Three men.

75% of Reform UK’s donations.

That’s £23m of £30m since 2019.

This is how politics gets bought.

We need a cap on political donations in the next Elections Bill.

Democracy shouldn’t be for sale.

Calls grow for donation caps as Democracy for Sale research reveals that three-quarters of Reform's funding comes from a trio of wealthy donors

Russia's ambassador to the UK, Yakovenko, boasted about Brexit to another diplomat:
“We have crushed the British to the ground. They are on their knees and will not rise for a very long time”
Today, Farage’s close ally, leader of Reform in Wales, was sentenced to 10yrs for taking bribes from Russia.
Brexit has caused almost twice as much damage to the UK economy than estimated by official forecasts, according to new paper from a group of experts including a senior Bank of England economist

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

As things stand, child poverty is on track to reach record highs by 2029-30.

By then, we predict that more than one-in-three British children (34 per cent) would be growing up in poverty.

That's the highest rate of child poverty we'd have seen since 1961 ⤵️ buff.ly/qVc9CWs

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Spain’s marine protected areas (MPAs) are still being decimated by bottom trawling.

We took legal action last year but Spain has issued more fishing licenses for bottom trawling inside these MPAs since then.

So we’re going back to court with @oceanaeurope.bsky.social to protect these zones.
