More intellectual Incongruency - Same people who are raging about protesting farmers being stopped by police from blocking roads in London are the same people who say stop oil protestors should be locked up for blocking roads.

Same people who are raging about proposals to get rid of jury trials(which would be wrong) because they're "an essential part of our freedom and protection form the state" are the same people who want to take UK out of ECHR and rip up the Human Rights Act - intelelctual incongruency.

The Senedd election in 2026 comes against the backdrop of a deepening housing emergency in Wales,

That is why our manifesto calls for housing to be a foundation mission of government to ensure everyone in Wales can access a safe, suitable and affordable home.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666 times more than the company's median employee in 2024.

Worth thinking about before you buy your next caramel spiced latte.

But Trump/Farage will have you beleive that the wealth gap is due to immigration.

Some are still falling for the grift!

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
