Dear voters, or Scumbags if I may be informal, if you don't want a society filled with what you perceive as "jobsworths", then maybe don't create a society where being fired and facing unemployment is a fast track to permanent soul crushing poverty. Because if being unemployed is intolerable, people are not gonna put their jobs at risk to bend the rules for you.

You cannot have it both ways.

Ready for a #geopolitics #thread that will scare the living shit out of you?

Here goes.

Ink in the blogosphere is beginning to spread about the proposed #Biden #HumanitarianAid bridgehead on the Mediterranean coast of #Gaza.

Some are saying it’s a distraction to appease #voters while Biden continues to provide arms and cover. Some, that the intention is to actually benefit the #zionists by providing a place to evacuate #palestinians. Some go so far as to claim it’s intended as the terminus of the #Israeli #RiverToTheSea dream.

My take? These theories fail to understand the #evil genius leaders in the U.S. are capable.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨

Major donor Frank Hester says former MP Diane Abbott makes him "Hate Black Women" & he wants her "Shot"! 👀

The grotesque Tories say he's "apologised", so they won't return his £10m party donation, & we should all move on! 😳

Ms Abbott: "It's frightening. I'm a single woman & after Jo Cox, this makes me feel even more vulnerable."

Hester made his vast fortune from Tory government NHS contracts. 🤔

Agreed 100%!

It's stuck in my craw to hear MP after Tory MP coming out in support if the racist maggot, claiming what he said wasn't misogynistic, racist or a clear & present threat to Diane.

But why should anyone be surprised? race baiting, to compete with is all the have left.

I despise the woman, but Thatcher must be spinning in her grave at the current state of her party. 🤷🏾‍♂️

It's just been revealed that MP for South Zarah Sultana, is the most abused & threatened MP in the commons, receiving 68% more abuse & threats compared to the next MP.

However, she's an & a vocal critic of the 's government's response to the shoot in , hence the huge increase in threats & abuse she's received since.

After 12 hours of silence, said it was racist, but he's apologised so we should all move on. 😳

Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, were detained late on Monday night on allegations of sexual aggression. The warrant was issued by Westminster magistrates court.

Actually the real reason is that Reform needs them back in the UK to campaign for them although Sunak hopes to persuade them to come over all for the next election. Not a lotta people knoe that.

Frank Hester donated £10 million to the Tories just this year…

Is it a coincidence that this racist and misogynist man’s company, the Phoenix Partnership (TPP), for which he is the sole shareholder has been paid more than £400m by the NHS and other government bodies since 2016.

And the purpose of most of those contracts…primarily to look after 60m UK medical records.

Sickening.

Frank Hester went on to say:

“If we can get [the executive] being unprofessional we can get her sacked. It’s not as good as her dying. It would be much better if she died. She’s consuming resource. She’s eating food that other people could eat. You know?”

This is who funds the Party…their biggest donor. The and is just laid bare.

“Even a Labour government committed to reviving the NHS will not seek to disturb its growing interdependence with the private sector. One patient’s desperation boosts one private provider’s dividend, yes, but it also means that person gets care which the enfeebled, overwhelmed NHS can no longer provide when it is needed. Tragically, that will not change anytime soon.”

It’s unclear who the “c#nt” in question was.”

This looks like an exercise in trying to confuse voters into thinking he's taking all the steps mentioned, while reassuring 'markets' (in the way of the Truss budge) that he's not going to take them really.

It suggests (as ever) that a budget's optics are very different to its actual effects!

There was an inevitability about the twitching hydra, thrashing about in its final throes, hissing about banning protest.
The entire ideology of the Hard Right revolves around stripping rights. From your Freedom of Movement, to your freedom of association, your right to express dissent, your right to walk the public highway, to criticise your rulers, to address a jury, to withdraw your labour, to be accepted at face value with a ballot card in a polling booth. Despicable Scum.
