X - Marks the Spot: Russiaโ€™s Second Front Peter Jukes looks at the mounting evidence that Elon Musk is using his social media platform as a vector to attack Ukraine and support Putinโ€™s murderous invasion

Musk has transformed one of the worldโ€™s largest social media sites and source of news into an attack platform to assist a hostile foreign power during the biggest and bloodiest war in Europe since World War Two.

The gov should all get out of X ( as everyone else tbh), the fact that Starmer is still there is incomprehensible.

Farage not suspending the whip & zero comment by him/senior Reform figures over Sarah Pochinโ€™s abhorrent racist comments yesterday speaks volumes..

UK campaigners launch bill to give nature legal rights Private memberโ€™s bill backed by Chris Packham and Natalie Bennett would impose a duty of care on government and business

UK NATURE'S RIGHTS BILL LAUNCHED IN PARLIAMENT TODAY

The bill reclassifies nature as a SUBJECT of law, with legal personhood.

It recognises that neither humans or economies can exist without nature.

This profound but positive disruption is needed NOW.

The great British public don't help either as statistics show that many GP & A&E visits are unnecessary because a simple visit to the chemist was all that was required. One estimate is that 40% of A&E visits are preventable.

The lack of funding & resources in social care not only creates a bottleneck but also causes some people to end up in hospital when homecare would have been adequate. The collapse in primary care through GPs is also adding unnecessarily to hospital pressure.

Hi there, The Bear. You are right. This is helping the situation but not solving the problem. More resources have also been put into training but these individuals are then finding there are no places. Not that the places don't exist on paper but they are unfunded to pay for outsourced activities!

Do we need luxury flats or more social housing? Building social housing must be a priority for this government, rather than expensive luxury housing for the rental market

Don't be silly. That would be the action of a socialist leaning gov't. This gov't has even reduced the requirement for affordable housing. It has removed environmental constraints. This gov't supports profiteering and bulldozing the countryside. ๐Ÿคฆ

Off the top of my head, there have been four egregious examples of weapons grade public racism in the last couple of weeks - Jenrick; the Express hack; Captain Concrete & the Reform woman. The way they are treated by employers, punters & wider media, will directly influence how much more we see.

If you can spare any money at all, please donate to your local food bank. Our federal workers shouldn't have to depend on charity, but for now it's that or starve. We have to take care of each other.

"We've undeclared the climate crisis, which will free us up further down the line to make many more savings when we start to unpick all the net zero targets that have been sort of baked into the constitution. Then we can save a lot more money in the long term."

CIr Kemkaran said she had appointed an internal Department of Local Government Efficiency or "Doge team" which was scrutinising each Cabinet member on what savings could be made.

Reform has โ€œundeclared the climate crisisโ€ to try to find savings.
Wow. If only weโ€™d known it was that easy. Donโ€™t like it? Just โ€œundeclareโ€ it. Simples.

The thought of clowns like this in government is just beyond anything remotely sane. Letโ€™s not go there.

Reformโ€™s Sarah Pochin: Adverts full of black people โ€˜drive me madโ€™ Labour called on Reform UK to distance itself from the MPโ€™s comments.

Iโ€™m old enough to remember when an MP saying something so abhorrent would have quickly led to them being fired by their Party or forced to resign..

From a Daily Express journalist calling for my deportation to a Reform MP saying it โ€œdrives her mad to see adverts full of black and Asian peopleโ€, the mask has truly slipped.

This poisonous politics fuels far-right violence against minorities and migrants. We all must unite against it.
