What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

I've just learned that Tory anti-immigration hardliner Robert Jenrick has an immigrant wife. But it's OK, she's white.

Rising racism blamed for collapse in number of foreign nurses coming to UK.

UKIP/Reform/Farage damaged the economy with Brexit, now destroying the NHS.

The UK is an ageing society, without immigration the economy can't function. Will we ever get an honest debate?

What did Karl Marx predict?

He predicted that under unrestricted Capitalism money would be concentrated into the hands of a handful of individuals, that Governments would become controlled by the richest, and that wages would be subsistence level.

He was right.

Now’s a good time to remind you Farage attended a Private Dinner at The Carlton club where he & guests laughed at Hitler jokes & sung ‘we’re all racist now’👇🏼👇🏼

Comic Dominic Frisby sang: “we should have let the Nazis win”

Claims he’s not a racist but loves Nazi jokes & enjoys singing he’s a racist😉

The dinner was attended by Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage, Liz Truss, Robert Jenrick and Lee Anderson among other high-profile political figures.

Listen to this American still working 40 hours a week when he's 88 because his wife got sick and he had to sell his house.

This is what they want to do in the UK.

🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin must have ordered the Novichok nerve agent attack on Russian double agent Sergei Skripal in 2018, in a "reckless" display of power that led to the death of an innocent woman, a UK public inquiry concluded on Thursday.

This is how Chris Mason, like a child filled with wonder, described "the choreography and theatre that surrounds a Budget" in Feb 2024, when a male Tory Chancellor was in post.

"Plans, or even just options, can be floated... Reaction to them can be tested. Opponents can be teased or wrongfooted." 👀

Thames Water half-year profits leap to £386m after bills rose by nearly a third.

Leaks and sewage dumping will continue for years.

£20bn+debt. A third of the bill covers interest payments.

Captive customers have no choice.

End the scam. Nationalise water.

They are all the people who were at the heart of the conservative deception on the british people!!
But we'll welcome former Tories Jonathan Gullis, Danny Kruger, Lee Anderson, Nadine Dorries, Ann Widdecombe, Lucy Allen, Jake Berry - the former chair of the Tories, for God's sake - Andrea Jenkyns, Maria Caufield, Lia Nici ... 20 of them so far.

They should never be forgiven. Except those ones.

Reform plc. the home for liars, chancers and thieves!
The hypocrisy 👀

"'Tories will always let you down’ says Farage, as his party collects more Tories.'"

And just last year, Gullis insisted there was “not a cat’s chance in hell.”

👏 Keir Starmer PM: "How Brexit was sold and delivered was wrong. Wild promises were made to the British people and not fulfilled."

"The idea that leaving the EU was the answer to all our cares and concerns has clearly been proved wrong."
