Two Tier Policing. Just Stop Oil got 21 years for planning to block a road. The Far Right block emergency vehicles they don't even get arrested.

The BBC has been showcasing the views of oil tycoon Jim Ratcliffe in every news show for the last 24 hours, noting that he's "one of Britain's richest men". Shouldn't this be "one of Monaco's richest men"? How about similar airtime for (say) one of Britain's poorest women?

The hypocrisy of this man who is now lobbying for Palantir — the vile US outfit supplying Israel with artificial intelligence and data software for its genocide in Gaza - is off the scale.
"Israeli jets pound Gaza after teenagers' deaths" theguardian.com/world/2014/j… Outrageous conduct by Israel.

Revolving doors. Labour peer and former Labour deputy leader Tom Watson joins Palantir. Palantir is trying to save its £330m NHS contract, wants more public contracts. Nick Clegg, Rishi Sunak, George Osborne and others have taken similar jobs. theguardian.com/politics/202…

Palantir have just bought themselves a Labour Lord with close links to the Labour government. No other word to describe this other than corruption. How can Watson remain a member of the House of Lords and keep the Labour whip?

Steve Reed on 25 March explaining that the £100k cap on donations "will therefore apply retrospectively, so it includes all donations from overseas electors received from today". Yes, but how are people who never bother going to Parliament supposed to know that?

Dear @Ofcom Please can you clarify to the nation why this is allowed under your current broadcasting rules? A sitting MP [sometimes] on a TV channel he part owns, delivering a party political broadcast on behalf of Reform UK? Seriously ... WTF?
Nigel Farage exposes how Labour and the Tories hand out government contracts to their donors. Under Reform UK, contracts will benefit the taxpayer - not our donors.

Susanna Reid: "what does anyone expect in return for £72m?" Kevin Maguire: ".. funnily enough Reform doesn't have anybody to speak on social care.. but it has a very detailed policy on crypto currency.. & it would coincidentally make these billionaires even more money" #GMB

Richard Tice referred to Trade Unions as "Labour's paymasters". Unions represent working people. Who do crypto-billionaires represent?

Tice apologises for failing to declare a foreign visit. Reform Welsh leader steps down over accusations of assault and coercive behaviour. Endless scandal about money. This is the reality of far right parties. Always their own interests and business not that of the public. It is Trumpism and the last thing we need

So.... £2,485 on glasses for a PM was "sleaze rotting our politics to the core" but £72,000,000 in a single day for Nigel Farage is celebrated as hitting "the jackpot" and a "war chest..." Whatever is happening here is happening in plain sight. You decide!

I imagine the cost of channel 4 news is a fraction of BBC news, but with their recents pieces on Farage and Robinson they have done more of a public service and actual journalism than the current BBC news has in years.

Riddle me this. If somebody donates £36 million to a political party and £5 million to its leader, how is the £5 million not political? Asking for a parliamentary standards commissioner.

I served 22 yrs in the British army, so I think I've earned the right to call myself a patriot more than the wife beating flag shaggers can who mince around in balaclavas intimidating @RNLI volunteers. These racist fucks are neither patriotic nor Christian #FarageFascistArmy
