So Turness and Davie out but Gibb and Shah remain. Fear for the BBC because the right wing ideologues are trying to capture it entirely

Trevor Philips, "Prime Minister Keir Starmer is coming back from #COP30 having refused to put money into the tropical forest fund on the grounds that we can't afford it. He's right, isn't he?"

Zack Polanski, "No, it's outrageous. When it comes to climate, we have to look at the cost of inaction"

Trevor Philips, "You don't want a rise in income tax?"

Zack Polanski, "No, people are tired and exhausted"

"How can you take from the hardest working people with extra tax, while allowing multimillionaires and billionaires to continue to not paying CGT?"

Trevor Philips, "What is the implication of the white poppy?"

Zack Polanski, "The white poppy began after WWI, mainly from women's groups, who talked about peace and antifascism"

"So on the same day we remember the fallen, it's also about looking to the future and saying, we want a world of peace"

Noem wanted to buy Spirit Airlines planes - except the airline didn’t own them DHS looked at buying the planes from Spirit Airlines, according to a report

Kristi Noem ordered ICE to purchase ten Spirit Airlines jets for deportations. Two problems: Spirit doesn’t own the planes, and they don’t have engines. Has there ever been a more incompetent administration?

The wrongful release of prisoners happened 800 times under the Tories.

The media bias and lack of reference to any past is just hideous.

Article says β€˜this is "absolutely the most important year" to get vaccinated. However, this year's vaccine is not a perfect match to the mutated virus. The biggest benefits are lessening the severity of the disease rather than stopping you getting ill or slowing the spread of the virus.’

Will a new mutated flu strain cause a rough winter? Leading flu experts say they will not be surprised if this year's is the worst flu season for a decade.

'A seasonal flu virus suddenly mutated in the summer; it appears to evade some of our immunity; has kick-started a flu season more than a month early and is a type of flu that history suggests is more severe.'
Get the jab!

UK seeks inspiration from Denmark to shake up immigration system Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is taking cues from some of the toughest migration laws in Europe.

'Shabana Mahmood will model some of her new measures on the Danish system - seen as one of the toughest in Europe. Officials have been looking at Denmark's tighter rules on family reunion and restricting most refugees to a temporary stay in the country.'

From the UK, I used to admire the US constitution. Now I think that if efficient governance can be blocked by a single benighted cultist like Mike Johnson, it's just damn silly.😒

The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough.

When you're a sociopath and get angry that someone else's medical emergency, just four feet away, drew focus from your gloating and you forget which lie you were on.

In the UK, jury deliberations are strictly confidential. Is that not the case in the USA? And if it is the case, why are you seeking to breach it?
