Blocked by Al Murray. Who? you may ask and rightly so, a waste of a privileged Bedford School education? Or, one chosen, to distract while they rule/dismantle?

Me waiting for rightwing commentators to be as angry about children turning up to school hungry and malnourished as they are children turning up to school in a hijab. independent.co.uk/news/educa…

Vanessa Feltz is Jewish

This is Israeli asset Vanessa Feltz.
She replaced Sangita Myska on LBC.
Sangita was sacked within 48 hrs of asking Israeli spokesman Avi Hyman questions he didn't like.
Feltz who replaced Sangita claims that Israel doesn't use
"genocidal talk" when referring to Palestinians.

Burnham promised left wing policies on the campaign trail, then once elected morphed into Tony Blair, once a Blairite always a Blairite.

So Palantir buying a Labour Lord was good value for their money after all.
Cash for access. Stinks.
Palantir’s Tom Watson, ex-Labour MP, wrote to Yvette Cooper last month saying the controversial US company could help boost the UK’s tech sovereignty, letters show. Weeks later, sources say the UK is extending its NHS contract for two more years

Neither Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland use Palantir.
Just England.
There is absolutely no measurable benefits from using Palantir and no reason why England cannot stop using Palantir.

Corporate lobbying is at the heart of neoliberalism.
And neoliberalism is something @andyburnham was undeniably scathing about on the road to Number Ten.
What happened, Prime Minister?
General Leigh Surly retweeted
Palantir have paid huge sums to former Labour ministers to lobby for this.
The NHS sees no convincing patient benefit.
Like the US told Trump this week, we're done with big tech corporations taking over our democracy and public assets.
Labour won't stand up to them. We will.
ALT Palantir to keep NHS deal for fear of patient disruption

This man is about as popular as the pox.
European leaders wake up.
Russians are using “shahed” drones and missiles to hit even the energy equipment that our nuclear power plants depend on. Every power plant in Ukraine has been damaged in one way or another by Russian attacks.
We need transformers, and power cables, modern electrical equipment, and different generators – both diesel and gas. We know that companies in Spain and Latin America can help with this. We are interested in transformers from Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia, power cables from Chile, and electrical equipment, cables, and generators from Spain.
We need equipment that works with our power grid. And we need it fast. So please, help us work directly with your companies and get these supplies to Ukraine as quickly as possible. So let’s make it happen.

The UK’s gas use is set to surge by 40% driven by AI data centre usage.
And YOU will pay the increased prices AND subsidise their bill.
Isn't that nice?

Paul Nowak, "The national minimum wage is £12.71 an hour"
"Nobody on this panel is on £12.71 an hour"
"And I think it is right that we are looking to increase people's wages"
"Why? When low paid members get a pay rise, what do they do, they go out and spend it in local shops and local restaurants"
"They don't squirrel it away in offshore bank accounts"
My view:
For someone earning the least, a pay rise can mean putting the heating on without worrying, buying fresh food, or getting through the month without borrowing. That matters in its own right. People deserve more than a lifetime of work spent barely scraping by.
There is an economic value too. When household budgets have been stretched to breaking point, extra income helps meet needs that have gone unmet. That spending supports other people’s jobs and gives local businesses customers who can afford to walk through the door.
We spend so much time asking whether the economy can afford to pay people more. We should also ask what it costs us to keep so many people poor.
