In 1970 the Government owned Energy, it owned Water, it owned Rail, it owned Mail, it owned Steel, it owned Shipbuilding, it owned Oil and Gas.

There was a 100% tax on these industries profits.

Now many of them pay 0% tax.

That is where all the money has gone.

Right: PM of Spain, Pedro Sรกnchez, "Yes, my country has offered a path to regulate half a million undocumented migrants"

"This is the path we choose. Dignity, community and justice"

How hard can it be to give these national heroes an actual date for the meeting you promised on BBCBreakfast four months ago?

You shook their hands in opposition, I wonโ€™t let you shake them off now

This is the moment. The Gorton and Denton by-election is a battle for the soul of our country โ€” community power versus billionaire backers, hate versus hope.

I received a letter over the weekend telling me HMRC had set up a self assessment record for me. They suggested I log on and see if I need to complete a return. Turns out I do. But if I'd not received this letter, one week before the deadline, I wouldn't have known and could conceivably been fined.

Reform byelection candidate refuses to disown claim that people born in UK not necessarily British Matthew Goodwin, who is standing in Gorton and Denton, said UK-born people from minority ethnic backgrounds were not always British

44% of the population of Denton and Gorton are ethnic minority, the majority of them born in the UK.

Reform's candidate says those people aren't British and are liable for deportation.

It's a bold electoral strategy: vote for me and I'll throw you into the sea.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Braverman says she's been "politically homeless" for over 2 years, which means she was reelected in 2024 as an MP for a party she didn't want to be a member of.

And she says Tories "failed Britain [on] Brexit and immigration". She was Brexit minister and Home Secretary. Twice.

But "vote for me!"

Mahmood should get off her arse and sort out historic injustices like these before going on a modern crusade to eg 'fix' the police.

She's not wrong. ICE are out of control. The people in control are lying when the rest of the world can see what happened with Alex Pretti. I wouldn't go there if you paid me.

One thing that shows you how bad ICEโ€™s tactics are โ€” ACTUAL cops are among the most vocal and biting in criticizing them.

If today you're thinking, I want a party that's:

- rising in the polls
- focused on tackling the cost of living
- and genuinely democratic
