So typical of Jonny Dymond and #BBCnews to begin today’s #WATO recap of Iran’s history with the 1979 Islamic revolution instead of the illegal US/UK coup which removed the democratically elected Mossadegh administration in 1953

@yourparty.scot 4 days to endorse IAN DRUMMOND to be a Scotland candidate for #YourParty UK Central Executive Committee. He's an excellent bloke and I think he needs to be on the final ballot. If you're registered in Scotland, please vote for Ian, and join if necessary; starts at £1.50/mth!

We now get Home Office press releases about immigration nearly every day. Interesting to note the language. They obviously want to be seen to be taking action, but “illegal migrants” are not the same as “asylum seekers”

@cerysmatthews.bsky.social Great hearing that explanation of tonal differences between #digital and #analogue from your guest
Am I right though that #6Music is only digital? Could there be an analogue revival for music radio?!

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?
