Voters demand benefits crackdown, poll shows Majority of Britons think welfare rules are too lax amid growing concerns over sickness bill

I’m not saying we should be throwing money around, but getting benefits or being on benefits is not easy. A bit more compassion and less contempt would go a long way.

Truss sends Starmer cease and desist letter over claim she crashed the economy The former prime minister’s lawyers claim the frequently-made criticism is β€˜false and defamatory’

It’s a medical marvel that this person has zero shame. Absolutely none. It should be studied.

Brighton and Hove are a city of unacceptable inequality. This admissions proposal seeks to make a real intervention to address this, while also allowing the freedom of choice for many families.

β€˜A monument to Green Party failure’ – Council leader calls for apology over i360 debt Council leader Bella Sankey has called for a formal apology from the Green Party for their role in the funding of the Brighton i360 after the…

A sad day for Brighton and Hove as the i360 goes bust.

This will remain as a monument to the Green Party’s failure in our city.

Wild that the Greens are against farm estates paying inheritance tax when they campaigned for a WEALTH tax!

What did you think that would entail? πŸ‘€

36% of children living in poverty. Where’s the protests on this? National disgrace.

How long do we think before the Trump-Musk bust up becomes the story du jour?

Immigration is and has never been the problem, underfunding and policies ignorant of class struggles are. But 14 years of Tory destruction has created a rancid politic argument.

After a weekend in Glasgow, genuinely eye opening to see how much anti-immigration messaging is landing.

The left needs to be hyper focused on effective tangible politics which is wages, housing, health etc. as they’re all being used as reasons immigration is the root of all evil.

Plumstead primary school earmarked for closure over falling numbers - The Greenwich Wire A consultation is set to begin on closing a primary school in Plumstead after a dramatic fall in the number of pupils. Gallions Mount school, in Purrett Road, has gone from having 295 primary-aged chi...

This is happening all over London now, as people are no longer able to afford to start a family.

For all the coverage of a tiny few paying more for private school fees, it would be good to read just a bit more about the far bigger pressures faced by everyone else greenwichwire.co.uk/2024/11/14/p...

Work will finally start to restore historic arches next week Brighton and Hove City Council will begin the first phase of the Madeira Terrace project on Monday.

If there’s one thing our Labour council refuses to do, it’s kick something down the road.

Problems that have gone on for decades, we’re sorting out!

Still slightly dubious about the future of this. Threads seemed like it was going to be the end of Twitter, but it continued on and got worse.

Guardian leaving will hopefully be the beginning of the end. But still not convinced.
