5-6 events per decade had been normal

Just the last two winters we had 4-5

Now we have the next

The Empire created Britain’s wealth.

Yet I can’t remember it ever being mentioned in history at school.

It means many people have no idea why they see the mix of people they the do around them.

Ignorance of history plays into the hands of fhe far-right.

Did you know that since at least 2015 the Government has spent millions every year advertising in the Daily Mail and The Sun.

In 2023 alone you gave £2m to the Daily Mail.

This disgusts me, does it disgust you?

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Autism $peaks raised ~$34m in 2024 and spent 1% on family services and grants to help Autistic individuals. They spend approximately 25% of their budget on lobbying and another 25% on research (primarily on genetic testing and causation, i.e. eugenics). They aren’t trying to make our lives better.
Autism $peaks is the largest and most popular Autism organization (among allistics), who continues to be 100% in support of ABA. They have lobbyists who push ABA as the “gold standard Autism treatment.” It utilizes same practices as “conversion therapy,” which is currently banned in 28 countries.
ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) is the “gold standard” of “treatment” for Autism, and was created by the person as “Conversion therapy” (see Lovaas) with similar techniques and goals. It’s torture that continues to have widespread support and acceptance.

#Reform in #Northumberland are falling apart. Purges, suspensions, backstabbing.

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.

Are you "serious about protecting your bloodline"? That's the very weird hard sell from Property118, an unregulated firm marketing a dodgy tax avoidance scheme.

So are they ripping off HMRC? Or their own clients?

Nigel Farage could never be trusted to run Britain after getting Brexit so wrong'.

Brexit is the biggest self-harm. UK economy hasn't recovered.

Farage, the part-time MP, collects millions from 2nd/3rd jobs, full time MP pay+exps; often missing from the Commons.

Pushes hatred to grab power.
