It's also roughly the same percentage as the (unelected) deputies, who claim routinely to speak for all Jews and with far fewer brain cells between them.

643 people sent me a DM yesterday about my post exposing how Andy Burnham’s Manchester council machine secretly intercepts emails from the public.
I believe this new revelation is going to trigger an even bigger shockwave.
Manchester City Council is currently fighting tooth and nail to keep a massive urban regeneration contract hidden from taxpayers.
The corporate partner is a Hong Kong-based developer called Far East Consortium. The funding is a staggering £120 million of public money, including £34.1 million handed over directly by Burnham’s combined authority.
Here is the specific detail that exposes the absolute arrogance of the modern political class.
When a local resident filed a request to read the document, the Chinese developer actually consented to its publication. It was the British council that intervened, heavily redacted the contract, and officially branded the taxpayer’s request for basic transparency as "manifestly unreasonable."
We are operating in a geopolitical environment where foreign powers routinely use infrastructure and property investment to build leverage inside Western cities.
Yet local Labour authorities are handing nine-figure sums of public wealth to Chinese-linked conglomerates, while deploying the full weight of their legal departments to keep British citizens in the dark.
They are perfectly comfortable outsourcing the regeneration of a major UK city to foreign capital. They are just terrified of the people funding the project ever seeing the actual terms.

Your reminder that Gaza had functioning drainage, sewerage and water treatment systems before Israel systematically destroyed them.
And homes.

If the Speaker of The House is already “selected” before a single vote is cast, it’s time to stop pretending we live in a democracy.

If you suggest the ideology that is driving this deliberately engineered humanitarian catastrophe is racist, then Labour will cancel your bin collections and torpedo your local council.

In this morning's update:-
Andy Burnham's GMCA lent £55.7m in 2017 to the Manchester Life companies, Manchester City Council's joint venture with Abu Dhabi United Group, owner of Manchester City.
Asked about these loans on Good Morning Britain, Angela Rayner said:- "all of that is transparent. The Prime Minister says he is happy for people to see that."
Yesterday, a day late, GMCA refused to release the loan documents, calling my request "vexatious". In the same letter it admits there is "a legitimate public interest in transparency and accountability concerning GMCA's use of public money".
I asked for just five documents:- the two reports councillors approved the loans on, and the three loan agreements.
Burnham told Parliament on 12 October "all my dealings will be published", and promised to put out "everything that I have done working with them" as Mayor.
GMCA has told the press it has no active partnerships with Abu Dhabi United Group. If that is the case, why hide it?

I love how paying workers more requires a national debate about inflation, productivity and business survival, but paying the CEO another $20 million just requires a fucking meeting.
William Large retweeted
Corporate efficiency is fucking incredible. You fire half the workforce, make the remaining employees do three jobs, replace customer service with a chatbot that doesn't work, raise prices 20%, and give the CEO a $15 million bonus for improving productivity.

This disgusting government is supplying the arms and surveillance over Gaza to fuel Israel’s genocide. It is arresting thousands of protesters and breaking up local councils that oppose the ideology of Zionism.
This is hollow nonsense.

Utterly scandalous that this isn't getting wider traction and outrage.
A clear national asset & treasure, a repository for knowledge that is of national & global renown, as significant a living monument as any damn slave trader statue--and not a peep from the heritage brigade.

This is an absolute 'must read' - a complete takedown of Burnham. It's far worse than you think it is...
When I posted yesterday about Andy Burnham’s political machine secretly intercepting public emails to protect his Abu Dhabi property deals, my inbox was flooded by people thanking me for finally calling out what goes on in Manchester.
Well, I woke up this morning and looked at the latest financial disclosures coming out of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, and the rabbit hole just got so much darker.
Burnham's authority has been caught funnelling nearly £1,000,000 of taxpayer money to completely anonymous beneficiaries in a series of secret payments.
They paid out £83,000 in rent to a hidden landlord. They handed out thousands in anonymous "consultancy fees." Worst of all, they gave a £210,000 capital grant to a property developer and completely redacted the name from the public ledger.
When journalists finally confronted them, the authority claimed hiding the £210,000 developer payout was just a "human error" and blamed the rest of the secrecy on data protection laws.
Look at the terrifying double standard at play here.
If a working citizen misfiles a tax return by fifty pounds or makes a mistake on a local form, the state will investigate their entire life, apply ruthless penalty fines, and threaten them with court.
But when Burnham's regional authority hands a fifth of a million pounds of public cash to an anonymous property developer, they simply shrug and call it a clerical typo.
This is exactly how the modern British political cartel operates. They use the language of bureaucracy and data protection as a legal shield to funnel public wealth to private, hidden corporate interests.
I am sorry, but they are not governing a city. They are running a shadow ledger with your money, and they are terrified of the public finding out who is actually cashing the checks.
