When Brexiteers like Farage wanted Brexit, they promised us that £350 million a week would go to the NHS.

Now Brexit has failed they tell us the NHS is a waste of money and piling more cash in is pointless.

That we should have a private model.

Look who benefits, every single time

Isn't it pleasing to know that despite the best efforts of people like Jeremy Clarkson and Nigel Farage, rich farmers who don't want to pay any tax, and the mainstream media's non stop coverage. The British people are not interested.

Guess what they are interested in? The NHS

Not only did they back the Tories. They backed BREXIT.

They screwed over the country for their own selfish needs.

This @bsky.app is absolutely nailing in it in every way. In layout & functionality it already feels like home. If numbers keep growing in this phenomenal way & with advertisers fleeing X like rats leaving a sinking ship I can’t see how the other place can survive, at least not in its present state

John Prescott was a politician both behind and ahead of his time. Considered too bluff and old Labour to reach to the very top in the 90s, today his authenticity and class credentials would have been perfect to fight Farage and populism. Labour needs more like him.

I can't tell you how glad I am that we have a Labour Government in charge right now. Can you imagine still having the Tories in charge?

Tonight there will be a Blue Supermoon at 9:35 ET

The moon will appear about 8% larger than a normal full moon and 15% brighter than a normal full moon.

The next one won't be until January 2037. Keep any eye out tonight!

On Monday we learnt that 1 in 3 children are living in poverty…

And that deprivation has hit a record high

Given their new found compassion for struggling Brits

Where’s Jeremy Clarkson, Nigel Farage and Andrew Lloyd Webber to fight their corner?

…anywhere?

If you're wondering why the media is on the side of the land owners who don't want to pay their taxes, it's because protesting is only bad when poor people do it x

Can you imagine if you decimated an entire industry with a promise to deliver made-up sunlit uplands with Brexit and then showing up to their protest when everything has turned to dust?

Yet they lap it up

Child poverty not Farmer poverty.
Children accounted for the biggest rise of any social group falling into poverty a shocking new report has found - a record 36%, or 5.2 million children are now in deprivation

Child poverty is the big issue of our time. We have got to end it

You have to admire Nigel Farage - who else would have the nerve to pretend to be the defender of farmers, after selling their whole industry down the river with his Brexit shitshow.

This is not a farmers tax.

This is not a tractor tax.

This is a tax on estates worth over £2,000,000 paying 20% on that asset (only over 2mil).

There is a reason
Jeremy Clarkson called his farm diddly squatt. It's the tax he intends to pay.

Why can't farmers gift their assets to their children earlier, thus avoiding IHT altogether?
