Team Miles for MND Help Team Miles for MND raise money to support My Name'5 Doddie Foundation

My cousin Charlotte and her friends are cycling hundreds of miles across Scotland, for the Doddie Triple Crown, raising money for research and support for MND patients.

If you could help at all, donating or sharing this link, they - and I - would be so grateful.

I'm delighted with my heat pump.

But my experience getting it installed taught me what’s been stopping many more people from getting one (so far).

I wrote for @politicshome.bsky.social on the hurdles that government needs to think about as it implements the Warm Homes Plan. 👇

Walk, cycle, catch the bus, tube or overground and avoid driving if you possibly can!

This will help people with asthma or other lung and heart conditions to get on with their days safely.

This Is A Great Green Achievement!!

It’s all connected.

This afternoon, around 2:50 PM, I’ll take to the Senate Floor to unpack some of the numerous, well-documented connections between these parties.

I hope you’ll tune in.

ICE taking steps to close detention center at Fort Bliss, document shows Preparations to shutter Camp East Montana in El Paso come less than eight months after facility’s opening, according to an internal ICE document.

This ICE detention center is the largest in the country and has become notorious for rampant physical abuse, medical neglect, and death.

We won't let up the pressure until it's shut down for good.

Next time someone asks you to sum up MAGA in 30 seconds or less, show them this clip of Andrew Tate explaining why he doesn't read books.

They say, "Iran is striking all the countries around it."

Iran is striking all the US military bases in the countries all around it.

at a certain point we need to talk about how peter mandelson was the guy who vetted all of labour's new 2024 mps.

US figures from 2025 state there are 11,524 US military personnel in Britain — with the third highest US air force number in the world outside the US.

The UK govt refuses to say where they all are. These 24 sites are likely among the locations.

Hmm. Right wing parties have 48%.

The work of Wes Streeting

It is absolutely heart breaking watching years of relationship building, interface and quality monitoring NHS work just recklessly binned (along with many of the staff) by this government for no good reason.

NEW: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the United States has asked Ukraine for help intercepting Iranian-made Shahed drones, citing Ukraine’s battlefield expertise. Zelenskyy said any assistance will come only if it does not weaken Ukraine’s own defenses.

I haven't been to the gym in months. My joints have stopped hurting and I've had so much more time to do meaningful things.

Trump is launching us into what could be another costly and deadly forever war.Meanwhile, he and Republicans are making How We Actually Pay for War and Billionaire Tax Cuts

At more than $5 billion and counting, the cost of Operation Epic Fury so far could cover SNAP benefits for more than 2 million Americans.

But instead of feeding hungry people at home, we're cutting food stamps in order to lower taxes for the rich and boost military spending to record levels.

Sweden’s central bank, Sveriges Riksbank, has advised people to keep 1,000 kronor ($110) in cash at home, enough for a week of essentials like food and medicine in case of war, cyberattacks, or other crises. (Bloomberg)

These are the scenes at Mercure Nottingham City Centre Hotel. Sickening use of deadly bird netting that ends up with birds trapped and starving to death. Police have been contacted.

PFAS “forever chemicals” are in sportswear — and a lot of clothing worn by children, including school uniforms.

Public concern is growing fast. The government must act far more quickly to tackle PFAS contamination.

The Right have been going after the rising 'welfare bill' in recent weeks, mostly missing the fact that over half of it is pensions. Yes folks, Nanny & Grandad are apparently jobless scroungers.

And anyway, why are we paying out more in pensions as the number of old people grows? A mystery.

Reform UK has authored a Welsh policy to place a so-called ‘free speech duty’ on universities it doesn’t like, giving ministers the powers to impose financial penalties or to withdraw financial support for universities.

They want to control learning.

Reform dare to pretend they are an anti-establishment party. But in truth they are the party of crony corporate capitalism and the elites funded by such people to look after their own interests. Latest figures from the Electoral Commission on political party donations.

This is psychotic behavior by Sheehy. My goodness

A little reported fact is that the Iranian frigate destroyed 2000 miles from the combat zone was carrying ZERO AMMUNITION (a condition of the exercise it was invited to participate in).

The ship was, by any definition, defenceless.

Much like the 80+ sailors left to drown.

Infamy.

If you are visiting glorious Brighton on this sunny day (as you definitely should), please be aware that at Churchill Square this van is live scanning everyone’s faces and making the city look more like a police state than the gorgeous day out it is!

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

There's no reason for Iran to attack NATO nation Turkey—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

There's no reason for Iran to attack a UK base in Cyprus—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

Now Azerbaijan has been attacked. Iran denies involvement.

I think this is Israel.

Looks like The Express wrote the headline before the conference happened.

It’s clear now that they were due to announce someone like Kate Hoey, and it didn’t happen, leaving them with a defector that no one knows.

It’s embarrassing.

NOPE
