Climate change: an expensive myth or a question of survival? Calls to end decarbonisation efforts threaten to undermine a thriving economic sector and our chance of a safer planet

What’s more expensive: investing in renewables, or dealing with the £38 trillion annual cost of unchecked climate damage?

Reform-led Lancashire County Council is closing a number of care homes with a direct impact on my constituents.

The consultation on the proposal is still not finalised but I have heard from a number of constituents that family members have been already asked to make arrangements to leave.

The worst perpetrators of this behaviour, in the UK anyway, are not usually church attending or practising Christians. They tend to be the ‘anti woke’ brigade, believe conspiracies & believe everything is done to ‘please minorities’. They may say they are Christian but only because they are white

Yep. Then we get a couple of months off and it’s Easter rage season. Chocolate eggs must be deemed Easter and any mention of the word halal is devil talk & proof of Islam taking over .. certainly in the UK anyway 😂

😂👏

Fun fact, the ONLY people that have ever “banned Christmas” were puritanical Christians who banned it between 1659 to 1681.

It really is.

Evergreen trees - a great example of ‘cancel Christmas rage’

It’s already in full swing 🙄

They are so sensitive

When power is untouchable: the legal abyss facing Harrods survivors Survivors of abuse connected to Mohamed Al Fayed’s Harrods empire are discovering what “no one is above the law” really means

An awful and all to familiar story

More than 400 women & girls were abused & exploited in Mohamed Al Fayed’s Harrods enterprise. This author is one of them

Patterns of sexual exploitation - range of associates, affiliates & assets from Ritz Paris to private jets, yachts & global residences

We're getting there!

We do what we do on a shoestring - and it's enough to stake a flag in the ground alongside the billionaire-owned press.

But we're also growing this new model with your help. Everything that you chip in now is part of that development. Thank you --> chuffed.org/project/byli...

So Donald Trump is now saying that Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files; therefore, we should assume any incriminating references or evidence to him or any other powerful men who kiss his ring have been removed.

Yorkshire Water: it’s time to end the rip-off Handing the company back to local people would return both control and value to those who need it most

"Yorkshire Water was privatised in 1989 under the Water Act, launched debt-free and promoted as the start of a new, efficient era.

Today, the company carries almost £7bn in debt...."

What a difference.

When they come for one minority, they come for us all. Whether it’s Muslims, Jews, asylum seekers, migrants, the LGBTQI community or women. We must stand in solidarity.

There needs to be zero tolerance for all hate and division

We certainly aren’t all like this, but it’s no wonder Brits have a terrible reputation when abroad.

The exceptionalism and ignorance is enraging

In this new Age of Empires, why UK must choose Europe over isolation Most of the UK’s economic problems since Brexit would have been avoided if it had stayed in the European Single Market and Customs Union and it’s time to move closer to the EU, writes former Belgian P...

He’s right!

Most of the UK’s economic problems since Brexit would have been avoided if it had stayed in the European Single Market and Customs Union and it’s time to move closer to the EU, writes former Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt

Its utterly abhorrent.

I cannot believe UK Labour are floating this. It’s utterly abhorrent. The depths they are willing to sink to is sickening

A centre left, progressive party does not act like this.

They are morphing like the Tories did into something grotesque to appease the unappeasable

UK scores Brexit win as EU fast-tracks electricity trading talks The breakthrough comes after days of wrangling in Brussels over the extent to which London might be expected to pay for access to the EU’s single market.

UK economic growth slows to 0.1% in final figures before Budget Car production fell sharply after the summer's Jaguar Land Rover cyber attack; meanwhile Rachel Reeves says "there's more to do to build an economy that works".

The country's economy has seen slower than expected growth of 0.1%, and Chancellor Rachel Reeves has said there's "more to do to build an economy that works". Perhaps we could start by working more with the EU?

Isn't it just.

Brexiters - Project fear they said

We don’t mind being poorer they said

Now they blame migrants and asylum seekers for the mess they made

The ‘Brexit effect’ is only getting worse

Fake news: the BBC, Trump and the fight for impartiality "We should be honest: the BBC will not report on Trump freely now. It won’t need to be told not to"

We seem engulfed by a kind of hysterical need; an obsession to push every question to its extremes. Nuance has not simply faded; it has been drowned out by a full-throated embrace of “black & white” thinking, often without even the faintest consideration of the bigger picture

The farming sector has been one of the most affected since Brexit. Farmers are experiencing a loss of profit after a drop in subsidies after we left the EU. It’s essential that we work with Europe to save British farming.

Majority of people not proud of post-Brexit Britain, new survey reveals Attitudes poll also suggests people increasingly believe UK is divided, that ‘culture wars’ exist and life was better in past

The aftermath of Brexit has divided the nation - a reminder that isolation comes at a cost. It's evident that cooperation with our European neighbours is the way forward.
