James Dyson owns more UK land than the actual KING. But he pays an effective tax rate of LESS THAN 1%* on his total wealth.

Here’s a novel idea @keirstarmer: to fund schools and hospitals, TAX THE BILLIONAIRES.

📍Station Lane, Bristol - near James Dyson’s £20m country estate Dodington Park

The BBC made Nigel Farage.

Let that be the end of any nonsense that the BBC has a left-wing bias.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

Yep. And to think that so many people think this man is some sort of hero is such a sign of our twisted times.

Just a tiny selection of random cut out art elements from my “Coal Face - The Devil in the Smoke” book.
I am going to be creating an animated ‘project’ using the hand drawn cut out pieces.
I did something similar for Sony on “MediEvil” a few years ago but want to make something much better/refined.

And this weeks award for genuinely brilliant goes to this absolute legend who school our politicians… bravo sir, bravo.
👏 "There are over four million kids in child poverty in the UK and there are four and a half million people who can't get a dentist appointment."

"We spend 90% of the political capital and discourse and media focus discussing 37,000 people."

I called out a Reform MP’s racist comments in Parliament today.

I withdrew calling her a racist for her racist comments. But let’s be clear - racism has no place in Parliament or our politics.
