Wealthy white men from rural areas are the UK’s biggest emitters of climate-heating gases from transport, according to a study by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR).
The richest 0.1% in Britain emit 22 times more from transport than low earners & 12 times more than average. Income is directly linked to levels of mobility.
In the UK, transport is now the largest source of emissions.
So Victoria Derbyshire reveals today that disciplinary proceedings against Diane Abbott ended months ago. Consequently Starmer had to come clean that they have no intention of allowing her to stand in the next GE. What a nasty piece of work he is. #Labour#ukpolitics
Remember the main allegation was she didn’t take tax advice to avoid the risk of paying extra tax. As it is HMRC concluded there was no extra tax due, so she saved herself the cost of an accountant.
All journalists should remind themselves not to amplify smears from political opponents.
Is the British independent reviewer of extremism a Zionist asset?
An investigation on Lord Walney, a Zionist asset in UK. He's involved, amongst other things, in Leonardo. "Leonardo is an arms company that is linked to the Gaza genocide by providing components for F35 fighter jets and which has been repeatedly targeted by Palestine Action in both the UK and Italy"
He categorises Palestine Action and Just Stop Oil as terror groups..
Labour doesn't know what to do, they hate Diane Abbott but losing another seat to an independent in London would look bad. It won't effect their chances of Government but these are vain, public-school boys and they have to WIN (especially against a Black Lady...)
The UK Data Protection and Digital Information Bill 🗑️ 🥳
Getting this rights-busting legislation binned off at this late stage is not just good timing.
It's down to civil society challenging the dangerous proposals in the Bill every step of the way.
The next government is put on notice.
The bill, which passed its stage one vote by an overwhelming majority, will create 200-metre safe access zones, or “buffer zones”, to stop anti-choice campaign groups from protesting outside abortion service providers.
The Tories love loopholes - financial, hunting, taxes….
Why would the nationalisation of Thames Water end up putting its debt on the public books? If a company goes bust, and the govt buys the remains, surely the investors simply lose their investment and the debt falls to zero?
They want water companies to operate as profit makers, so they should accept when they go bust too.
First YouTube video for Bristol Central labour MP. Key theme “I like the green policies but Thangam is a nice person”.
This shows they know who the threat is -and are prepared to spend money trying to keep her as an MP. My reaction: turn on the iCloud “hide my network location” service #ukpolitics
"From railways to nurseries and children’s homes, investors are taking advantage of chances to siphon taxpayer funds offshore. Sector by sector, private equity is making deep inroads into UK public services"

Good morning lovely people 💕
Lazy day today after the music 🎶🎶 and fun of the last couple of days 😁
It was a small music festival but perfect!!!
I would like to meet the person who advised Sunak that National Service would be a policy to win an election.
Quite apart from being a bad idea on many levels, I'm amazed at its stupidity as an election policy. #ukpol#ukpolitics
After a late night wine and politics session with my grandson and his partner, Sunak's seemingly crazy policy announcements suddenly make sense.
He is not trying to defeat Labour. He's trying to defeat Reform. In the light of that, National Service makes sense. Labour may trounce the Tories, but Reform could completely destroy them. Ergo, try to take the wind from Reform, everyone else has already left the room. #ukpol#ukpolitics
