Nigel Farage - the leader of Reform UK - is STILL under investigation for failing to declare a £5 million 'gift'. Please RT this until this until he no longer is. Thank you

Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.

Many MPs are loudly demanding cuts to the benefits budget to fund defence. Have any of these advocates suggested cutting MPs’ own generous expenses, subsidies, pensions, perks & benefits first? Or is austerity only for everyone else?

"Judge Johnson kept the jury in the dark of his plans to sentence the four as terrorists. This is the first time in British legal history that anyone has been sentenced as a terrorist for damaging property." Please RT until this is both the 1st & last time. Thank you.

I have signed this letter calling upon the government to halt this real estate event that is promoting the sale of properties in the illegally occupied West Bank. We cannot allow this appalling theft of Palestinian land to take place in our own capital city.
Almost 100 MPs and Peers are urging Ministers to prevent the 'Great Israeli Real Estate Event' taking place in London this weekend. The govt has an opportunity to uphold obligations under international law and take action against Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine.

Burning Jewish ambulances deserves a Cobra meeting, but burning the homes of black & brown people doesn't, apparently. Make it make sense.
I'm just trying to understand when does the organised violence against & terrorising of working class black & brown people get a Cobra meeting ? Or are we all supposed to be Far Right now & indulge their expression of ' legitimate concerns ' ?

We do not need to spend more money on bombs and bullets. We need to spend more on housing, schools and our NHS instead. A roof over your head. Enough food to feed your children. A public health service you can rely on in your time of need. That is what real security means.

An event is planned to be hosted in London proudly promoting the sale of land on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. This is obscene. I've called on @MayorofLondon and @YvetteCooperMP to stop the event and for this govt to take real action on illegal settlements.

Palantir's co-founder claimed "the NHS makes people sick". Yet this US tech giant now runs the NHS data platform. There are serious concerns about its access to patient data and human rights record. The Government should use the break clause to kick Palantir out of our NHS.

God help us, will we ever get clean rivers and seas?
"Picturesque river polluted with sewage just 13 days after being given official bathing status." Yep the River Avon at Salisbury was designated as a bathing spot on 15th May and just 13 days later on the 28th the EA have to issue a pollution warning due to E. coli levels. What a shambles. independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…

This morning I asked myself, not for the first time, who is Nigel and I made some notes. And it does add up. Here is a man who sells himself as the ordinary bloke with a pint, the man of the people, the great outsider standing up against the establishment. And yet somehow this ordinary bloke always seems to arrive with a camera crew, a donor network, a friendly broadcaster, and now a parliamentary investigation into a £5 million gift from a crypto billionaire. Very normal. Very grassroots. Very “just one of the lads”. The peoples revolt, apparently, now comes with lighting, branding, fundraising dinners, professional outrage, and a small question about whether millions should have been declared properly. Everything is a betrayal when Labour does it. Everything is “nothing to see here” when Nigel does it. Housing? Blame Labour. The NHS? Blame Labour. The economy? Blame Labour. Boats? Blame Labour. A £5 million gift? Suddenly everybody must calm down and respect the process. And then came Tuesday. A young man died. A family was grieving. A country was trying to understand something horrific. And Farage stepped forward. Not with calm. Not with care. Not with responsibilty. But with his announcement of “pure cold rage”. That phrase matters. Because anger is human. Anger can be moral. Anger can demand answers, justice, accountability and truth. I understand anger. A lot of people are angry. They have every right to ask serious questions. But rage is different. Rage does not ask careful questions. Rage does not wait for investigations. Rage does not protect grieving families from becoming political props. Rage looks for a target. And that is where Farage always seems most comfertable. Not solving the pain. Not calming the country. Not asking how institutions failed and how they can be fixed. But standing beside the pain with a microphone, turning the temprature up, and calling it leadership. Warm enough to repost. Warm enough to donate. Warm enough to vote. But never calm enough to ask: “Hang on, who benefits from keeping us this angry?” That is the trick. He does not need Britain to feel hopeful. He does not even need Britain to feel informed. He needs Britain permanently one headline away from rage. Because rage is usefull. It fills rallies. It drives clicks. It turns grief into theatre. It makes slogans feel like solutions. And while everyone is shouting, nobody asks the boring questions. Where is the plan? Where is the funding? Where are the costings? Where is the responsibilty? Maybe that is who Nigel Farage is. Not the man of the people. But the man who knows exactly how to turn peoples pain into his own political stage. The Reform & Tory Sitcom continues. Same chaos. Different rosette. Anger can demand answers. Rage just sells tickets. If this speaks to you, please add your comments, repost it, and maybe follow me — not for me, but because politics needs fewer slogans and more people asking proper questions. #Farage #ReformUK

The idea that in recent days whole towns and villages were blatantly, deliberately cut off from the public water supply because water companies haven't invested in enough equipment to treat and supply water is utter madness.
We can’t keep piling endless demand onto finite water supplies. Families can't be left without essential water while AI data centres burn through it. Madness. We need long‑term solutions that put living standards first - that means public ownership of water.

This was HEARTBREAKING Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, who volunteered in Gaza, exposed Israel: "I held a lifeless child in my arms. There was no equipment to save him. This is not a war; it is a massacre of the innocent."

So Farage ran away from parliament after he was shamed by the PM. Where did he run away to? To Oswald's in Mayfair, a private members club. When will people wake up. He doesn’t represent you. He doesn’t understand you. He’s not like you. He’s using you. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/h…

Albanians just showed the world how it's done. The government was selling off prime coastal land and protected islands to Jared Kushner and linked investors for a massive luxury resort turning public beaches and nature reserves into private playgrounds for the ultra-rich. The people said: HELL NO. Thousands poured into the streets under “Albania Is Not For Sale.” Protests turned fiery. They stormed government buildings and burnt down the Prime Minister’s house. This isn’t just about a deal. It’s about sovereignty. It’s about refusing to let your country be auctioned off to foreign billionaires while locals lose access to their own coastline. When elites sell the nation’s future for kickbacks and luxury resorts, the people have every right to push back hard. Respect to the Albanians for refusing to be colonized by cash. Other countries should be taking notes.

The most concerning omission from the latest disclosures is information about the Government’s meetings with Palantir, which were organised by Peter Mandelson. Palantir’s ever-increasing involvement in our NHS and access to our health data is deeply worrying. It’s an issue I’ve raised many times. A company which supports Israel’s military operations in Gaza, Trump’s ICE raids, and advocates NHS privatisation should be nowhere near our health service. The Government must commit to exercising the break clause in its contract with Palantir in 2027 as a matter of urgency. #NoPalantirInTheNHS #SayNoToPalantir

Barely a month ago this man was imprisoned for the violent rape of a Sikh woman believing that she was a Muslim. No Douglas Murray articles in the Spectator, no Baroness Fox speech in the Lords. No riots. Two tier? Too right bbc.com/news/articles/cpqxrz…
