The obscenity and unhinged greed of Musk's trillion dollar pay deal can be seen clearly when you consider that it would allow him to spend a million dollars an HOUR for 114 years, or a million a DAY for 2738 years. These people are not taxed nearly enough.

Another day, another Labour attack on disabled people. The scheme is devolved in Scotland, the tax exemptions which Reeves is proposing to axe are not, but Scot Gov has not been consulted. Anything to avoid raising taxes on the wealthiest, eh?

I've been getting pushback from Labour loyalists for my last posts.
I'll just say this. I'm physically disabled. I depend on my husband, a foreign national with ILR, for support with mobility & daily living. Since Starmer got in the fear & anxiety I experienced under the Tories has only got worse.

Starmer will go down in history as the man who destroyed a 100 year old Labour movement by selling it out to the rich for the sake of his own career and advancement. The Tories are dead, Labour is dead, time for a new left based on the Greens, the Celtic indy parties & the old Labour left.

Keir Starmer has killed the Labour party. Find Out Now puts Labour on 15%, 3% behind the Greens. Labour needs to combat the far right instead of pandering to it.
The poll puts Reform UK on 33%, the Greens on 18%, the Conservatives on 16% and the LibDems on 11%

I keep laughing when royal apologists say Charles took action because the royals don't want to take up Parliament's time. No, he took belated action in order to limit damage and avoid coming under scrutiny that would reveal he & his mother protected & enabled Andrew's abuse & corruption for decades.

I see Sky News is yet again bigging up Reform UK in Scotland. They never do the same with the SNP which is actually expected to win the Scottish elections in 2026 while the Scottish Greens, who are polling strongly, never get mentioned at all.

With anti-immigrant hysteria threatening people with Indefinite Leave to Remain, we've applied for British citizenship for my husband. Our immigration lawyer says it should be straightforward. It's costing us £2755 in total. This gives us security but we are aware it's not an option for everyone.

Wanting Scottish or Welsh independence is not reactionary nationalism. Reactionary nationalism is wrapping yourself in British flags, supporting Brexit & banging on about immigration.
You don't get a free pass from reactionary nationalism because you're British.

Reform MP claims his English nationalist party isn't nationalist and likens supporting the LGBT community to supporting Hamas. It's a fundamental tenet of Anglo-British nationalism that it's better than other nationalisms because it's not nationalist at all.

If you support Reform - a party that wants to strip Indefinite Leave to Remain from people who have lived in the UK for decades, working, paying taxes, and raising families. You do not "have legitimate concerns about illegal immigration". You're just a racist and a tool of the super rich.

Absolutely, we should tell people who are thinking of voting Reform that it's the political equivalent of drunk driving, something only arseholes do.
Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP.
And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.
