100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.

Mainstream media: nothing

Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes.

Mainstream media: nothing.

This is what extreme media bias looks like.

How democratic is the UK? The UK has a crisis of democracy

Health and social care handed to corporations.

Profits of 32%-43% from cataract surgery.

Profit margins of up to 21% for child fostering services.

19% – 25% profit margin for residential care for children.

Money buys less. Corporate profits guaranteed. Who asked the people?

Nigel Farage breaks with his Welsh leader over insurance system for the NHS Reform UK’s Welsh leader Dan Thomas told POLITICO he would rule out moving to an insurance-based system after Nigel Fara

🚨 The NHS must always remain free.

"Farage has not ruled out other reforms, such as moving funding of the NHS from general taxation to an insurance system."

Of course he wants insurance based healthcare, his Brexit benefactor was Aaron Banks, owner of several insurance companies, it's clearly payback time for years of financial support!

Trump appears actually not to know that the US has a positive trade balance with Spain, which means that cutting off trade hits US manufacturers and farmers, not Spanish producers. bsky.app/profile/theb...

Not great when the only people in the free world who believe and trust Vladimir Putin’s word on critical things despite all evidence to the contrary are currently running the government of the United States.

But we still have a system where politicians, particularly the Prime Minister, can appoint friends and donors to the legislature with no elections or any democratic mandate. Plus clerics!

It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did.
But if your mate put you there?
That's fine.
Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.

WIN: High Court throws out Β£8m lawsuit over tax avoidance investigation | Good Law Project We have successfully defended award-winning journalist Dan Neidle from an β€˜oppressive’ claim which tried to silence him – but the law still needs reform

We've won the UK's first ever SLAPP suit - acting for @danneidle.bsky.social - and made some really important law protecting the right to call out barristers whose misconduct facilitates aggressive tax avoidance.

Badenoch denies calling for UK to join US-Israeli war on Iran Conservative leader accused of taking confusing position after she said Starmer should β€˜do more than catch arrows’

Keir Starmer attacks Tory leader Kemi Badenoch for β€œscreeching u-turn” on US intervention in Iran.

β€œIf she were Prime Minister… we would be in the war, and she would be coming back to Parliament a week later to say, oh, sorry, I got that one wrong.”

A tax barrister sued me personally for Β£8m for libel after we linked him to a tax avoidance scheme.

Today the High Court struck out the claim, granted summary judgment, and ruled it was a SLAPP. The judgment is highly critical.

Badenoch said if she was prime minister HMS Dragon would have left a week ago. Presumably with its doors hanging off and with no weapons onboard.

Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez is everything Keir Starmer and Labour are not:

"A wave of pride in being Spanish, not only within our country but also from many societies across the globe"

"Because we are synonymous with principles, values, and also results"

Nigel Farage's Humiliating Iran U-Turn Should Be a Lesson for Keir Starmer By sticking to the correct and popular position on Donald Trump's Iran war, the Prime Minister has now forced his political opponents into an embarrassing reversal, argues Adam Bienkov

By sticking to the correct and popular position on Iran, even under relentless attacks from the right-wing press, Keir Starmer has forced his political opponents into an embarrassing reversal.

It is a lesson his Government should learn from bylinetimes.com/2026/03/10/n...

Adult social care privatised since the 1980s. Local councils spend 70% of budget on it.

83% of social care controlled by private equity, 20%-40% profit margin.

Will Govt end profiteering, ensure only not-for-profit entities, including local councils, provide care.

Watch the Minister's reply.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 β€” mostly through shady crypto deals.

That amounts to $456,621 per hour.

But how are you doing?

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.

But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?

They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.

3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.

2/ Maybe the lead is that the war goals DO NOT involve destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program. This is, uh...surprising...since Trump says over and over this is a key goal.

But then of course we already know air strikes can't wipe out their nuclear material.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
