Rupert Murdoch who has basically been in control of the UK for 46 years, since he got Margaret Thatcher into power.
Tells you that actually he is doing a good job and the Green Party is bad.
Poor old Rupert is scared he will lose control.

Imagine if I told you that Privatisation was only because they wanted all that money pouring into their pockets instead of back into Public Services.
Now stop imagining because that is how it is.

So very true. He has stated in an interview that if they get to government, he will attack disabled ppl 1st, harder than Labour. You all have been warned ⚠️, just like Starmer warned & nobody listened. Deform, red/blue Tories on steroids.

Green leader Zack Polanski calls for Farage’s resignation over tax, on BBC Any Questions:
"Farage has changed his personal business to make sure he could avoid tax for his appearances on GBNews. That’s perfectly legal, but is that in the Nolan Principles? Absolutely not. [He should] step down too.”

There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth.
It is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.
Closing our staggering wealth gap is crucial to the survival of our economy and our democracy.

UK media is a far right PR machine.
Journalists really need to face up to what they are enabling.
If Farage ends up f***ing up Britain, we will all know who helped it happen.

I expect this kind of shit from the BBC & Sky and that cohort, but I thought better of C4.
They actually led with Farage’s stupid press conference and then @cathynewman.bsky.social asked a few softball questions of a Reform racist without any serious pushback.

Genuinely unreal. Not only do your taxes fund bombing a hospital, and then waiting until more journalists and rescuers rush to the scene to bomb it again — they also fund the perpetrator telling you to your face that it was all just a “tragic mishap.”

This shows what's possible under public ownership of rail, including soon in England. Hope UK Govt ministers are watching
From next Monday, your rail commute will be cheaper.
We’re scrapping peak rail fares in Scotland for good.
Under the SNP, public ownership of rail means fairer prices – making travel cheaper, greener and easier for everyone.

Wealth tax isn't just about revenued. It reduces inequalities, capacity of the rich to bribe, pollute, hijack democracy, hold governments to ransom.
