A government whose chancellor dodged stamp duty on seven flats and said it was an honest mistake has effectively ordered the police to investigate a woman selling a council house

Totally heartbreaking. Remember, over ten billion was wasted, much of it with Tory donors, on PPE and we've yet to see even one prosecution. But if you're a cab driver and unlucky... theguardian.com/society/2024/a…

Perhaps we should start judging #Tory corruption & incompetence on a #RaynerScale ?

If “1 Rayner” = £1,500 …

…then 2 Rayners = 2 x the required effort by the police to investigate 🤷🏻‍♂️ Simples!

The #Donellan libel comes in at “20 Rayners”

Whilst #Boris ‘s flat refurb comes in…

After the referendum, the BBC chief Lord Hall ordered the BBC to treat Brexit as a done deal, a decision which all but wholly excluded Remainer opinion from the BBC for around 2 years, thus grossly biasing the debate. It was a grotesque abuse of democracy. radiotimes.com/tv/current-aff…

So, govt is paying £500+million to send maybe nobody to Rwanda, in planes they can’t charter, to live in houses that have been sold off, which will deter no one from trying to come to the UK. And Sunak is threatening to leave the ECHR if they can’t do this.
Totally fucking nuts.

Overnight, Russia fired more than forty missiles and about forty drones at Ukraine.

I thank everyone engaged in recovery efforts after the attack, as well as to every warrior of our air defense system who was on guard last night.

Some missiles and 'Shahed' drones were…

Its not pensions, the Post Office or the NHS that are 'unsustainable.'

Its this looting Tory government that is unsustainable.

Can somebody please tell BBC America that I don’t give shit about OJ Simpson! 20+ minutes of continuous coverage so far this morning! Celebrity culture gone mad 😵‍💫

I bloody love ⁦Private Eye Magazine⁩ 😍😂😍😂

Why do organisations like Byline Times have to be the only ones who combat the right wing news cartel, while well funded broadcasters like Sky and BBC just go along with the obvious media manipulation. Such a dereliction of duty by the privileged

Tesco profits up 159% to £2.3bn. In other words, Britain's biggest supermarket chain used the cost of living crisis as a pretext for blatant profiteering.

Idiots who voted for Brexit, is it sinking in yet?

The EU is not going to give you special status
German car makers are not going to save you
No other EU country is leaving
Ending free movement works in both directions

You were conned, manipulated and played like a cheap banjo.

We're told pensions are 'unsustainable', the Post Office is 'unsustainable' and now that the NHS is 'unsustainable'. They were all entirely sustainable before the private sector starting looting the public sector.

10 straight months of record-breaking global heat. NEWSFLASH: Climate change is real.

We need nothing less than radical action on climate, and we need it now.

Telephones were invented less than 200 years ago.

Tesco pre-tax profits hit £2.3bn, up from £882m - 159% pay rise.

Their profiteering is our cost-of-living crisis

Govt pushes real wage cuts for workers but no restraints on profiteering, exec pay, dividends.

Can't revive the economy by profiteering.

ECHR ruling on Swiss women's case that their human rights were violated by climate inaction is huge. Pay attention UK Government...your failure to act is putting lives here in the UK at risk too - and it is morally and legally indefensible.
