Boris Johnson was elected in 2019 to 'Get Brexit Done'. Why are we still waiting for the benefits?
Boris Johnson was elected in 2019 to 'Get Brexit Done'. Why are we still waiting for the benefits?
Cliffhanger: The Leave campaign infamously claimed Brexit would result in a £350m a week dividend for the UK. We never received it. Instead, Brexit has shrunk the UK economy by at least 4%, costing a huge amount of working time simply to do the new paperwork it has foisted on us.
Brexit – that was a huge con, wasn’t it?
The Conservatives swept to a landslide victory in December 2019 under the…

Why IS Labour backing banker bonuses so the children starve?
Why IS Labour backing banker bonuses so the children starve?
Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s decision that a Labour government will not reinstate a cap on bankers’ bonuses has stirred up a storm of opposition among left-wing organisations – and voters.
The cap limits yearly bonus payouts for bankers to twice their salary; it was introduced by the EU in 2014 when it was intended to prevent excessive risk-taking after the global financial crash of…

Rishi Sunak is reported to Parliament's sleaze watchdog over £1,000 Rwanda bet
Rishi Sunak is reported to Parliament's sleaze watchdog over £1,000 Rwanda bet
Rishi Sunak: he has bet £1,000 that he will be sending refugees to Rwanda before the general election. But has he broken the rules?
Rishi Sunak may have to answer to the independent adviser on ministers’ interests and the Cabinet Secretary after other MPs claimed a bet he made over his government’s Rwanda deportation policy broke the Ministerial Code.
Here’s what he did – and whether it was a…

Annie Lennox talks back against critics who attacked her demand for Gaza ceasefire
‘Peace in the world’: Annie Lennox demands a ceasefire.

Defunding UNRWA could be a primary act of genocide. Is the UK guilty?
Defunding UNRWA could be a primary act of genocide. Is the UK guilty?
UNRWA staff at work: do you see any terrorism here? [Archive image.]The United Kingdom may have committed a primary act of genocide against the people of Gaza by acting to defund the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA), based on nothing more than an unproven claim by Israel against 12 of its staff.
That is the claim by Tayab Ali, a director of the International Centre of…

Media complicity in genocide: Sky News gives airtime to liar and switches off comments
Media complicity in genocide: Sky News gives airtime to liar and switches off comments
Do not believe the person interviewed below.
It appears to be yet another attempt by Israel’s apologists to claim that Israeli women were subjected to systematic sexual violence by Hamas personnel and other Palestinians when they broke out from Gaza to kill around 1,200 Israelis (roughly half of whom were military personnel) on October 7 last year.
It is still possible that sexual violence took…

Israeli troops murdered Gazans and buried them in mass grave - like the Nazis
Israeli troops murdered Gazans and buried them in mass grave - like the Nazis
No longer an anti-Semitic comparison, it seems: bodies of Gazan civilians have been found, after they were apparently executed by members of the Israel Defence Force and dumped in a mass grave – as the Nazis dumped Holocaust victims during World War II. To whom does that make Benjamin Netanyahu equivalent, then?
The first This Writer knew of the latest Israeli atrocity in Gaza was this message on…

Angela Rayner in trouble AGAIN over Labour's terrible attitude to the Gaza genocide
Angela Rayner in trouble AGAIN over Labour's terrible attitude to the Gaza genocide
Angela Rayner: in trouble and she knows it.
Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner has again been challenged over her party’s – and her own – failure to demand an end to hostilities between Israel and the people of Gaza.
As the number of innocent people who have been killed in the enclave rises toward 30,000, Rayner told interviewers on ITV’s Good Morning Britain that she would do “everything I…

Israeli spokesman demands UK reporter lose her job. Will Sky News cave in?
Israeli spokesman demands UK reporter lose her job. Will Sky News cave?
Heated: the interview was tense, but now Danny Danon (right) thinks he can bully Sky News into sacking Belle Donati (left) – or forcing her to resign.
A prominent member of the Israeli government has demanded the resignation of Sky News anchor Belle Donati after she apparently compared Israel’s genocide in Gaza with the Nazi Holocaust.
Here’s his post on ‘X’, containing his letter to David…

British Gas boss gets £1.6bn bonus. Whoever said 'the wages of sin are death' was wrong
British Gas boss gets £1.6bn bonus. Whoever said 'the wages of sin are death' was wrong
Money to burn: British Gas.
Why is a utility provider making a 1,000 per cent increase in profits?
It’s inflationary, it’s impoverishing customers… it should be illegal.
No firm of this kind should make profits above a certain – very low – percentage. A huge increase indicates a fault in the company’s pricing system – probably fuelled by greed and opportunism.

Israeli Ambassador to the UK incited genocide. Why hasn't she been expelled?
Tzipi Hotovely: it’s time for this genocide supporter to go home.
“Dear Rishi Sunak,
You will be aware that the UK and Israel are both signatories of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
Tzipi Hotovely, Israel’s current Ambassador to the UK, has appeared on UK radio inciting genocide.
In order for the Convention to have any meaning, there must be…

Britain's biggest bosses have already made your 2024 salary. Why?
Britain's biggest bosses have already made your 2024 salary. Why?
If you’re not angry about this, then you probably deserve to have your earnings absorbed by your fatcat boss’s bank account.
The bosses of the UK’s biggest companies are so unbelievably greedy that, while they pay their lowest-waged workers a pittance that may even be less that it’s possible to live on, they drew as much money in their salaries by January 4 as the average-paid worker will receive…

John McDonnell gets it: UK risks shift to fascism without radical change soon
John McDonnell gets it: UK risks shift to fascism without radical change soon
John McDonnell: he’s right to fear a far-right ascendancy if current Labour leader Keir Starmer fails to restore faith in UK politics.
Public disillusionment and disconnection with politics could lay the UK wide open to an invasion of far-right populists and fascists.
The onus will be on the Labour Party – if it wins the next election – to re-establish trust in politics and restore belief that…

KPMG: just one of the ‘Big Four’ consultancies on which both Labour and the Tories rely.
Keir Starmer’s Labour Party has quadrupled its use of consultants from the so-called Big Four firms – who also advise the Conservatives.
Have a think about that.
It seems,
The opposition party received £287,000 in donations of staff time from consultancy firms in the year to September 2023, up from £72,000 in…

Squatting is on the rise again in Britain - because the government wants it?
Squatting is on the rise again in Britain - because the government wants it?
It’s bad for business, you know.
If rents or house prices are too high, they go empty, meaning their owners make no money from them.
Left empty, they become prey to squatters – people who can’t afford to rent or buy houses – who move in by whatever means they can.
