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

Average real wage of UK workers barely moved since 2008.

Some bosses collect 1,110 times the average worker pay.

50 families have more wealth than bottom 50% of the population combined.

Super-rich buy political parties and lawmakers to advance their interests.

Did you vote for the above?

Welsh dragon babies hatch on St David's Day,1st March, so at this time of year you may come across dragon hatchlings in the Welsh countryside. If you do, please don't try to take them home: they don't make good pets as they quickly become too hot to handle - & their parents are never far away!

This infographic was produced in order of MP’s money earned from other jobs.

Ooh look who’s front and centre, it’s “man of the people” Nigel Mirage.

Not often seen in his constituency but topping the charts of additional earnings.

Farage and Badenoch are absolute clowns: startled by the entirely foreseeable series of events they failed to foresee. A demonstration of their total lack of judgement.

Reform UK really are so lucky.

For a party of eight MPs they have the UK’s biggest news broadcaster on retainer.

Here we see their political editor doing the job of a local newspaper reporter.

For Farage.

EIGHT MPs.

Keep not watching GB News guys... it's lost £131.5m to date but I'm sure it can do a lot worse than that.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

"Four years ago, they got just 18 councillors across London. This time they are projected to get 584, and be the largest party!
If anything close to this happens ...Greens are a massive national party with a good shot at winning the next general election for Westminster"

So much for Labour’s promises to respect the Scottish Parliament.

Only the SNP will always stand up for Scotland and protect our Parliament.

A Trump Order Protected a Weedkiller. And Also a Weapon of War.

Trump's abrupt executive order last month boosting glyphosate production also had other effects:

1.) limited legal immunity to the makers of the weedkiller Roundup, a possible carcinogen.
2.) helping production of white phosphorus used in munitions that can violently burn people.

Everyone knows who’s committing war crimes, except the headlines. We know who is bombing Iran, starving Palestinians and invading Lebanon—the US and Israeli militaries—but if you’re relying on mainstream media, you wouldn’t be able to tell.

There is going to be an entire generation of university graduates who did not do any of their own work and have thus not learned anything. Their degrees will be useless because within 30 seconds of them trying to do anything with it people will know they can't think

To those still supporting Israel (or is still besties with those who still support Israel), I have a question.

What will make you stand up and say: "This is wrong. I'm out."?

Because you've so far proved that mass genocide, incarceration, rape/sexual violence, and apartheid are fine and dandy.

Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.

The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.

It’s time for accountability.
