I often think this, my mum had an address book because their generation didn’t love flat every 10min like our generation

Am wondering if all of those suddenly deciding they’re against communities living “parallel lives” might reconsider their support of religious schools? Or indeed private ones?

Hate seeks to divide us. But hope endures when we stand together. Our solidarity is with the Jewish community today. #britainstandstogether

There is a key moral distinction between immigration policy on new arrivals, no matter how draconian, and on people who have already been granted status, on set conditions. It is about being a country that keeps its word. If we're not that, we might as well fucking give up now.

A reminder to sign this and help stop the stupid and expensive ID card mistake.

We don't have the money to end child poverty, but a digital ID card to try and appease the far right, up pops the magic money tree.

I think there are reasonable arguments for the cards for most people to make it easier to get services etc. (And there are counter-arguments, of course.) But the idea that it controls/regularises immigration and the black economy is bollocks.

3. ⁠this is not the moment for an incredibly expensive increase in state surveillance infrastructure to be run for profit by private tech firms just before Labour ushers in an (even more) authoritarian right wing government.

FIX THE GODDAMN COST OF LIVING INSTEAD YOU FREAKS.

"They work for Putin, we work for you"

The line is LITERALLY right there

Reminder that Kim Darroch was forced to resign as UK ambassador in Washington for telegrams being leaked that showed he was doing his job by providing his honest views but embarrassed the government.

It’s inconceivably absurd to consider Mandelson’s position *more* tenable than Darroch’s was.

Who will they blame whey they deport the foreigners but the country is still broken?

Might it be you?

Will this mean they can’t track Santa anymore?!

More students head back to class without one crucial thing: their phones This back to school season, more districts than ever have cell phone bans in place. Teachers and legislators alike say the restrictions help kids focus in class.

Great Yarmouth to Host Britain’s Biggest White Power Concert in Years – HOPE not hate Great Yarmouth is set to host the largest white power music gig held in the UK for at least 10 years, HOPE not hate can...

Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

Five arrested after masked men try to enter west London asylum hotel Two anti-asylum groups marched to Crowne Plaza before attempting to enter building at rear, Met police say

People’s homes are being stormed by far-right groups. The govt. Is saying nothing about how violence like this will not be tolerated. Where is Starmer’s “law and order” now? They’ve no control and we are moments away from someone being killed. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The deadline to make your submission to Ofgem is this Friday.

Don't let the man who switched off Starlink in Ukraine, helping Putin, have the keys to switch off your electricity here in the UK.

Glasgow airport is underrated, cheap parking is available very close, it’s small so you get through quickly and the dining options are improving all the time. Rotterdam in the old days was glorious, my dad used to drive up to the plane and drop me off at the stairs

I agree with this in timing but boy does it feel on cheap easy eating options also why doesn’t it have a lounge?

A proper greasy spoon breakfast doesn’t do ramekins - beans dropped on plate to mix with the grease of the fried bread - as it should be!

I disagree. Scotland is a very congenial place to live. There are a few intolerable culture war arseholes who grate on the nerves, but then this country has always been plagued by midges

Good luck to all the P1s and their care givers starting school today in Scotland

Something is going on with wasps in the Central Belt in Scotland - went to minor injuries today with an infected wasp sting, 2 other people in with same issue. Everyone I have told says they know someone who has been stung by a wasp in last week or so

In the Netherlands you get these great beach bars, right on the sand (good drinks, great food) and loads of them have play areas right on the sand immediately by the chairs and tables for adults

Very common in Spain - always love going there with my 4yr old for that reason

The threat to our society is not from asylum seekers in small boats. It’s from politicians and media cynically whipping up fear and prejudice, labelling them all as criminals, inciting hatred against people for where and what they’ve fled from.
It must stop. For all our sakes. It’s deeply sinister.

I often think about this, there are no movies or dramas about the pandemic - like there was almost no literature written about the Spanish flu. We can’t deal with what happened until we give ourselves avenues to process it like books, movies etc

Anyone who belongs to any minority group needs to be aware that what is being done to trans people can and will be done to them. In a decade we have been stripped of our rights to exist in public spaces by a press campaign and a well funded lobby.

My gripe is restaurants that don’t sell lager, I don’t like craft beer, I don’t like IPA - please just sell me a Tenents for £3 - I know it’s not ‘good’ or fancy but it’s fine and it’s cheap

I’m sure the company are paying loads of money to the council for this and that’s great but I’m truly fed up of being stuck in so much traffic

Someone should ask her whether she thinks a child cheating in a school exam is committing a worse crime than an adult hacking the computer of a political rival
