We can’t let the Tories sabotage this once-in-a-generation chance to reshape the world of work | Angela Rayner The employment rights bill is in the Commons today. As Zohran Mamdani’s victory shows, people are desperate for policies that actually improve lives, says Labour MP Angela Rayner

Would a VAT decrease be passed on to consumers? Seems unlikely by the likes of the owners of say British Gas.

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution.

The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧡

Train company LNER 'extremely proud' of rail worker in critical condition after mass stabbing as family call him 'hero' The "extraordinary bravery" of the LNER worker who intervened during the train mass stabbing attack on Saturday has been hailed by his company.

I’m sure Matt Goodwin will be along shortly to tell us all whether LNER Customer Service Host Samir Zitouni counts as British or not. news.sky.com/story/train-...

The first thing Yaxley-Lennon did on leaving court was to thank Elon Musk for funding his legal costs.

That's Elon Musk who has repeatedly called for civil war in the UK.

As of typing this - all of the major politicians and platforms maintain a presence on X and it is time for them all to leave.

Our subs are a lot stronger than this time last year but given his record we should expect so much more from Norburn. Palmer and Robbo miles ahead of him.

The inescapable fact is the institution of the Royal Family - the idea of hereditary monarchy and privilege - enabled Andrew's offending and his escaping justice.

Sending him off the country doesn't redeem this rotten, archaic institution or its members who covered for him.
