Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. “Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

Get ready for fracking, Reform UK tells energy firms The party is serious about going after shale gas - but critics argue it's too difficult and costly.

Reform UK voted against worker rights in parliament, favoured bad bosses.

Now it supports fracking which can cause earthquakes and negative environmental impacts.

Companies will make vast profits, people will pick up the tab. Many homes would be uninsurable. Who would buy affected houses?

Just finished the Nicola autobiography. Fascinating insight into the life of one of Europe’s best known politicians. Repeated focus on the almost crippling shyness & imposter syndrome insecurities which make her ascent all the more remarkable.

Full on Right Wing agenda from the Telegraph..... We'll, they would, wouldn't they... 🤔

Not only is today’s employment report uniquely bad, but revisions to the prior months show that, on average, we have seen 35k net new jobs created for the last 3 months:

JAN: +111K
FEB: +102K
MAR: +120K
APR: +158K
MAY: +19K
JUN: +14K
JUL: +73K

No way to put lipstick on this pig.

Remember when 'Better Together' asserted only a No vote would keep Scotland in the EU? When a No vote would mean lower prices? Well, the truth is out, the WM govt admits that England's Brexit has led to inflationary price rises. The return of Scottish sovereignty is urgent.

It's fkn imperative mate

Miriam Margolyes: I am shocked, disgusted and dazed by Labour's complicity in Gaza Miriam Margolyes has said she is "shocked, disgusted and dazed" by the Labour Government's complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza.

A little whisper at the back of my mind is suggesting (and has historically done) that WM will not be too happy at Scotland having a direct route to the EU and therefore not inclined to expedite anything within their gift. Can't think why 🤔

Keir Starmer Has Sparked A Furious Backlash By Suspending 4 Left-Wing MPs - And No.10 Are Delighted The PM has set a test of strength he dare not lose.
