I know! One estimate suggests that the moon landing conspiracy would have to involve some 400,000 people. It's just not possible for that many people to keep quiet! ✌️

And yet the article shows the papers social media links including X - maybe they should follow their own advice first?!

Brexit impact on UK economy 'negative for foreseeable future,' Bank of England chief says The bank's governor, Andrew Bailey, said for nearly a decade he had been careful to "take no position on Brexit" but when asked directly about its impact on economic growth he "had to answer that ques...

And given we now have budget deficit is then perhaps Starmer needs to acknowledge Brexit has contributed to a dimmer economic outlook then had we had no Brexit

BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country

BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

This, just replayed it!

For fucks sake, look back at your own history - you really don't need to go that far back - and think again!

Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers.

Share this and speak up for your freedoms.

The populist right wants to remake the UK in the image of Dubai. We should all be careful what they wish for | Jonathan Liew Politicians and influencers eulogise the emirate as a place of cleanliness, convenience and low crime. The truth is far darker, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew

Reform’s immigration plan falls apart on hard contact with evidence, economics and any form of engaged brain. Never be afraid to stand up for this country and its decency and future by giving them short shrift.

Just to be clear:
- Paracetamol does not cause autism.
- Sadiq Khan is not introducing Sharia law in the UK
- We do not have a massive free speech problem here.
- Britain is not on the verge of civil war.
These are not controversial subjects or contested, they're just not true.

I’m so sick of seeing Farage and co on TV all the bloody time. They now know that if thy hold a press conference on any day ending in a ‘y’, they will be given endless coverage and broadcasting hours. All this for a party that could fit all of its MPs into a hatchback car.

This xenophobic nonsense illustrates why the government's proposals to restrict settlement rights is not only wrong but politically self-defeating.

Has just encouraged Reform to become even more extreme.

The Thames Ferrymen Stand at Bankside today and you’ll be jostled by tourists photographing the Tate, couples queuing for the Globe, and joggers with expensive earbuds who, if they could, would probably jog straight across the river. What almost no one remembers is that for centuries, the only way to cross at this stretch of the Thames was by boat. Before bridges were thrown like steel ribbons over the water, there were the ferrymen — tough, weather-chiselled men with hands as knotted as their ropes, ferrying Londoners across the tide.
