Desperate headlines from the Mail (and the Telegraph) about Sadiq Khan being knighted in the New Year’s honour list
I’m a LIbDem but it seems to me that someone who wins three elections in a row qualifies for a knighthood
More so than Shaun Bailey, who lost to Khan and is now in the Lords

World’s biggest bank shuns UK bonds over minimum wage fears.
Pathetic. Millionaires at JP Morgan resent that the poor may be able to afford food, housing, education, pension.
Can't recall bankers concerned about dangers from their own speculation & profiteering.
It is class war.

Oh god. The inevitable Daily Mail tantrum at a Labour govt edging towards a slightly less ruinous relationship with our own continent.
What do these idiotic nationalists want? Permanent hostility? Endless cost and loss?
‘Betraying’ Brexit is an act of patriotic necessity now, you howling clowns.

Self proclaimed “patriot” Farage is so patriotic he used a tax haven to avoid paying taxes like me and you 🤬
He now gets paid tens of £1,000’s by a company advising others on how to swerve paying tax
You don’t patriotism like that for free… but you can if you get your cheque book out❗️

We’ve updated our Clacton billboard to tell voters their MP just took £40k from a US firm that advises clients how to offshore their money and pay less tax. For the full story see video below 👇

I am generally against making voting difficult by requiring ID etc, but I am increasingly thinking that an IQ of over 25 should be required. Trump and Reform would instantly cease to be a threat.

"Some 56% of farmland bought in 2023 was sold to landowners who were not working farmers.” 💰🧐
Whose land? Tax avoidance and the broken economics of British farming
Noise in the billionaire press about inheritance tax changes hides a basic fact: the non-farming rich own too much land

Labour’s commitment to abolish hereditary peers is finally in motion, with the Bill advancing in Parliament. It’s a chance to bring the Lords closer to representing modern Britain, not a 17th-century aristocracy | Jenny Rhodes
The truth about an archaic tradition Labour wants to abolish
For centuries, Parliament has had ‘noblemen’ sitting in the House of Lords, solely due to their ancestral lineage – but their days are numbered
