@REVMAXXING It's not that @elonmusk is a lying fraud, I suspect that:
- Elon Musk is surrounded by 'Yes' people, probably men
- he has an agenda which does not allow for adverse comments
- his ego does not allow him to be wrong, reinforced by 'yes' men

Raise your hand if you think Elon is a lying fraud 🖐️

UK inflation (CPI) rate has crept to 2.6%.
Govts response: Force impoverished people to hand wealth to banks; enrich bankers & shareholders.
Real cause of inflation is profiteering.
Govts must curb profiteering. Tax the rich, they have excess cash.

Farage says there's nothing wrong with Elon Musk donating to Reform UK.
Here's what he said about US-based billionaire George Soros donating to UK and European human rights and pro-EU groups.
"This is an organised attempt... to undermine nation states, to undermine democracy".

Here’s a curious tale involving Boris Johnson, the annual allowance for former Prime Ministers, and the man Kemi Badenoch chose to stand in for her at PMQs last month. Oh, and £67,803 of taxpayers’ money handed to Johnson that he wasn’t entitled to claim. (1/8)

Keir Starmer wants to build 1.5m homes by 2029
Commendable. BUT
Govt doesn't build homes. Councils can't
Private sector lacks capacity
Materials shortage - 500m bricks imported, 1.3m metric tons cement; lack of wood, steel
Shortage of skilled labour
Anyone connecting the dots?

"63% of inspected Welsh farms non-compliant with new pollution rules."
"New pollution rules"? That of course would be the Farming Rules for Water, first mooted in Brussels 1998, enacted in the UK in 2003 as part of the Water Framework Directive and brought into force here in 2018.
Farmers now have had 26 years to prepare for this. How many more do they think they should be allowed to do nothing more than comply with the law?

The Tories saw a national emergency, when people were dying, as a chance to steal our money & give it to their friends. You can bet they tied it up in contracts that’ll make it hard to recover the money. But crimes were committed. Surely people should go to prison? @mrjamesob

The Brexit Curse
British food exports to EU ‘have fallen £3bn a year since Brexit’.
Border checks, lower standards on pesticides, veterinary drugs, animal welfare make UK exports harder.
Brexit costing UK economy about £100bn a year.
Rejoin EU.

"Water utilities’ debt crisis fuelled by Moody’s views, says Ofwat."
Holy sh*t can you believe this. @ofwat is now blaming corporate credit rating agency @moodysratings for the shambles that is @thameswater.
Obviously nothing whatsoever to do with the water industry economic regulator (Ofwat) not knowing a damn thing about what they were supposed to be doing in the first place. The end is nigh, for both.

UK politics infiltrated by ‘dark money’.
Cash from dictatorships, shell companies, companies that never made profit, unincorporated associations with secret funders.
The reward is govt contracts, lax laws, favours.
Must ban all political donations.

Here's how the water industry works. In the year that your company posts a huge loss you still manage to pay shareholders £125m in dividends and give your CEO a £300,000 pay rise and even that's after poisoning a whole town.
And @Ofwat does what exactly?

I predicted and warned that Labour would continue the Tories nationwide SEZs/Freeports scam, Starmer has announced more deregulation and more SEZs plus a Govt partnership with Blackrock, the most criminally corrupt shadow bank in the world.
The UK is being privatised.

Last week Starmer announced a government partnership with Blackrock, I have not seen one UK news outlet giving a critical reaction to this bombshell, Blackrock will absolutely privatise the UK.

🚨BREAKING: Texas Sues BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard for Illegally Conspiring to Manipulate Energy Markets, Driving Up Costs For Consumers Texas will not tolerate the illegal weaponization of the financial industry in service of a destructive, politicized ‘environmental’ agenda. BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street formed a cartel to rig the coal market, artificially reduce the energy supply, and raise prices. Their conspiracy has harmed American energy production and hurt consumers. This is a stunning violation of State and federal law.

Czech Billionaire Daniel Křetínský is taking over Royal Mail for £3.5bn.
His first step is to halve mail deliveries which will save £300m by getting rid of staff.
Prices will go up, employee's down, services down.
And every penny in profit goes to his tax haven accounts.

The government’s latest accounts show its debt’s fallen massively youtu.be/nNcNuDKSKAc?si… The government’s own accounts, just released, show that its total liabilities owing fell between 2022 and 2023 by £1.5 trillion. They’re now much smaller than the figure the government claims the national debt to be. The whole claim that we’re supposedly burdened by debt is now complete nonsense. When will they admit it?
