A note in the article includes ‘Labour has also been attracting more large-scale private donations than at any time in the last 15 years. The former Autoglass boss Gary Lubner has given almost £5m since 2022.’
These donations by wealthy individuals and corporations must be stopped. Corruption writ large.

More socialisation of liabilities by Houchen and his mates on Teesside. And people still voted for this corrupt grifter.
"A public body chaired by Conservative mayor Lord Ben Houchen is pursuing a deal to make taxpayers liable for contamination at the largely privately controlled Teesworks former steel site, after apparently telling an independent government review the idea had been abandoned"
Election campaigning is in full swing. And #Hunt is busy trying to get credit for ‘solutions’ to the #Blood Scandal. Of course as Health minster he contributed to the destruction of the #NHS (his family are heavily involved in private healthcare) and will in due course tell us how he saved it. Pass the sick bag Alice 🤢
'In his first newspaper interview since leaving the cabinet, the former chancellor says the ex-PM was the ‘most consequential leader since Thatcher’ — and reveals his own biggest mistake in the tax scandal that led to his sacking’
They just don't get it do they? Worth a read to get confirmation of the bat shit stupidity, arrogance and greed that drive them.
@Wen This is a quite remarkable read. Even by the standards of the average head-up-own-arse, self-centred, greedy #Tory this is exceptional.
Here are a couple of phone numbers and an email address of his new employer, just in case you'd like to let them know what you think of their new appointment:
John Woodcock, whose review proposes bans for protest groups, has lobbying links to firms in arms and fossil fuel sectors.
Conflict of interest? Really? No doing the wishes of the #Conservative#maladministration and their corporate sponsors. New party slogan ‘bugger the environment’.
My goodness. Next thing the Gruaniad will be telling us is that Scotland and Wales are getting things right and attempting to actually do something about the damage that Thatcher, her Tories and Labour have done to the whole of the UK!
Robert Buckland has accused the Tory who defected to Labour of approaching him when he was justice secretary before the trial of Elphicke
Meanwhile
"The Labour leader had secretly met Elphicke for the first time the previous day, as he has all defectors, to ensure she was prepared for the inevitable scrutiny. "
Ministers in charge of the UK’s climate policies met with fossil fuel companies and lobbyists over 100 times last year, four times as much as they did external climate scientists, campaigners, and charities.
These ministerial oil and gas industry meetings came as the government backtracked on several policies designed to meet the UK’s 2050 net zero emissions target.
Natalie Elphicke, one of the nastiest right-wing zealots in parliament, joining Labour is a sad reflection on Labour's shameful move to the right. Expect more anti-immigration rhetoric from the Red Tories.
I am not sure #Braverman, #Badenoch and the rest of her party are ‘#Reform-lite’, more wannabes who find a comfortable home within the Conservative party. There are many, many other reasons the public actively hate them (not a word I usually like to use as hate too often distracts from the actions needed to reflect the contempt we share). #ToryCorruption#UkPolitics
'In Tees Valley, Houchen managed to hold back the political tide through demonstrably driving greater access to opportunity for local people and giving his own region the chance to be part of Britain’s economic success of the future.’
No, he has lined his pockets and those of his friends at the expense of the people in his region and the aider UK.
With the benefit of hindsight and the stripping away of government and media (especially the BBC) lies, Orgreave is being reassessed. Not least with art.
So now cash-strapped NHS trusts are being required to balance their books, and as such are being forced to choose between repairing buildings or retaining staff.
This engineered crisis of the NHS looks to be accelerating as the Tories use their last months in Govt. to squeeze the health service some more & ensure the maximum mess for Labour to deal with on gaining power (a mess so big the Tories will soon start blaming Labour for not clearing it up).
@ChrisMayLA6 The Tories repeatedly tell us that 'their plan is working'.
That plan would appear to be the destruction of the NHS, pollution of rivers and seas, economic decline, voter suppression, international isolation, fascism, etc.
