So, Ben Habib was telling the truth when he claimed that Christopher Harborne gave £1 million each to Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage to help Boris win the 2019 election and convince Farage to stand down?

"The last set of Boris Johnson’s financial disclosures were to 30th May 2023, which recorded the eye-watering amount of over £ 6,000,000 received from October 2022 to April 2023." Great work @JaneSmith13579

Thanks! Starmer's Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill is a dud. The manifesto and first King's Speech promised the remaining Law Commission reforms on enfranchisement and Right to Manage. Yet they've been dropped from the Bill to please Big Freehold and rent-seeking lawyers.

Every question from now on ought to be how does this benefit the vast majority? Not the vested interests, the many. So on leasehold stuff for example. What change does the people that are held over a barrel need to see? Never mind the vested interest of which there are plenty.

Tens of thousands of pounds. That’s all it takes for fossil fuel corporations - making BILLIONS in quarterly profits - to own our politics. Our children’s futures - their hopes & dreams - are being sold for loose change & then burnt before our eyes.

Labour MPs took tens of thousands of pounds in donations from oil and gas lobbyists during Starmer's first year in power. novaramedia.com/2026/06/24/gre…

So #BBCQT ran a special episode questioning why there isn’t a general election after Starmer resigned. Meanwhile, there wasn’t one when May resigned, Johnson resigned, or when Truss resigned either. But of course, there’s no bias at all - especially when the programme again invited Zia Yusuf, an unelected bureaucrat in Farage's Reform UK Party Limited

The biggest benefit recipients in the UK are Amazon, Apple, Google, BP, Tesco, The Royal Family. They receive 3x as much as ALL Disability Benefits. I don't know why we tolerate these billionaire scroungers.

Things that matter - and are hard to change. 53% of people in the U.K. take out more in cash that they put in. 37% in 1977.

Here’s the basic problem with Farage Whoever the regulator is, up to now they, have never dealt with him effectively .The EU and the Commission are a case in point It’s highly likely that without Farage’s access to EU funds , and his misuse of them , UKIP and then the Brexit party would have had the funds they needed And now the Electoral Commission is apparently unable or unwilling to publish the evidential basis for Harborne - who has donated £22m to Reform and given £5m to Farage - being deemed a permissible donor It stinks

They will NOT make a billionaire contribute to the basic needs of the community BUT they will make the whole community bear the electrical, water, and often building costs of a data center owned by a billionaire.

The genocide in Gaza is a moral litmus test for Burnham.

The Spectator just told its readers the evidence that Israel deliberately targeted children in Gaza "simply isn't there," and that the UN's 94-page report is "a doctor's guess." Here is what is actually in the report, Jonathan Sacerdoti says is empty: • Two independent forensic pathologists. CT scans. Forensic analysis in 15 of 17 cases. • An audio ballistic analysis that identified the exact weapon and the firing distance. • A 10-day-old baby was shot in the head while breastfeeding in his mother's tent in Nuseirat. Named. Dated. The bullet was analysed. He calls this "unverified" with "nothing connecting the dots." The report cross-references every source and authenticates it with geolocation, metadata and forensic imaging. This is not an opinion you're free to disagree with. These are false statements of fact about a public document. Under IPSO's Editors' Code, Clause 1 (Accuracy) applies to comment pieces too. We've drafted the complaint.

@hansbrattberg Ja, du. Bra fråga. Finns inte forskning/enkäter osv. som tar upp frågan, delar in i politisk affiliation, åldersgrupp, kön m. m.? Personligen bor i centrala London, två barn, har diesel, använder 95% till långresa till norra Wales, Sverige eller övriga Europa. Väldigt medveten…

Does anyone know why life saving air ambulances have to rely on funding from charities But helicopters for the Royal Family are paid for by the tax payer?

I see all of Hackney's anti-Low Traffic Neighbourhood candidates were once again soundly beaten at the ballot box in yesterday's by-elections. The iron law of local politics is to serve the voters who live in your neighbourhoods, not the drivers who want to rat run through them.

In 2015, Royal Mail was privatised. In 2017, it missed delivery targets and has never met them since. Yet again we see 'the superior efficiency of the private sector' in action.

The Environment Agency has dropped its threat to prosecute litter pickers over alleged environmental offences while clearing rubbish from a London River. It comes after Channel 4 News recently exposed legal threats made to Paul Powlesland and other volunteers for undertaking clearance work without a permit. The East Londoner claims he took action after authorities failed to clear rubbish from the River Roding. While the Environment Agency said it won't pursue a prosecution, it has continued to warn against future rubbish clearing activities, something Mr Powlesland has said he will ignore unless he's given a meeting with the organisation's chief executive.

What is it about Labour and bringing in corporate lobbyists?

In 1975 the average of cost of children in care was £3,545 (£38,600 in today's money). Then Margaret Thatcher privatised it. Now 50,000 children are in Private Care at a cost of £384,017 each. This blatant robbery provides terrible care and costs £20bn a year.
