Jeremy Corbyn attacks Angela Rayner for selling off allotments The ex-Labour leader - and keen gardener - accuses ministers of threatening a British tradition.

Very sad to see Labour govt flogging off allotment sites. Allotments provide sustainable, healthy food, encourage exercise and community spirit, & are rich in biodiversity. 10,000 people are on waiting lists to get one! Idiotic. We need more, not fewer!

YouTube video by Supertanskiii JailHouse C*cks: 2 in 5 Far-Right Rioters Attack Women. Wait, So They’re Not Feminists?

Guess who’s back?

This bitch! And it feels good!

So are the stats: 2 in 5 of those Stella chugging fake patriots who rioted last year are more of danger to their ex than most refugees.

Here’s my take. I don’t hold back.

Reeves says rules and red tape are β€˜boot on the neck’ of business At the Mansion House dinner she calls for regulators to allow more risk to clear the way for economic growth

Cutting "red tape" (aka public protections), as Reeves is doing, does not save money. Instead, it transfers costs from the rich to the poor. Other people pay for financial recklessness, filthy rivers, air pollution, lax building standards and consumer rip-offs.
