If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

🚨 NHS England is rolling out Palantir software for our health records - handing huge power to a US firm with a track record in surveillance, military technology and human rights abuses.

The BBC’s most platformed politician turns on them.

What a fucking surprise.

Whatβ€˜s Farageβ€˜s problem with children speaking more than one language?
How many languages does he speak?
A period of silence from Mr Toad would be welcome.

Bore da.
Yesterday There was a British Legion stall in the High St. I put a fiver in their tin but explained that I wouldn’t take a poppy.
The horror is staring all over again, Have we learnt nothing?
The huge soldier reached out and shook my hand.

Oxfam GB | Chancellor Rachel Reeves: Tax wealth now It’s time to tax the super-rich. Demand a Wealth Tax today.

We need as many people as possible to agree with putting in place more ways to increase funding rather than making cuts and essentially punishing those who are already suffering. Tax the Rich – Wealth Tax Now www.oxfam.org.uk/get-involved...

He’s dangerously confused. Almost everything he’s done so far has been disastrous. I hope any MPs with backbone will ignore this order.

Brexit was bad for farmers. In fact it was, and is, bad for the whole country with the exception of certain very rich conniving bstrds.

The only poll that matters is the general election. Until then, stop wasting valuable time concentrating on that, and let the government do its work.

It’s of no concern to me at all. We need young people, and the birth rate is plummeting.

Oh yes it very much is our business.

Reform is a magnet for racists without a home, a bin for failed Tory MPs without a future, a crèche for brainwashed children with no clue about anything, and a stage for morons who want to dress up in glittery flags, shouting.

It is anything but a serious government in waiting.

Symptomatic of how media deliberately feed anger: "asylum seekers in hotels up 8%" as the only headline being pushed.

Number much lower than Tory high, spending on hotels significantly down, applications processed faster, backlog down, overall immigration dramatically lower. But that won't do. ~AA

Private equity sale of €6bn fee-paying schools group Cognita on brink of collapse Blackstone and CVC had expressed interest in company even as private schools have been hit by UK tax on fees

PE has devoured care homes, vets, GP surgeries, high streets.

It buys/sells schools too, albeit private ones.

Education commodified. Parents complain about paying VAT on fees; silent on PE profiteering.

How long before PE is let into state schools?
