UK faces £33bn hole in finances or return to austerity, thinktank says

So it’s almost official we are stuffed. Obviously living outside our means. Both the ruling parties have told us so.

But only those if means were constrained by selling of public assets overseas, leasing them back at a premium, running down public services to force their privatisation, siphoning monies off to cronies, and…

For gods sake, we allow Corporate interests to drive Labour and Conservative politicians (plus some others) to tell the children they preside over what our means are and what our priorities should be while hiding their own interests.

No feckin wonder they want to slash - that is their profit margins we are talking about.

2019, just a reminder of the violent rhetoric the fascists use and how food products are not comparable to bullets

Daily Mail wailing that Victoria the Milkshake Queen is a "Jeremy Corbyn loving Only Fans model" this giving their readership something to be angry and horny about

The classy thing to do as Brit politician getting a milkshake is to laugh it off and not press charges, but of course Nigel won't be letting the lady off for making him look foolish now, that's not how populists work.....

Nigel Farage meets his match. A strawberry I think.

The milk shake won.

"Two years ago, Streeting became the first member of Keir Starmer’s shadow cabinet to visit Israel, in a move designed to signal a break with Jeremy Corbyn’s pro-Palestine position"
"Streeting described the ICJ case as a “distraction”."
"He has also accepted £175,000 in donations from companies linked to private healthcare, raising concerns that he would further privatise Britain’s National Health Service (NHS)"
Not getting my vote.

"What do Young people think of Brexit and the legacy handed down to them by older generations?"

The politicos never ask that question, do they?

Victoria the Milkshaker is probably young enough to have never voted on Brexit, yet she's been told she has to suffer it for at least 10 more years and there will be no discussion on that this election.

Then Mr Brexit strolls into her town, feeling entitled to be an MP despite his big idea destroying the nation.

When you are denied a voice, direct action is your only option.

The lass that milkshaked Farage the fascist has been arrested.

How long do you reckon it will take to fill the crowdfunder to pay her fine?

EDIT: the antifacists' name is 'Victoria'

I'm afraid that however satisfying it was to see Nige soaked, it leads to headlines like this.

He's a clown, best to treat him like one or the right will try to make him a martyr.

The Tories are an exceptional toxic set of rats in a corner. It's best not give them the slightest opportunity to paint Labour as crazed terrorists.

Faiza Shaheen has resigned from the Labour Party:

"Being removed as a candidate has been cruel and devastating, especially after local voters and party members have placed so much faith in me....I cannot, in all conscience, continue to contribute to a party that seems to think so little of people like me and has moved so far away from my values.”

What's Farridge going to run on anyway.

His ol' mucker Don The Literal Con tried to reprise MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN with MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, AGAIN...

Not sure GET BREXIT REDONE will fare any better.

@PhilipCJames There is a further point. How does Farage really win here? Not by becoming an MP. How Farage really gets what he wants is by making everybody else dance to the Reform agenda. In the Tories he has done that a lot. He has even affected Labour. The whole agenda is shifted right.

Farage could lose every war but still win the battle if the UK ends up politically as Reform.

I don't feel inclined to listen to the new leader of a political party that won only two council seats on May 2nd.
