Just a month ago the UK agreed to a deal in which the NHS has to pay Β£3bn a year more for US drugs.

The only thing we got was an agreement the UK would face no tariffs.

Today that deal has been broken by the USA.

The deal must be torn up and no money stolen from the NHS.

When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided.

When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid.

The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe.

It's time for a rethink.

HMRC taking more than a year to pay out tax rebates Taxpayers talk of having to borrow cash and wait for months amid β€˜significant backlogs’ in processing of claims

HMRC taking more than a year to pay tax rebates.

It is one-way traffic. People fined for late filing of tax returns and payments. Hard to get through on phone. Letters not answered. Poor public accountability.

Sweetheart deals with corporations/rich that parliament can't scrutinize.

Will the media finally do their job & ask No.10 who blocked the arrest warrant for Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar during his UK visit?

It’s astonishing the PM insists he had no role in blocking a warrant for an unindicted war criminal.

So who’s lying? Because someone is.

Liz Truss is still threatening legal actions against people who repeat the fact that she crashed the economy.

Say it with me, Liz Truss crashed the economy.

@theguardian.com please explain why you’ve published such a misleading headline.

Overall, research shows dairy's health risks outweigh its benefits. Plants are a healthier calcium source β€” not to mention dairy's devastating impact on animals, climate, and the environment.

Major water company uses accounting trick to inflate balance sheet by Β£1.68bn A substantial Severn Trent Water investment is based on IOU notes - BBC Panorama finds.

Severn Trent Water used accounting tricks to boost investment by Β£1.68bn.

OFWAT uses investment to decide customer charges.

Such tricks enabled company to pay higher dividends.

Financial engineering rife at all water companies. OFWAT does nothing to curb it.

Cost of buying average home in England now unaffordable, warns ONS Only richest 10% can afford to buy as figures show average household needs 8.6 times disposable income to meet asking price

Cost of buying average home in England unaffordable.

Only richest 10% can afford to buy, average household needs 8.6 times disposable income to meet asking price.

Govts cut real wages, don't check profiteering.

People priced out of renting/buying.

What future?

We’ve updated our Clacton billboard to tell voters their MP just took Β£40k from a US firm that advises clients how to offshore their money and pay less tax. For the full story see video below πŸ‘‡

Wish there was an alien invasion and they just took all the pork lad, flag shagging, conspiracy believing twats who call themselves British but are disregarding our real culture whilst trying to import US Republican idiocy, because they’re radicalised by privately educated con artist city boys.

Water firms push for higher shareholder returns as Ofwat considers bills increase Companies say higher returns are needed to ensure record infrastructure investment across industry is delivered

England water firms push for higher shareholder returns.

NO. They picked customer pockets for years, paid high dividends, neglected investment.

They charged for sewage disposal, dumped it in rivers. Customers due a refund.

Let them go bust. Nationalise.

Over Β£715m on Rwanda.

Β£8.7bn on defective PPE.

Β£674m of covid deals that need investigating.

There are many many reasons never to let the Tories back into power but this is one of the biggest.

Completely corrupt and certainly dangerous incompetence.

Mick Lynch went on Question Time once then they banned him because he embarrassed them.

The establishment sack of πŸ’© Nigel Farage has been on 38 times because he tells the lies the billionaires want you to hear.

Rishi Sunak Accused of Having 'Something to Hide' After Burying Post-Downing Street Interests Behind Financial 'Firewall' The former PM and his wife, whose combined wealth is estimated at Β£651 million, have set up an opaque new arrangement, preventing any scrutiny of their ongoing finances

β€œThe Cabinet Office has prevented disclosure of details relating to Sunak’s investments, so Good Law Project decided to raise the matter with the ICO, the watchdog responsible for monitoring compliance with transparency rules.”

So it turns out they spent Β£715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda.

For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK
