Cambridgeshire train stabbings: β€˜heroic’ LNER staff member suffered β€˜life-threatening injuries’ British Transport Police say rail staff member was recorded on CCTV intervening in attempt to stop attacker

"Having viewed the CCTV from the train, the actions of the member of rail staff were nothing short of heroic and undoubtedly saved people’s lives.”

London tube drivers are likely to have a suicide jumper ever 10 years. Can we stop bitching about rail and train staff n drivers' pay n conditions!!!

Green party surging as Polanski’s social media strategy w... Green Party membership has more than doubled, driven in part by its platform messaging on apps like TikTok

"Polanski has blended anger with hope.

β€œHope is much more difficult to sell than outrage, but he’s finding a way to do it that connects with people.”

Let's make hope normal again!

I don't understand how the majority of people agree that Israel committed genocide but Zionists are still welcome everywhere (like on this app). After the Holocaust people at least pretended for a few years that Nazi were not welcome

Newsom: "This is a historically unpopular president. His policies are even more unpopular than him. In every core category he's underwater. He who promised to make us healthier & wealthier & we're poorer and sicker ... He knows he's lose midterms so he's trying to rig it before 1 vote is cast"

Newsom: "He is not screwing around. He's changing the rules. He's rigging the game because he knows he'll lose if all things are equal. He did not expect California to fight fire with fire."

Reform UK, the Russian spy and rolls of Kremlin cash: the inside story of Nathan Gill How did a former Mormon bishop end up pleading guilty to taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia in the European parliament?

I knew Gill and Farage and the rest of the UKIP crew in the European Parliament

They were crooks and shysters to a man

They repeated Putin talking points and appeared on Russia Today

UKIP then and Reform now are both a threat to our democracy

Selma van de Perre, Dutch Jew Who Resisted Nazis, Dies at 103

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more β€œefficient.”

It’s who our government is for.

Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires β€” or for the rest of us?

People who force their religion on others will force their politics on others. It’s why we separate church from state.

The cosy set-up at Westminster is a con.

The Tories, Labour & Farage’s Reform UK are all part of the same tired machine - recycled faces & failures.

There is hope though.

Scotland & Wales have real alternatives and maybe there’s a lifeline for England with the Green Party of England and Wales.

It's been happening with most of America's presidents for the whole of my life 76 years.
The children go to war and come home in body bags
Why do you put up with it?
America is not the policeman of the world

Jeremy Vine, "Andrew Windsor has been buried alive.. They want him humiliated"

No he hasn't. He was accused of raping a child three times and for that:

➑️ Victim received £12 million
➑️ Andrew is moving from one big house to another
➑️ Andrew getting 6 figure £ from the King

Carillion
In 2018, Carillion collapsed. The UK’s second largest construction firm, it had a network of PFI contracts worth billions.
Prof Iqbal Khadaroo and lecturer Ekililu Salifu – wrote at the the time: β€œThe NHS, defence, education, energy, and prisons have all been left exposed by its collapse.”

Second class England

Under 21s don't get full minimum wage; pay rent, food, groceries, transport, tax, NIC at full rate.

Scotland: 5- 22yr olds and over 60 get free bus travel, England at 66 rising to 67.

No uni fees, prescription charges in Scotland.

THE BREXIT BILL WE FORGOT!

Tenants of Labour MP landlord claim flats have ants and black mould Jas Athwal rents 15 apartments but occupants in Ilford say they had to regularly clean their bathroom ceilings to remove fungal growth

Starmer begins #PMQs lambasting "rogue landlords" and evoking the memory of Iwaab Ishak, the toddler who died because of black mould where he lived.

A reminder of the first scandal of the Starmer premiership, that broke the day after the 2024 election.

Anthony Andrews

It’s so much deeper than anyone understands. Here is Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine’s father with Prince Charles and Prince William in the early 80s. Robert was outed as a Mossad/KGB double agent and mysteriously died off his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine a week later.

Says everything about the British monarchy that they only strip Andrew of his titles and admit Virginia Guiffre was telling the truth when the poor woman is dead. Britain's most rotten institution, always was, always will be.
