"Official reject the idea" of a 2% wealth tax, by... pointing to what people pay in income tax.

Ahead of the May local elections & Runcorn by-election, we need to remind anyone considering voting Reform:

A vote for Farage is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Farage is a vote for Musk.
Vote Farage... If you want to kiss Trump's arse.

Feel free to 'flood the zone' with these images.

Incidentally, Reform MP Rupert Lowe - a multimillionaire landowner who's just lost the party whip - was given £20,000 in January by wealthy Norfolk businessman & landowner Bolton Agnew, owner of Oulton Hall

I'd love to see the *highly* charismatic Rupert Lowe MP become leader of Reform UK. He has all the right credentials - a multi-millionaire landowner endorsed by Elon Musk. #HowLoweCanYouGo

Cutting aid to fund defence, Mr Starmer, is both cruel and self-defeating. I agree we need to defend ourselves. But creating a less stable, less humane world is no way to do it.

If you don’t want history to be re-written please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call this boll**** out with the actual facts
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it

We cannot allow them to rewrite history.

If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely

Vital reading for the government with its current obsession with growth at all costs (growth of what and for whom is never spelt out). A commitment to restore nature was conspicuous by its absence from PM’s Plan for Change, launched last month - that urgently needs to change 👇

Make no mistake. Every politician, pundit & online grifter amplifying Musk's dangerous lies will be aware of this intervention by now. Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.

"For nature to be restored to a past version of itself, the question might be less one of human absence, than what form human presence can take."

A good exploration of ecological change, abandonment & how humans can sustain rich mosaics of habitats:
