In the bad old days I would take my work laptop on family holidays and wait until the kids and wife went to bed - then work for 4/5 hrs. Several times I flew back to London for meetings before returning next day. Thankfully those bosses, and that job, are now long gone.

Free breakfast clubs are boosting attendance and improving behavior in some schools according to head teachers. There is no doubting this policy has been a huge success for Labour in its first year in government

The right has gone absolutely nuts. The Tory party is chewed up with its brexity failure and the prejudice ticket that once gave it power. Reform’s rise from their ashes is the toxic aftermath. And the media dance along like it’s all so exciting, rather than a goddam nightmare for us all.

Enter Nige’s fantasy UK, where crims operate with impunity and only the lucky get out alive | John Crace Don’t believe the stats that show violent crime is going down, says Farage: just turn the graphs the other way up and use your own data

Dont forget the tories were still bleating about the chancellor’s ‘nothing left’ letter just before the election. 14 years after!!

You don’t know me. I didnt vote Labour, so wind in your petty insults please. It all affects me!

I am well aware of how the budgeting system works in the UK.

It is obvious to see that the current govt is the only option and i want it to succeed. No other parties are viable and neither is yesterdays man Corbyn.

On one hand he’s saying his councillors need civil engineers to help understand flooding, then denying the call of thousands of climate scientists on climate change.

I dont have to do the details when there are many independent organisations that do

As i said before its a longer term plan.

I suspect you would not agree with anything i say, anyway. But hey ho, you’re stuck with Starmer for another 4 years.

I mean Labour could do this but Rachel Reeves is just dying to approve new drllling licences

That assumes a certain amount of trust tory handling of the status, risk profile etc of the whole debacle. It was absolutely correct to hold position and get a report (Rimmer) completed first. I have absolutely no issue with the Labour handling of this.

The FT needs to get its head around wealth, and the need to tax it The Financial Times published an editorial yesterday which revealed more about the priorities of the economic establishment than it probably intended. The FT editorial team was worrying, at considerab...

The FT has published an editorial attacking taxes on the wealthy, and saying we must keep those threatening to leave, come what may. They're horribly wrong. If pandering to tax abuse is the price of keeping the wealthy, we should show them the door. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/07...

From low attendance to little casework: Facts show Nigel Farage’s appalling record as MP So much for being a man of the people, it’s been a bad year for Farage.

This will probably come as no surprise to anyone

The Lib Dems have reported the BBC to Ofcom for giving "undue prominence" to Reform UK in its coverage of the UK-France deal yesterday

Reform's momentum is making the political weather Nigel Farage's party has seen four recent defections from the Tories, with Labour reshaping its approach in response

This piece is everything that is wrong about the BBC's political coverage:

Zero commentary on policy or substance, maximum gossipy coverage of fluff.

Not at all surprising that it was penned by Chris Mason.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Nobel Committee has an historic opportunity here. Imagine Trump’s face if Francesca Albanese won the Nobel Peace Prize.

But are Reform really “making the political weather” as you, so uncritically say, Chris Mason, or are you making it for them by hyperventilating over each grubby little Tory-Reform-reshuffle, without *ever* properly scrutinising the howling failures of these deeply unpleasant, grifting clowns?

Reform has lost 11 councillors and 2 MPs in a matter of months… and when I say ‘lost’ I mean, they’ve quit following rows, impropriety or inability to do their jobs.
So, if Brexit weren’t proof enough, then this barrelling shitshow should confirm forever that they should be nowhere near govt.

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

Tell me why haven’t the press picked up on the rebranded Sure Starts?

Why haven’t they commented on Reform’s MP who removed the whip from himself?

Why aren’t they talking about the highest business confidence in 9 years?

Why are they still on about Reeves tears?

They’re poisonous!

The post-Tory Conservative Party and the Farageistes are so absorbed by MAGA Trump online thought leaders that they are losing the capacity to formulate policy that does not mindlessly emulate American talking points

The BBC are constantly bending over backwards to please Reform.

I fear they're becoming a mouthpiece for Nigel Farage, a guy who wants to destroy them.

Yes. Britain’s economy was grenaded by the Tories and their ruinous Brexit ideology… peddled furiously as a ‘win’ by right wing papers like that one. Don’t now try to claim it’s the last 12 months that’s done it. We’ve been watching the whole time.

'He's done nothing': Nigel Farage accused of only using Clacton 'for photo opportunities' There are murmurs of discontent in Clacton, and Nigel Farage remains an elusive presence in his own constituency.

This will probably come as no surprise to anyone

So 4 things we learned about #Farage this week :

Highest paid MP thanks to his 11 jobs outside Parliament;
Receives the highest value of gifts.
Among the worst attendees in the Commons.
Barely in his 'constituency'.

A conman, grifter, fraudster.

In it for him, not for you.

'I needed help from my local MP - but it's Nigel Farage and nobody has seen him' Today marks a year since the election of Reform UK leader Nigel Farage to Parliament. Ros Wynne-Jones visits Clacton-on-Sea to speak to residents wondering where he's been.

Sultana voted in 2020 that MPs who change their party affiliation should be recalled. Although being suspended from the Labour whip for 12 months creates something of a grey area for her. Affiliated Unite union is donating cash to her. It has questions to answer.

Brexit a 'disaster' that 'ruined the country' - referendum 'should be repeated' On the ninth anniversary of the day the UK voted to leave the EU, we asked readers to have their say on whether Brexit has been a success - and Mirror readers had a lot to say on the matter.

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone that Brexit has been slammed as a 'complete disaster' that 'ruined most of the country' in a poll marking nine years since the UK voted to leave the EU
