Nigel Farage has said he's “not making any money as a result of being an MP”.
MP's salary is £94k, putting him in the top 5% of earners.
Meanwhile he votes to keep workers on exploitative zero-hours contracts and denies them sick pay.

These are "patriots" who call you a traitor if you, say, oppose racism or stand against genocide.
But they're literally cheering on a hostile foreign leader trying to damage their own country in pursuit of naked aggression.
Amazing stuff!

A lot of British "patriots" siding with a hostile foreign leader who has declared economic war on their country.
A hostile foreign leader who is now looking for anything he can do to damage Britain - because he wants to steal Greenland.
You have all been totally exposed.

The people who came to Brianna's vigil were the many friends, as an isolated trans girl, she had made on social media. The people who were convicted of her murder knew her in real life, and used transphobic slurs to discuss her.

The ferocity with which the vile phrase “a biological male who identifies as a woman” is being embedded across multiple media in Britain is horrifying. It shows how quickly support for eliminationist attacks against trans and gender diverse people is being solidified

Being shoved to the ground and threatened with arrest by the police at the Sarah Everard vigil was probably the single most radicalising moment of my life. But everything about her murder showed the terrifying violent and exculpatory potential of the British state.
The 'give ice qr codes' thing reminds me of when Sarah Everard was murdered by a real policeman using his real police id to kidnap her, and the police & gvt made out the solution was to have a helpline to check that the person bundling you away was a real policeman (as the murderer was)

UK media, incl. the BBC’s flagship political show, is rehabilitating a man who was “best pals” with one of the world’s most notorious paedophiles & still refuses to apologise to Epstein’s victims.
He retains the Labour whip in the Lords. That tells you everything about the political & media class.

He’s utterly unhinged and out of control. Congress could stop this in an instant, but its ruling party, the GOP, has become equally untethered from principle or reality. Too many Americans still cheering this on without any comprehension of the disastrous consequences, for themselves or the world.
President Trump suggested on Sunday that the U.S. could take action against other countries after its attack on Venezuela. He threatened Colombia and its president, described Cuba as “ready to fall” and reasserted his desire to take control of Greenland.
