My small British company was bought by Americans. I have just been formally reprimanded for sarcasm and sardonic commentary. I told the disciplinary panel I was grateful for the opportunity to reflect on my attitude going forward and would be certain to bear it in mind in future.

This makes me so cross. And in case we are tempted to think that this is all due to thick Americans, remember that the MMR bullshit started with "doctor" Andrew Wakefield in Bath.

In 2004 a human rights barrister & part of the appeal defence for the "Fairford Five", made a defence similar to that of the Palestine Action activists who broke into RAF Brize Norton last year.
His name? Keir Starmer - who now even labels people who support these conscientious acts as terrorists.

If you say “I support Palestine Action”, they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on TV.
Both the government and the Court of Appeal now treat protesters as terrorists and terrorists as protesters. It's hard to accept that a "Labour" government is imposing rightwing authoritarianism on the UK, but please read this column to see what's happening.+🧵

I think both Sadiq Khan and Yvette Cooper should get substantially more letters... Just saying.
An event is planned to be hosted in London proudly promoting the sale of land on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.
This is obscene. I've called on @london.gov.uk and @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social to stop the event and for this govt to take real action on illegal settlements.

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

Disingenuous statements from Wes Streeting that he will introduce a wealth tax when all he means is slightly upping capital gains which is a tax on the growth of wealth not wealth itself. Only a real wealth tax that steadily erodes wealth would reduce inequality.

And this is why the @greenparty.org.uk are correct not to stand aside for Burnham (who BTW is married to an immigrant)
EXCL: Andy Burnham is backing Shabana Mahmood’s controversial changes to immigration system, allies have said, in blow to those in Labour who would soften them.
GM mayor is understood to be keen to reframe changes - but is supportive of home sec’s attempts to limit legal & illegal migration.

OPD Group are a private healthcare company, in case you were wondering. I'm sure that they don't want anything in return for the huge wodges of cash they've been throwing at the bloke who is effectively in charge of the NHS. Why would they?
Our breakdown of Wes Streeting’s donors has been doing the rounds online for the last year.
Now we’ve updated it – with another £55,000 from OPD Group.
