Hey British media,
It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning.
Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

Hey @theguardian.com England is not Britain. Britain is not England. Scotland and NI voted Remain. This is - as so often - careless journalism from the Grauniad.

Clearly, the Daily Mail is keeping the story about Keir Starmer's overdue Famous Five library book from 1971 for a future edition.

The Tories left us with a toxic legacy of making the public think we should have less immigration, including skilled immigration, whilst cutting investment in the training of our own young. There are now a million young NEETs and British industry is suffering a skills shortage.

Absolutely damning.

Seems that the British government made not attempt to find out if the Russians had interfered in the EU Brexit referendum.
In case you missed it ...
Here's a damning verdict from the Intelligence & Security Committee regarding Boris Johnson's half-baked report into Russian interference in the Brexit ref. Basically, they didn't even bother looking for any! Surely now it's time for a public enquiry into Putin's Brexit!

If it looks like market manipulation and smells like market manipulation, then it is market manipulation but goodness, watching the Magats try to make this fit a narrative makes my head hurt.
Is the president telling his followers to buy stocks in order to manipulate the market?

Is this legal?

Astonishing #bbcnews bias again. When reporting on British Steel and possible nationalisation, they show a quote from just one person -Farage. Reform have just 4 MPs now. No quote from and MP from the government, the opposition, the LibDems or Greens, who all have more MPs than reform.

Ofgem's energy pricing formula enabled companies to make £514bn operating profit.

Price of electricity determined by the most expensive input i.e. gas.

Electricity from wind, solar, nuclear, biomass, hydro cheaper but price determined by cost of gas.

Customers ripped-off. Companies make billions.
With bills having gone up, it’s time to take energy back into public ownership
The obscene profits of the energy industry show the sector is broken

This fella has sussed out how the made up tariffs that each country has been allocated was arrived at.
UK has no special relationship, it just doesn't produce enough to have a trade deficit with the US.
