Delighted that I’ve secured a debate in Parliament on ‘Government support for ME’ next Wednesday 19 November. This provides a valuable opportunity for MPs to share views - the first in years. I hope that many MPs will join me. Do encourage yours! #pwME

Plastic pellets are often mistaken for fish eggs + eaten by sea creatures. Because plastic is so absorbent, it soaks up pollutants from water which are consumed along with them. These beads were being used at a wastewater treatment plant so who knows what they could have absorbed.

Brexit detonated our economy and our politics. Since then, our country seems to have lost its mind, veering off to the right, reawakening the racism genie, ruining itself to try to hide the dishonesty and snowballing damage of it all.
And now Farage could be PM ffs.
Mindblowing self-inflicted idiocy

The right-wing press are terrified of @zackpolanski.bsky.social because he is the first UK politician who doesn’t give a toss for their endorsement and thus can’t be corrupted by them. Worse, he actually revels in their lame attacks. 👏👏👏
Why won't someone think about the poor billionaires????

This kind of (seemingly) reverse corruption needs a look

1. Reform MPs praise JCB endlessly, councillors promote the firm's tech on their authorities.

2. Then the boss gives a £200,000 party donation.

To a cynical eye, it looks like an affiliate rewards scheme

"Lord Bamford's latest political donation makes the point, yet again, that we need a cap on donations."

Maths...

If you make $100,000 a year (not bad), it will take you 10 MILLION years to earn a trillion dollars.

If you make a million dollars a year (wow!), it'll still take you a million years to earn a trillion dollars.

Tax the rich.

Mayors often have the direct connections within their cities to actually get people working together to achieve meaningful change.

Maybe that effectiveness is one reason they're sometimes subject to vicious online campaigns?

Nigel Farage used to believe in reforming the voting system, now he's rowed back because it no longer benefits him.

We will keep fighting for a fair votes, not because it benefits us but because it's right for the country.

If this is what happens when Reform runs a council, just imagine Farage running the country.

Care homes closed and vulnerable people abandoned.

Farage, Tice and Reform have made a fortune for themselves as opposition over the last decade. But now the grifters want to make even more cash in government, just like Trump. Problem is, they have no policies beyond hate, division and constant scapegoating. Their corruption will be PPE on steroids!
