Amazing work!
Now how about some God damn consequences?!

After the referendum, the BBC chief Lord Hall ordered the BBC to treat Brexit as a done deal, a decision which all but wholly excluded Remainer opinion from the BBC for over 2 years, thus grossly biasing the debate. It was a grotesque abuse of democracy.

Brexit was won by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history. This was just one of them.

Andy Burnham says he's open to 'honest discussion' on EU free movement. So let's tell him loud and clear that we want our Freedom of Movement restored. – at Brighton, England
1/ Andy Burnham says he's open to 'honest discussion' on EU free movement, but he continues to cling to Starmer's red lines.
Please repost if you want Burnham to work to restore our EU Freedom of Movement as soon as possible. It was robbed from us by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

It makes perfect sense for billionaire-owned media outlets to attack NHS consultants…🚨🚨🚨
I’ve explained why in this piece: jujuliagrace.substack.com/p/…

I’m fed up with certain politicians saying we need to “respect” the result of the 2016 Brexit referendum.
A decision by a narrow majority 10yrs ago that turned out to be a disaster does not have to be respected.
If a democracy cannot change its mind it ceases to be a democracy.

One year on from PPE Medpro declaring itself bankrupt and unable to repay the £122m to DHSC for supplying faulty PPE, UK govt not rec’d a penny while those & their children linked to company still enjoy yachts, houses, jet. Co. also owes UK taxpayers £65m unpaid tax. Sickening

Brexit headbangers still appearing on national television attempting to justify leaving the EU
These people are either liars or tangibly thick - or both

It's shocking to see 'low-wage care workers' portrayed as a drain on the welfare state. They're doing essential jobs and the only reason they claim benefits is that the fat cat private equity bosses that own care homes don't pay them enough to live on.

🇪🇺🇬🇧 Burnham is burying Brexit.
Labour leads the polls with 32%, while Burnham’s pro-European stance aligns with the majority of Britons
His approach could force the Conservatives to abandon their pro-Brexit position if they want to return to power.
Brexit has become politically toxic in Britain.
The Conservatives may eventually have no choice but to leave it behind.

Private equity is a remarkable innovation. You buy a functioning company, load it with debt, sell its assets, fire half the staff, collect millions in fees, and when it collapses, explain how creative destruction makes capitalism so fucking efficient.

The EU isn’t just a huge market on our doorstep it is an alliance of 27 countries making decisions about the future of our continent in these very troubled times. The UK needs to be part of that vital conversation

Want Britain back in the EU? Don't assume everyone knows how you feel. Say it at work, at dinner, online and to your MP. Every visible supporter makes it easier for someone else to speak up. We need to be seen.

Instead of building more AI data centers, which 66% of Americans oppose, I have a better idea.
Let’s build 7 million affordable homes & apartments.
Let’s build more hospitals, schools & childcare centers.
Let’s create an economy that works for all, not just the top 1 percent.

What is wrong with this world?
Shell has just DOUBLED its profits to over $10 billion thanks to the Iran war. They’re drinking champagne, whilst our energy bills are set to reach their highest EVER level by January. To top it all, Shell is now brazenly demanding tax cuts.

I need to understand why it is always the least well off that are targeted to bail out the UK.
We have billionaires dodging taxes, MPs claiming outrageous expenses and covid fraud that reads like a triple Power Ball rollover.
Why not target these disgraces.

Margaret Thatcher replaced Domestic Rates with Council Tax.
Under Domestic Rates if your house was worth 100x the average you paid 100x the average.
Under Council Tax it is capped at 3x, so people in Castle's pay little more than you.
Tax the rich, bring back Domestic Rates.

Everything that has come from Kemi Badenoch and the tories lately has reinforced the fact that their mantra remains:
'If you're wealthy, we want to help make you wealthier. If you're poor, we don't give a fuck about you.'
They've learned nothing
