So disgusted at the kakistocracy in the US and it's implications for the rest of us that I'm going to try and conquer my X addiction by joining BlueSky.

Is Farage still facing scrutiny over his partner’s £885k Frinton home.
Is it aggressive tax avoidance? Has he misled voters? Where’s the transparency? What’s happening?
Just asking questions.

Watched BBC 6 o clock news. Just a completely unserious broadcast. Chris Mason, acting like a children's entertainer, giving a prolonged impenetrable editorial. Not a whiff of informative content about the Budget or what it means for the country. Just playschool blah blah bollocks.

All of us: Why, in our judgement, Chris Mason is misleading on most political points, all the time.
Because he’s incapable of political commentary that isn’t marinated in his own rightwing bias. Allegations for Labour. Free passes for Tories/Reform. Every Single Time.

The Chancellor chose not to share some information on tax receipts in an unusual press conference, given before the Budget.

The press (both left and right) have been manufacturing crisis after crisis since Labour came to power. IMHO they are a big part of why we continue to stagnate and why fear of Reform dominates no10 policy. Labour need room to breathe and they aren’t getting it.
