The Tories were just so antisemitic, they forced the BBC to cover it
The Conservative Party’s ongoing antisemitism crisis has become so bad even the BBC and some sections of the corporate media have covered it. Pro-Nazi activity? In the final week of the election, another three Conservative parliamentary candidates are facing calls to stand down after antisemitic incidents. Candidate Sally-Ann Hart is standing in Hastings, which is a very close Labour-Tory… → Read More
A Jeremy Corbyn-led government would be a boom for business, here's why
The corporate media line that Jeremy Corbyn is a threat to business is nothing short of a caricature. Economically speaking – it’s nonsense, which is why 163 economists recently endorsed the Labour manifesto. In reality, there’s no question that a Corbyn-led government would be a boom for business. Repeat after me: government finances are not like your household’s It takes a degree of unlearning… → Read More

Watch Sajid Javid tell a lie so jawdropping it'd make Boris Johnson blush
Chancellor Sajid Javid stood accused of possibly the worst lie of the election campaign on 5 December. It’d probably even make Boris Johnson blush. ‘Labour is responsible for homelessness’ Speaking on Sky News, Javid claimed: > Homelessness reached its peak in 2008… since then it’s down by almost a half… but it’s Labour that was responsible for the massive rise in homelessness But this is a… → Read More

The hidden passage in the Tory manifesto that puts Boris Johnson 'above the rule of law'
A passage buried in the Conservative manifesto has been causing a lot of concern. Particularly after Labour peer Lord Falconer discussed the matter on BBC Newsnight and suggested that it could put Boris Johnson above the rule of law if the Conservatives win. “Won’t be restrained by the courts” The manifesto itself essentially needs decoding. It reads: > We will ensure that judicial review is… → Read More
UK resident flabbergasted at how much Donald Trump’s America wants to charge you to have a baby
A reporter for Joe has been confronting UK residents with the cost of healthcare services and products in the US.

Ex-chief prosecutor says Boris Johnson is 'lying to us' about the London attack

The corporate media also seems to be falsely suggesting that Corbyn wants to release terrorists early from prison. But his answer on Sky‘s… → Read More
That's it. Google is done with the Tories' fake news campaign.
The Conservatives are running such a rampant fake news campaign that Google is now done with it. The tech giant has banned eight separate Tory party online adverts. They only have lies?

The BBC is ignoring David Attenborough's extraordinary takedown of Boris Johnson

The facts suggest the Lib Dems are secretly provoking a Tory hard Brexit
The Liberal Democrats present themselves as a progressive party of Remain.

Dozens of celebrities come out for Jeremy Corbyn, but the UK media looks the other way
Dozens of celebrities just endorsed Jeremy Corbyn. But the UK media has looked the other way. Zero major outlets have covered the story at the time of writing.

Jo Swinson's tree planting 'promise' proves she's treating climate breakdown as a joke
Jo Swinson and the Lib Dems appear to be treating climate catastrophe as a joke. The party’s new policy to plant 60m trees would only offset the UK’s recent annual net emissions by less than 0.5%. And their other policies on the climate won’t really do much to transform society either. Treesus Christ… Planting trees is important. But it’s clearly nowhere near enough. And given the Conservative… → Read More

A Lib Dem MP is using the Grenfell tragedy to spread lies about Labour
Lib Dem MP Sam Gyimah, who was a Conservative minister in December 2018, is essentially using the Grenfell tragedy to spread lies about Labour. “Blame game” Gyimah is trying to blame an anti-austerity Labour Party for the fire, particularly local MP Emma Dent-Coad, who was elected days before the fire: > Emma Dent Coad was on the council [before becoming an MP] and was part of all the… → Read More
