@fascinatorfun @KateCushing2 80,000 deaths since September. On 1st September 2020 there were just over 1000 CASES per day. In January the UK averaged over 1000 DEATHS per day. @RishiSunak and @BorisJohnson belong in jail for gross negligence manslaughter. bmj.com/content/372/bm…

@CraigSpillard The landlord. Better countries own the stock of housing they need and provide it at cost back to taxpayers in need. Far cheaper than adding a gouging middleman into the process, and nations can burrow far cheaper than any landlord.

Landlord charges £12,000 rent a year and is charged £6,000 per year on the mortgage interest. Of that £6,000 profit the government gets £4,536 the landlord gets £1,464 Of that £1,464 landlord has to cover repair costs, etc Is it the landlord or the government inflating rents?

@NicholasTyrone And you can’t be neoliberal and a centrist. That’s like saying you’re a communist centrist.

@NicholasTyrone If the economy grows by 5%, but 110% of that growth lands in the hands of the people who own all the assets, who use that growth to buy more assets, is your median Brit better or worse off?

Or we could grow the economy, leading to widespread prosperity, that’s an available option.

Why do we still have oppressive defamation laws? Because of highly effective lobbying by a handful of libel lawyers, and a Government that broke its promise to act. Important investigation from Peter Geoghegan and Jenna Corderoy: newstatesman.com/investigation/…

@horton_official @Emma_W_OK Of course the sh!t outed the Guardian employee, if he could he’d dox him too.

A statement from the Guardian on Nigel Farage’s social media posts theguardian.com/gnm-press-offi…

Almost 10,000 likes for straight-up lies by Annunziata Rees-Mogg, quote: "Asylum seekers make up 0.08% of Dorset's population and 44% of alleged sex offences. So unbelievable I had to check. It's true." It's not true, it's utter garbage. I'll go through facts and figures. /1

Farage did say Brexit would make us richer… We should have known that by us, he meant him £5,000,000 richer.

Hang on a second… First Farage says the £5m was nothing to do with politics and was for his security Now he’s saying it was a reward for Brexit?! Keep digging Farage.

@Peston Any mention of the Faridge bribery scandal, or does accountability only apply to the left?

Starmer is “nearing the end” open.substack.com/pub/peston/p/s…

Just trawled through 3 days of Peston tweets. All about Labour! Not one mention that I can see of Farage's outrageous 5 million quid grift. I don't think you could call this balanced journalism!

Thomas Massie: “The force of the whole swamp has come down on me.” “It’s three billionaires.” “They’re hedge fund managers and gambling magnates.” “They’re upset that I’ve never voted for foreign aid.” “Particularly foreign aid to Israel.” “And they’re upset that I vote against the wars.” “These billionaires are funding a super PAC called MAGA Kentucky.” “They are not MAGA, and they have never been to Kentucky.” “There will be $6 million spent this week on TV and radio and mail.” “Fox News, they’ve got a monopoly on the screens in a lot of Republican houses, particularly people between the ages of 65 and 75.” “For the last 18 months, they’ve not invited me on a single show.” “They have blacklisted me.” “I can’t get on TVs in the living rooms of the people that vote in this election unless I can buy TV ads.” @RepThomasMassie @MassieforKY

If these growing financial scandals involving Farage do not become resignation issues then this country is completely throwing in the towel on standards in public life.

Ben has 'dug in' Checkmate Farage - either sue and therefore disclose or do nothing and appear to be hiding something. Standards Commissioner looks on with interest.....

Ben Habib’s claim that Nigel Farage was paid by Christopher Harborne to stand down & let Boris become PM in 2019 is starting to have a leg to stand on after the recent revelations that he bought a £1.4M property in cash shortly after receiving £5M...

Nigel Farage, April 29: “This money was given to me so that I would be safe and secure for the rest of my life”. Nigel Farage, May 14: “Frankly, it was given to me as a reward for campaigning against Brexit for 27 years.” Which is it?

Boomers literally had unions, affordable college, and pensions... they then took that away from the next generation while gaslighting them about avocado toast and lattes.

Exactly right. We need democratic control over global capital. We had it in the Bretton Woods era, remember.

Loving the fact that we are all reading this disturbing news on social media on our smart phones….

The great thing about Katie Hopkins’ tweet apologising to Zarah (that’s ZARAH) Sultana is that when she inevitably deletes it once the legally required 24-hour period has elapsed, thousands of us will just reshare the screenshot endlessly …
