On Truss & Kwarteng in ‘22. Allister Heath, Telegraph: “the best budget I have ever heard a British chancellor deliver". Alex Brummer, Mail: “a genuine Tory package elbowing to one side the Treasury's fiscal conservatism".
These men will now be paid actual money for their analysis of today’s budget.

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before.

Dragon House in York was defaced with racist graffiti last week, targeting a family who’ve been part of their community for over ten years.

One window cleaner from Crystal Clean Services stepped up to clear the abuse.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.

Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt.

While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant of +£18.42tn.

That's how privatisation 'works'.

Of all the awful sights at Auschwitz, it was these photos that I wanted to remember. Each someone's son, daughter, mother, father. Each murdered.

We must always remember what happens when people turn to hate. @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social
