The dominant parties (by MPs) have no wish to reform party or campaign funding and will take an easy pound no mater where it comes from (provided of course that we the public do not know). So no chance

The UK age requirements and VPN bullshit from Starmer is subversion paid for by facebook/meta/zuckerberg
2billion dollars in bribes and "lobbying" WORLDWIDE

@henry @EUCommission seems secretly cooperates with that company. Are there #bribes, is it politically, is it lobbying. #chatcontrol #ageverification

@Lazarou

The BBC are so biased they have convinced themselves up their own 'chimneys'. They are in the pocket of #ukgovernment and that #establishment is rotten to the core.

#starmer will start using every lie and innuendo available to divert from his own end.

The BBC need to wake up and look through the trees to the clearing inside the woods.

#westminster is #corrupt
#lobbying #bribes are destroying #democracy

On the bright side I could actually smile this morning.
Hope is on the agenda.

@CanvasesByPeter

Objections of the public, maybe.

The #ukgovernment is complicit in the #genocide and has taken #lobbying #bribes from the now out of control #autocratic #israel state

Somehow Israel has become the Nazi they fled

#starmer has been radicalised and has become degenerate
It is too late for him to repair his mistakes
Starmer must go
#westminster must clean up its mire

In addition to being #bigots #rapists #traitors, #republicans are #fraudsters #liars #crooks #gop #bribes #extortion #republican #rico

But don't worry, Maine.
