Agree. When kids where at this age the dressing up for world book day nearly pushed me over the edge
Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...
I would happily pay more council tax if my council replied to imbeciles in this way.
The other week, a report came out from the UK intelligence agencies, warning that biodiversity and ecosystem collapse, is a serious threat to UK national security in the hear future. They are talking about a global situation, not just the UK.

The Epstein Files tell a horrific and heavy story of abuse and corruption. But power protects itself through the expectation that we will feel paralysed by the sense of powerlessness.
Their release is a seminal moment.
That's why our new Byline Times print edition delves into the deeper story 👇
NHS deal with AI firm Palantir called into question after officials’ concerns revealed
In 2025 briefing to Wes Streeting, officials warned reputation of tech firm behind US ICE operations would hinder rollout of data system in UK

“The combined tuition fees of the entire Question Time panel would not cover my cost for 1 year of uni. Is that fair?”
Oli Dugmore
It’s absolutely NOT fair. This outrageous scandal must end
"Fossil fuel, meat + livestock producers have been funding far-right movements to stifle environmental protection measures that would reduce their profits. Such funding is a major driver of the fascistic politics that we now witness in the US."
Explains *so much* going on in the world right now.
Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

Remember the Soviet joke about a man who always goes to look at the papers but never buys one. The news agent asks him what he's looking for and he says, "An obituary" and the news agent points out that they're always in the back section. "This one won't be".
What Carney said about NATO & trade was hugely important, but it’s what he said about truth that’s even more so.
His choice of Vaclav Havel was not accidental. His concept of ‘living in truth’ is an essential guide to this moment

NEW: Carney nails it. We have to stop pretending.
Read this to understand the deep & dark hinterland behind the speech & why Vaclav Havel’s concept of ‘living in truth’ is the guide we need right now

Yeah. They’re brave Iranian freedom fighters until they reach Dover and then they magically turn into sponging asylum seekers.
