some very striking findings. Progressives who vote tactically to stop Nigel Farage’s Reform UK could push his party into FOURTH place. The poll also shows Burnham’s Labour is winning back left-leaning voters. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Tory leader Badenoch registers gift of £8,177 for Murdoch meeting in Greece. Travelling abroad to beg favours from Murdoch. What has she promised him? I wonder how far she has travelled specifically to meet victims of Tory austerity, real wage cuts and people queuing at hospitals and food banks.

The Murdochs' News Corp company paid for flights and accommodation for the Conservative leader and her husband to travel to Greece.

‘Donald Burgess, a 92 year wheel chair bound amputee with dementia was hit with a baton, pepper sprayed and tasered by two police officers.’ He died 2 weeks later from ‘causative stress’. The impressive thing is how quickly the police acted, discharging the taser after 1 minute 14 seconds. 🙄

📢 We are UK based but we post quite a bit about the US under Trump. This is because it's the clearest warning of what is coming to the UK should Reform ever win power. All the hate, cruelty, and violence evident in Trump's America would come here. This is why we must defeat Reform at all costs.♥️✊

CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%. CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Thinktank linked to Reform UK calls for abolition of state pension. Means-testing even though people have paid for it. Proposes abolishing inheritance and capital gains tax; cut corporation tax. Enrich the wealthiest. No means-testing. Chaos and cruelty inevitable.

‘Radical’ report likely to influence party’s platform also proposes abolishing inheritance and capital gains taxes

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

Have you noticed how Reform treat other people's legitimate concerns? They laugh, they mock, they intimidate. But they expect their own legitimate concerns to be taken seriously and the media does it automatically. What about the rest of us, the majority?

The media is full of Farage will do this, Farage will do that. Who gives a fuck? He is leader of a tiny party that is 3rd in the polls and slipping. Totally crass political propaganda
