Trump has just appointed this woman Director of National Intelligence. A pro-Russian, pro-Putin mouthpiece. To remind you the UK shares intelligence with the US. Worse than worst case scenario.

Nice to see @spectator with its five figure circulation worrying that @RestIsPolitics is in trouble cos of @RoryStewartUK Kamala prediction and @jk_rowling having a pop at me. Tell that to the five million plus who downloaded (and listened to the end!!) last week. What @michaelgove wouldn’t give for that kind of reach!!

Holy shit this is INCREDIBLE work from @ByDonkeys. And bonus points for projecting the entire thing on @Tesla headquarters, effectively turning @elonmusk’s building’s most visible exterior side into a cinema screen to broadcast the tale of his corruption and political malfeasance

NHS in ‘last-chance saloon’, says former health sec. Weakened by political experiments. Billions sucked out by PFI payments. £13bn private investment, repayment £80bn. Parts privatised. Money buys less. 30%-40% vanishes in profits. End privatisation. theguardian.com/society/2024…

Remember when everyone swore they were just looking for tunnels and hostages? Remember when they said we were hysterical I mean bigots for claiming they would absolutely ethnically cleanse and annex Gaza? Remember when every red line was crossed with total impunity?

George Monbiot(Guardian): "Braverman's statement is self evident nonsense... Trump has a special relationship with Putin... Braverman is one of those fake patriots... the moment some foreign demagogue arises, they prostrate themselves in the dust..." #PoliticsLive

The ten richest people in the US added $64billion to their wealth on the back of Trump win and Mogg continues to pretend people like him are on the side of the people against the elite. Same trick with Brexit after which of course he shipped his cash to 🇮🇪

Sainsbury's made £1.7bn profit, more than triple the average they made 3 years ago. But they are moaning about a £140m increase in their NI payments. Personally I think it should be much higher.
