There were 115 prisoners mistakenly released in the final year of the last Conservative Government alone.

Interesting that it only becomes a major national scandal the second these releases can be blamed on a Labour government

Making a complaint - IPSO How to make a complaint to IPSO about an article in a newspapers, magazine or online, or the behaviour of a journalist.

3. the links for complaints about newspapers, magazines and digital news sites, for people signed up to IPSO:

www.ipso.co.uk/making-a-com...

Making complains does make a difference. So the more there are the more likely it is something changes.

But if you never complain, nothing ever will change!

The UK Must Urgently Distance Itself From Elon Musk and Space X, Warns Parliamentary Report The UK's infrastructure has become far too reliant on the far-right billionaire, who could 'politicise' our reliance upon his companies, the report warns

The UK Must Urgently Distance Itself From Elon Musk and Space X, Warns Parliamentary Report.

Musk has used thousands of replies and quote-tweets to massively boost the audiences of pro-Russian accounts on X.

He is working with Putin to destroy democracy.

But I still cannot believe that before now, no checks are all were needed to set up a business, no proof of who you were, whether a real person or anything.

It's a long standing scandal that is finally being sorted.

For the propagandists in Russia and the US who keep lying about how dangerous Europe is, itโ€™s actually much safer than both of those countries

Trump was gifted a crown belonging to a king who claimed power from heaven. Sillaโ€™s kings rose by centralizing absolute powerโ€ฆ and eventually collapsed under the corruption and rebellion. This was expert-level trolling by S. Korea, but Trump is too absorbed in himself to notice heโ€™s the punchline.

So basically the UK taxpayer was fleeced into handing over billions to Peter Thiel to help fund his RW authoritarian takeover of the West??

Oh good.

Johnson, Cummings & the rest deserve jail time for this at the very least.

There are two things that Starmer could do to save the country from Farage and his gangโ€ฆ Bring in PR. And overhaul the media.

He wonโ€™t do either. Actually, one more - rejoin the CU and SM. Heโ€™s ignoring that one too.

Polling shows immigration concern โ€˜manufacturedโ€™, say campaigners A YouGov poll found only 26% of people said immigration and asylum was one of the three most important issues facing their community.

Our latest polling shows concerns about immigration are manufactured

"Having grossly mislead the British public over the supposed benefits of Brexit which have turned out to be entirely false, Mr Farage is now turning his hand to trying to remove the U.K. from the ECHR with rather similar statements that doing so will solve immigration issues. His speech was as shallow and incoherent as it was ill informed. It neglected to mention the benefits of membership or the economic and security costs of leaving. He trumpeted the benefits of the common law and Magna Carta, ignoring the fact that the Magna Carta was needed because the CommonLaw was deficient in curbing tyranny. The ECHR has been rightly described as the Magna Carta of the 20th century. It protects our liberties. But as he is such an admirer of President Trump who is busy destroying the liberties of Americans and behaving tyrannically against his opponents we should not perhaps be surprised at his actions."

Yesterday's attempt by Farage to take the UK out of the ECHR represents a story we're all too familiar with; selling a movement as a lie. Remaining in the ECHR ensures human rights, equality, and a mutual respect across communities, and it's essential that we continue to challenge these lies.

Sky news also interrupted their news programme to go live to Farage. They both do this all the time,and it's a big factor in how Farage &Co are gaining power and voters. Same way Trump got to where he is now. MSM normalise them till it becomes self fulfilling prophecy. God help us.

We had a full public inquiry into the grooming gangs.
It took 7 years.
They reported to our government in 2022 with recommendations to stop it happening again.
We implemented NONE of them.
We left Labour to pick up the pieces - Kemi Badenoch

He may not want you to hear it, but this is the original audio, sourced directly from the Reagan Library.
