โ€˜Absolute hellโ€™: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeareโ€™s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Public ownership of water is the only way to deliver security, efficiency, investment and value for money 37 years of privatisation has been a disaster

England's water companies promise ยฃ104bn investment by 2030.

Shareholders won't pay, customers will. Shareholders will own resulting assets, income streams.

Customers already paid, companies handed ยฃ85bn dividend to shareholders.

Union founder slams private equity milking foster care for profit Private equity firms, milking the foster care sector dry, have doubled the cost of local placements โ€” meanwhile, UK taxpayers foot the bill

Union founder slams private equity milking UK foster care for profit.

Privatised foster placements can cost double the local authority placing.

Successive govts have pushed privatisation.

It's time #UKLabour actually got a grip on the #UKPostOffice, scandal & the failed #FujitsuHorizon system, & made them PAY UP!

It is beyond belief that after so many years, so many miscarriages of justice, so many broken lives, that the Post Office is still jerking everyone around.

Why are four million children still going hungry in the UK in 2026? Hunger in the UK is the scourge that ceases to abate. It's time to build a road map to meaningful and lasting change.

UK child poverty up 34% in a decade.

Families can't afford the cost of food, rent, childcare, heating, essentials.

72% of poor children live in working families.

Secure jobs, universal basic income/services, curbs on profiteering, free school meals would help.

Must eradicate parental poverty.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For โ€˜doomsayersโ€™ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

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.

'Our children are next' fear Kenyans as drought wipes out livestock In drought-hit northeastern Kenya, villagers have been forced to drag their dead livestock to distant fields for burning to keep the stench of death and scavenging hyenas away from their homes.

Severe drought means children are dangerously malnourished in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia - but Western governments have cut food aid supplies.
