A London lawyer bought hundreds of Sheffield freeholds. Then the ‘very aggressive’ letters arrived Exclusive: The Tribune can reveal that Andrew Milne has threatened leaseholders with high court action. It ‘broke my heart’ one woman says

An absolutely shocking story in two parts and outstanding journalism to boot.

When we dehumanise refugees, we dehumanise ourselves - Bylines Scotland If we allow lies and propaganda to inform our views of refugees, what does that say about us?

EveryDoctor has started to gather testimony from frontline NHS staff to bring into the public domain, because we are fed up of seeing political rhetoric filling the papers, with an absolute lack of focus on what’s actually happening to patients+ staff. We’ll keep you updated 💙🚨

Yorkshire Water: it’s time to end the rip-off Handing the company back to local people would return both control and value to those who need it most

"Yorkshire Water was privatised in 1989 under the Water Act, launched debt-free and promoted as the start of a new, efficient era.

Today, the company carries almost £7bn in debt...."

The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go.

Hey Labour

Remember the majority of voters who believe in treating people decently and not stealing from those who've endured months and years of hardship fleeing war and persecution to seek a place of safety?

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.

A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

Does a resident doctor earn more than an MP? No. Let’s save the desperate morality grasps from politicians then. MPs have had umpteen pay rises since 2010 and they have quietly and relentlessly awarded these to themselves, regardless of what the public is going through.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Land is power – Scotland’s people have none Land isn't just about wealth and justice, it's about power. Scotland is cut off from its own land resources and hence is poorer as a nation

"Why don’t we fight back? Because land is power. Every single piece of credible research says that Scots overwhelmingly do want to fight back. Land reform is wildly popular, supported by overwhelming majorities. Yet still it doesn’t happen. Why?"

Trump says he will sue BBC for at least $1bn over Panorama edit The US president confirmed he intends to sue the broadcaster for at least $1bn over the Panorama edit of a 2021 speech.

BBC must say to Trump "See you in court - let lawyers examine your actions on the day that Congress was stormed and you tried to overturn a democratic election" His behaviour won't stand any form of fair scrutiny and it will harm him far more than the BBC.

“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..."

Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night:

Trump rolls back tariffs on dozens of food products The executive order allowing products like coffee and bananas to escape tariffs comes as the Trump administration faces mounting pressure over rising prices.

Trump the incompetent rolls back policies that pushed up the cost of living on food in a desperate attempt to avoid the widely predicted consequences of his own daft tariff policies.

Trump wants to destroy the BBC and Farage is egging him on.

Attacking a federal district judge as an “activist” for issuing a lawful ruling is an assault on judicial independence. A democracy cannot function when executive agencies denigrate judges for doing their jobs.

Mark Wolf

Mark Wolf, a federal judge appointed by Reagan, is resigning after 40 years on the bench.

In an essay published by The Atlantic this week, he wrote, “The White House’s assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence, for me, is now intolerable.”

This spending bill is a fundamental betrayal of the people, and I voted NO.

Shame on every member of Congress who voted to deny a child their medication or to tear away life-saving cancer treatment.

The people deserve so much better, and this fight isn't over.
