Keir Starmer, "For the leader of the opposition to call for another inquiry, when the Conservatives didn't even implement the 20 recommendations from the Jay report"
"It shows that trying to get noticed is becoming more important than the issue itself"

Political donations are institutionalized bribery.
Donors get access to policymakers, shape laws, tax privileges, lax regulations, govt contracts/subsidies, honours, power.
Banning political donations is a necessary step for free and fair elections and democracy

How our democracy has been hijacked by corporations and wealthy elites
The only effective remedy is to ban all private donations, or bribes, to political parties.

A reminder that the current leader of the Conservative party describes herself as a "huge fan" of this "fantastic" man
Elon Musk has called for far-right agitator Tommy Robinson to be released from prison, suggested the US should exert economic pressure on the UK to get him out, said Jess Phillips should be jailed and said there should be fresh elections to oust Labour

Ok. Musk is insane. An out-of-control lunatic ketamine-soaked billionaire in charge of the White House with a feverish grudge against our govt and Starmer in particular. Reform and the Tories disgrace themselves by their fawning, unpatriotic and dangerous association with him.

Elon Musk is starting to risk getting Jess Phillips killed. She's been safeguarding minister for six months. She oversaw nothing relating to the rape gangs. As an opposition MP she was one of the most prominent campaigners for the victims.
What he's doing is a travesty.
