1991: Let us privatise water, it'll cost every household in the country about £2000 more over 30 years, but we'll take that money and use it to upgrade infrastructure
2021: yeah, we didn't do that. We took the £60billion total and deposited it in our Cayman Islands bank accounts
For historical context, this is probably the most important video you'll ever watch. Let Israelis tell you in their own words how they stole other people's land, how they raped young girls, how they tortured and massacred innocent civilians.
"I worked bloody hard to pay £3,000 for a three-bedroomed house when I was your age, so you should work bloody hard to pay £600,000 for a studio apartment" seems to be a genuine opinion doing the rounds.
This Christmas:
Boris Johnson is jetting off to a private Caribbean island.
Jeremy Corbyn will be helping out in a homeless shelter.
Pretty much says it all.
I bet Laura Kuenssberg is absolutely livid and had an appalling Sunday afternoon. She's been building up to having her own show for years and Joe Lycett has drained every last gram of credibility out of it in the first episode. Fantastic, deserved comeuppance.
Obama's nothingness gave us Trump.
Macron's nothingness will give us Le Pen.
Starmer's nothingness will give us Farage.
Lily-livered Centrism is the gateway drug to Fascism.
With multiple journalists confirming Boris Johnson did say "let the bodies pile high" six months ago, the big question is, why didn't they tell us six months ago?
MP with 1 kid: £104pw child allowance
MP with 2 kids: £208pw child allowance
MP with 3 kids: £313pw child allowance
Public with 1 kid: £24pw child benefit
Public with 2 kids: £40pw child benefit
Public with 3 kids: £40pw child benefit
Do you see the massive disparity?
This is where we're at:
Media: "Do you watch the Queen's Speech?"
Corbyn: "No, I'm normally helping out at a homeless shelter on Xmas Day."
Media: "You bastard!"
How about this: MPs aren't allowed to earn any other income apart from their salary. No seats on boards. No consulting. No lobbying. No shares. No second property. If you want to represent the people, you work at one job. If you don't like it, make way for someone more worthwhile
So, it's been revealed that Boris Johnson spends on average £800 a week on takeaways.
Staggeringly, that's more than the wages of 75% of the UK adult population.
What 100 Tory Special Advisers were terrified might happen … just happened.
Forgetting he was being filmed, Boris Johnson caught begging Nick Ferrari to get off the subject of Social Care, as he was dying on his arse.
This is the
#GE2019
pivotal moment, savour it.
It's really pretty simple, if you are working full time (even on minimum wage), but your bills are more than your take home pay, then the system is broken. Everyone should be able to house, heat, feed, clothe, commute, enjoy life, etc on their own wage in a decent society
I'll buy a pint for the first journalist who asks Starmer: "How the hell does a human rights lawyer abstain on decriminalising state sponsored murder?"

Could we have some intelligent scientists, professors, doctors, etc instead of right-wing mouthpieces?
Keir Starmer saying we can't have nationalised utilities because Covid increased debt.
Imagine if Clement Attlee had said we can't have the NHS and Social Housing because WWII increased debt.
Heavily armed Russian troops beating defenseless Ukrainian women ... Oh no, hang on, it's heavily armed Israeli troops beating defenseless Palestinian women. That's been going on for decades and weirdly doesn't get the same media attention, does it?
Jeremy Corbyn was a contender to be PM and I saw his front door 100+ times on the BBC news. Liz Truss is a contender to be PM and I've never seen her front door on the BBC news. That's a bit not-impartial.
If I were one of the people who voted for
@JamesCleverly
I'd want to know how he managed to justify claiming £327,000 in expenses in just 2 years when his constituency is only 45 miles from Parliament...
Remember, the Tories will probably try and do something shit while we're all in a hungover haze tomorrow; sell children's organs to the Chinese, privatise fresh air, etc. Can someone stay sober and keep an eye on it?
#ENGCOL
Remember when Corbyn had a plan to only tax the richest in society, but you decided you couldn't vote for that because, laughingly. you thought you might one day be rich? Well, now Boris Johnson has a plan to tax the poor and the middle earners. So that includes you. Bummer, eh?
Last year Richard Branson's VirginCare made £8m profit, but paid £0 tax.
Last year John Mcdonnell received £87,353 salary, paid £24,099 in tax.
Nurses paid for:
Richard Branson 0
John McDonnell 1
3 weeks after being elected as mayor, Boris Johnson went on holiday.
During the London riots, he was on holiday.
During parliament vote on Heathrow, he fled the country.
Verge of WWIII, he's away on holiday.
The UK has basically elected a shit Judith Chalmers.

if you're looking to out political activists who've confronted politicians under the guise of being a regular member of the public, tune into BBC1 tonight at 10:45pm, there's usually dozens of them.

I just checked the 2010 Tory manifesto, it doesn't mention that they were planning to borrow £862,331,000,000 over the next 9.5 years … but they have.
If you're curious, that's £31,244 for every single household in the UK.
Sick of getting nothing for it? Vote Labour.
Dear Tory Voter,
Boris Johnson has lied to:
The Queen
His Newspaper Boss
His Party Leader
His Wife
The G7 Summit
TV Interviewers
The Business Confederation
His Lover
Houses of Parliament
His Party Conference
The United Nations
What makes you think he's telling you the truth?

The Royal Family, The BBC, The Government, The Opposition, The Newspapers, The Police, etc, etc, etc. Literally the entire UK establishment is wildly out of control, we need a complete reset, an overdue revolution.
Theresa May: "When will he answer my question?"
Jeremy Corbyn: "You're meant to answer the questions, not ask them"
Theresa May: "I didn't ask a question!"
Really, she really said that
It's beyond a joke, May is a national embarrassment.
#PMQs
The idea that Corbyn, who volunteers at foodbanks in his spare time, is excluded from being a Labour MP, while Blair, who takes £10s of millions from torturing dictators in his spare time, is still a Labour member, is about as unjust as something can be.
We've tried 40 years of transferring wealth from the poor to the rich and it hasn't worked, let's try 40 years of transferring wealth from the rich to the poor and see what happens.
Corbyn planned to spend £48bn a year to permanently fix the entire economy. LibDems now propose spending £36bn just to temporarily halt the energy price increase. 2017 will go down as the most humungous missed opportunity of all time.
Imagine if there was as much media outrage at Theresa May 'losing' 114 files of Westminster paedophilia as there was at Diane Abbott having a drink on a train.
It wasn't just that Sunak admitted he'd taken money from poorer areas to give to wealthier areas, he was bragging that he'd done it, he was showing off, he was proud to have worsened inequality.
It's so bizarre that we mock the state media of Russia, North Korea, China, etc when the BBC is literally the global architect of establishment propaganda.
Marcus Rashford buying his mum a lovely new home due to his successful career and Darren Grimes moving back in with his mum due to his unsuccessful career is the analogy I'm enjoying most.
Boris Johnson could literally hump Jennifer Accuri, both dressed as Nazis, live on the set of The One Show while it was being aired and BBC News still wouldn't report it.
If you haven't seen Shehab Khan's destruction of Michael Gove, give yourself a 40 second treat now.
I bet Michael wished he did have experts to guide him, rather than the liar Boris Johnson.
I want to pay respect to Jeremy Corbyn
A man who has taken more undeserved abuse than anyone else in my lifetime. Who was stabbed in the back daily by people in Labour not fit to tie his shoelaces
A man of peace, love and warmth who took it all because he wanted to help others
1. Thread. Long list of Tory abuse, fraud, violence, racism, sexism, homophobia, sectarianism, child abuse, manslaughter and much, much more.
Recent cases and historic examples that show how ingrained the problem is:
Remember when Rishi Sunak saved you £10 on a meal out last year, & you all said he was lovely, yeah, well he's just gifted billions to fraudsters, wasted billions on duff PPE, gifted billions in tax cuts to the mega-rich & let your NI & energy bills go up a grand! Still lovely?!?
Nigel Farage, who has 0 MPs, delivering a letter to Theresa May, who has just resigned as PM, to demand a seat at the EU negotiations, that ended 3 months ago, might just win the award of most empty political gesture of the day.
Count Binface (London Mayor Candidate) has a policy of the Royal family choosing one of their homes to live in and all their other properties being used to house homeless people, and it's the best policy from all the mayoral candidates put together.
About one million very wealthy people in the UK would be better off if the NHS was replaced with a private healthcare system.
About sixty seven million people in the UK would be worse off if the NHS was replaced with a private healthcare system.
Which group are you in?
If you donate to the Tory party and the Tory party award you or a family member with a government contract that is corruption. Plain and simple 100% corruption.
If the guy filming the 10 migrant kids in a dinghy turns his camera around 180 degrees and zooms in a long way he might just be able to capture the Tories committing tens of billions of £££ of corruption.
BBC Political Editor is quite possibly the most important journalistic position in the UK. The incumbent's output will massively influence millions of votes. It should be occupied by someone who is unflinchingly, 100% impartial. Laura Kuenssberg is 0% impartial. She is 100% Tory.
Since he became Leader of the OPPOSITION, Keir Starmer has tweeted:
4 times to wish Boris Johnson well.
1 time to wish Tony Lloyd well.
0 times to ask why NHS staff don't have enough PPE.
Really struggling to remember the last time, if ever, someone dominated the entire media airwaves as Mick Lynch did yesterday. The establishment threw everything at him and he just calmly batted it all away with common sense, decent, honesty and integrity. A lesson to us all.
Boris Johnson and his team are terrified that voters will get to learn of his derogatory and arrogant opinions.
Here are just 10 of them. It would be a shame if they were widely shared.
If Pippa Crerar purposefully drip fed that Cummings story over 2 days, to entrap all those Tory ministers half way through, it's the best bit of devious journalism in years.
Boris Johnson has now refused to do interviews with the BBC & ITV, refused to turn up to tv debates or attend hustings in his local seat.
No other PM in modern times has ever put so much effort into avoiding scrutiny.
We voters just have to ask ourselves, what is he hiding?
For decades, these privately educated, oxbridge graduated, middle class, puny, establishment, lifeless little white boys naturally drifted into the arms of the Tory Party to dump on the electorate. Not any more.
If you redistribute money to the wealthiest in society, it'll just be put into offshore bank accounts and do nothing for the economy.
If you redistribute money to the poorest in society, it'll immediately be spent in shops & businesses and stimulate the economy.
Labour have announced they would cut the energy bills of the 4m households on prepay meters by an average of £28.25 each over the coldest 6 months. That's about 15p per day. I'm not kidding. That's the BIG proposal they've been working on for weeks. Sick with rage.
Starmer saying Sturgeon has to resign after refusing to say Johnson, Williamson, Hancock, Patel, etc have to resign is extraordinary. The guy is either a complete incompetent or a Tory plant.
The
@BBCNews
at 6 o'clock headlines. Not a single mention of the announcement from Porton Down.
The BBC has moved way past biased, it is now dangerously irresponsible and complicit in government lying to the public.
2yrs ago, Jeremy Corbyn revealed cast iron proof that the entire NHS would be gifted to private healthcare companies under a Tory Govt
The media covered it up
Now the entire NHS is being gifted to private healthcare companies under a Tory Govt
The media is still covering it up
BBC & ITV Journalists attend Boris Johnson's hospital visit in Cornwall.
Johnson confronted by nurses who make it clear they don't trust him.
ITV releases footage.
BBC doesn't release footage.
BBC News = £4bn a year Tory propaganda department.
Tony Blair urged you to vote Tory
Peter Mandelson urged you to vote Tory
Margaret Hodge urged you to vote Tory
John Woodcock urged you to vote Tory
Ivan Lewis urged you to vote Tory
Ian Austin urged you to vote Tory
Johnson won GE with the full endorsement of Labour right-wing.
Tories: "Do you make ventilators?"
Ventilator Manufacturer: "Yes"
Tories: "Hang on a minute"
Tories: "Do you make ventilators?"
Vacuum Manufacturer: "Nope"
Tories: "Great, have the contract"
In 2018, Corbyn gained 79 English council seats, Lab MPs screamed for an inquiry as to why he didn't do better.
In 2022, Starmer gained just 22 English council seats, Lab MPs stated they were on course for government.
It's laughable. Tragically laughable.
A full time pay packet should be enough to pay for accommodation, food, bills, transport, clothing, etc, with some left over for fun. If it doesn't, the pay is too low or the costs are too high.
Current Tory Ministers who have previously said they are against the idea of proroguing parliament:
Michael Gove
Matt Hancock
Andrea Leadsom
Nicky Morgan
Amber Rudd
Sajid Javid
George Freeman
If I was a TV reporter, I'd be outside their houses tomorrow morning with a film crew.
Remarkably Jacob Rees-Mogg is now best-priced 9/2 favourite to be the next Tory leader.
Only a nation with such a right-wing press could convince so many of the downtrodden masses that being lorded over by a Dickensian fop was even remotely acceptable.

Tory colleague: "Shall we sleep on the job while claiming £1500 a day in salary, expenses & perks?"

If a man disagrees with a woman, it doesn't make him sexist.
If a straight person disagrees with a gay person, it doesn't make them homophobic.
If a non-Jewish person disagrees with a Jewish person, it doesn't make them anti-Semitic.
Really surprised this needs saying in 2018.
I've seen hundred/thousands of crazy things in British politics over the last few decades, but Louise Ellman criticising Corbyn for being at an event...that she herself was at...might take the hypocrisy biscuit.
The evidenced revelation tonight that Dominic Cummings has spent the last few weeks editing his old blog posts, including pandemic links to make it look like he was some kind of genius on the subject, brings into question pretty much everything else he's ever written.
Surprised this needs saying, but if Tommy Robinson, Boris Johnson, Trevor Phillips, Julia Hartley-Brewer, etc, are on your march, it's not an anti-racism march.
This is a lovely bloke reading a lovely book by a lovely author to some lovely kids.
If your first impulse is to pour poison into that, you have big issues, you probably need to re-evaluate your entire life.
