The Mail and the Telegraph owned by the same man? It would be a disaster for the UK’s free press

I like Lord Rothermere, but a media landscape dominated by a few powerful figures is a grave threat to our democracy, says the Conservative MP David Davis

The Guardian

@orangutanwriter I heard #DavidDavis talking about #refugees

He pointed out that many come from countries that we have bombed or are complicit in the bombing and conflicts

#tory telling the obvious, but often unspoken, truth

I will guarantee you will never hear anyone in #Labour say this

@jackLondon @orangutanwriter

Overall, I think both #tory party and #labour party leadership are appallingly dishonest and unrepresentative
Which is worse for dishonesty - they are both terrible
Would you say #starmer is a good example of honesty in politics?

And both parties are way too enthusiastic to uncritically engage in military "adventures"

So when a politician speaks about #war and #refugees accurately and honestly its noteworthy

Depressing eh?
#militarism #starmer #UKPolitics

@jackLondon @orangutanwriter
Starmer may be less "war horny" than #Blair
But he is #establishment to his core - I cant see him standing up against any US pressure
He would happily have the UK ride pillion-passenger on any ill thought-out mission
Most Politicians love posing by tanks and troops and strutting about on "the world stage" #Starmer will do that with enthusiasm

@jackLondon @orangutanwriter I am far from convinced #Labour will be "sorting out" anything much - so a bit of overseas "action" would be a great distraction and *excuse* for 5 years of #ManagedDecline and a #authoritarianism

I hope so much that I am wrong -5 more years of austerity and #NHS privatisation will kill more people
