The increasing availability of low-deposit mortgages feels significant.

Many people are paying monthly rent at a similar level to a mortgage, so it’s not like they can’t afford the monthly repayments.

Lower deposits reduces a significant barrier!

Has she forgotten Cameron and Osborne already tried that, it caused such damage to the country we still haven't fully recovered. The mess her party caused between 2010-2024 is finally being fixed, the economy is growing and productivity is the highest its been for 7 years.

Normally I wouldn’t repost something so incomprehensible, something that is so sick it couldn’t possibly have happened but we must now think anything is possible.

President Zelensky signed a decree imposing sanctions on 91 vessels linked to Russia’s shadow fleet. The ships were used to transport oil from Russian ports including Novorossiysk, Ust-Luga and Primorsk, bypassing EU and G7 sanctions, according to the decree. #Ukraine

Agree. But this sort of information is already available to the press and they simply don't publish it. Those of us who are interested follow accounts like @warrenoates1.bsky.social Others just repeat the nonsense that the Government is doing nothing.

Dear Americans I have voted by post for many years. It’s safe and secure with almost no fraud because of the checks. Nearly all civilised countries allow it. Trump lies only to restrict voting and to allow voter intimidation at polling stations.

But the unions aren't happy, it's an above inflation rise, this Government has given them bigger rises than the Tories ever did, the unions do themselves no favours with this type of moaning.

Logic Example Number 1

Patriotism: Oligarchs and Taxes.

You cannot purport to be a “Patriot” and at the same time pay the most expensive lawyers and accountants at best to avoid and at worst evade paying local and national taxes.
You either care for your country and all its people or you don’t.

That’s one of the reasons I admire him, it must be driving the gossip press nuts. (You can’t call them journalists).

I think that's a big reason why the media is so hostile to Starmer. He doesn't want a cosy relationship with them, he doesn't take them into his confidence and seek their approval of what he does and they don't like it. Journalism should be reporting facts without fear or favour not game playing.

Right-wing media’s cynicism about climate leaves out ongoing global success of renewables

While the right and it's media try to convince us climate change has “dropped off the list of priorities", in reality the world embraces Green Energy, we see the success of Renewables as it now takes over from oil and gas.

From expanding surgical hubs and Community Diagnostic Centres across the country, to more evening and weekend clinics, 2025 was a record year for elective care activity in the NHS.

Demand for UK rental properties drops as buying becomes more affordable Falling levels of immigration also reduce competition among tenants

This can also filter through into the rental market

“Demand for UK rental properties was at its lowest in January for seven years, as improved affordability for first-time buyers and falling levels of immigration eased competition among tenants”

First-time buyers enjoy biggest choice of low-deposit mortgages in UK since 2008 More than 500 deals now offer 95% loans as banks and building societies loosen their borrowing rules

Large increase in low-deposit mortgage availability.

Interest rates, and hence mortgage rates, falling.

Wages increasing faster than house prices.

Maybe some good signs for the future….

People need to ask why the attacks on Keir and Labour are so vicious rather than jump on the bandwaggon being pulled by knackered old horse Nazzi Farridge.

CBS News’ downward spiral continues. Variety reports it’s looking at another round of layoffs, at least 15% of the staff.

After the Washington Post layoffs, the hollowing out of US media is accelerating.

Jamie Bonkiewicz & on X @JamieBonkiewicz Not all women are safe. Not all women protect children. Not all women can be trusted. Not all women support survivors. Some women protect pedophiles. Some women belong in prison. Pam Bondi is that woman.

One last thing, it isn’t political. These are deeply unpleasant individuals, acting for their own interests and theirs only. There is no ‘higher purpose’ or unifying belief. Just the pure unadulterated love of money, and an alienable sense of entitlement. The racism is merely fuel to gain power.

And boy are we starting to see the evil which sits behind it. It’s more than greed, or a need to be secure financially. It’s a mental illness, irrational at its core. It displaces all empathy or fellow feeling. And it is very powerful. And above all it needs recognising and defeating at all costs.

The more we see of the Epstein matter, the more it seems to reveal about a multi national group of wealthy men, across continents, which have Brexit & Trump as their most recent ‘successes’. For sure Farage is knee deep in it. That Putin and some senior Israelis are involved gets ever clearer too🧵

Bangladesh Nationalist Party poised for decisive win in landmark parliamentary elections Bangladesh’s opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), led by Tarique Rahman, was projected to win a landslide in the first election since a deadly 2024 uprising, local television channels said on Friday.
