Australia is set to introduce a new bill capping the amount billionaires can spend on political parties, proving it really is that simple.

Given the largest factor by far stopping UK economic growth is Brexit - how was leaving the European Union without a plan for growth outside it at best not grossly irresponsible and at worst gross negligence on the part of the previous government?
Kemi Badenoch says Tories made 'mistakes' on Brexit & left EU ‘without plan for growth'

The Shadow Foreign Secretary today agreed

How was that not at best grossly irresponsible & at worst gross negligence on part of Tory Gov’t & why are Labour not hammering them with it?

This is Lord Rothermere the owner of the Daily Mail.

He lives in a massive mansion in the English countryside, but he pays no tax here because he identifies as French.

While the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and pays no tax anywhere.

That is his ‘Patriotism’.

This is a reminder, that now, under Labour and @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social - 20% of NHS funding (from us the tax payer) - gets rediverted to the private sector.

In return they see 10% of patients (the simplest cases no less).

This is not a good business model.

Private equity is a horror story for the NHS - yet one fifth of the health service budget goes to it
Numerous studies have found private equity is associated with worse patient outcomes due to NHS privatisation - and 'preventable deaths'

Is this Britain's sorest loser?

In July, Labour's @jonashworth.bsky.social was defeated by independent candidate @shockatadam.bsky.social.

Shockat is an optician.

A new optician opened opposite him. See what Ashworth posted, and the response.

Ashworth went on to delete the post.

Anyone misled into voting for Brexit, whose export business is now being impacted by GPSR, has the right to be bloody furious with Farage and Bojo.
