The number of people who get floated as possible leaders by journalists but who have also seriously wound up the membership is ridiculous.

This is Boris Johnson, surely.

It just a code for hating brown skinned people. See, also, white replacement.

British Empire failed to genocode properly is just another example of western weakness in Musk's Nazi outlook.

Budget could knock half a percentage point off inflation, Bank chief says Bank of England deputy governor Clare Lombardelli said inflation would be brought down by measures cutting energy prices and freezing rail fares.

The Bank of England's Deputy Governor told me and my colleagues on the Treasury Select Committee that this budget could reduce inflation by up to 0.5%. (1/2)

BBC Radio 4 talking about the lack of elections in Ukraine. Leaving aside Trump simply reguirgitating Putin's demands for destabalisation I would humbly suggest that the lack of democratic elections in Russia is the main problem here. To not even offer this level of balance in the story is absurd.

The USA is a deteriorating power, with a Russian asset taking orders straight from Moscow. Trump would like to forge ties because of an emerging China and also he hates Europe” guess what Europe hates Trump

BBC Newsnight saying there is a 'feud' between Sadiq Khan and the orange clown. It is not a feud. It is a vicious racist racist lashing out. In no world does the clown approach Khan's level of decency or competence.
Its like saying you have feud with a poisonous snake or a turd.

I was just thinking how Dan Jarvis might fulfill a similar role. Ex para, same intake as Starmer, so more experienced. Written a book, so some thoughts on paper. I am also pretty sure his nickname was Action Man at somepoint.

All they are countenacing is that Sadiq is a Muslim. It is simple, ugly racism. Nothing more complext than that.

Weird write up here. It is not the responsibility of the party to submit election returns. It is absolutly the responsibility of the candidate and election agent to submit acurate returns. They are the ones who get to gonto jail, not 'the Party'.

As SEND spending accounts for millions in every LA budet, does this non also translate into a sea-change for LA funding?

Or is the expectation that central funding of LAs will decrease to help cover the cost?

LAs like mine that are on course to receive no funding will be quids in.

I run every day for 15 minutes and if I miss a day I add 15 minutes to the next day.

This has truly been a game changer in my life.

Tomorrow I’m supposed to run for three months…

The Trump-era US is reshaping global order in the same way the racoon reshaped the shelves in that liquor store.

Russian imperialist violence. Trade unionists who are determined to fight for a fairer, more equal Ukraine. Socialists who want equality. And all of them know that cannot happen when Russia is occupying Ukraine with its genocidal agenda.

But their voices are so rarely heard. Instead, the Western

It's also important to hear these voices when Ishchenko says that Western media prioritises middle-class liberal Ukrainians who aren't fighting. We don't: here are left wing, working class Ukrainians talking about their experience of the full-scale invasion and their future hopes.

This is vile and so so wrong. GB News is the TV version of X.

Extreme racism like this should not be platformed as β€˜news.’

It is absolutely disgusting and another attempt to drag β€˜debate’ to the right and destabilise our democracy.

That is a lot of tweets. If you got this far you deserve a prize. Reasonable people will debate this growth strategy. But claiming there isn’t one is lazy nonsense. Higher growth matters because rising living standards are the goal, and higher investment is a key tool.

But the actual reason taxes are up is 1) higher debt interest (because Tories doubled national debt and rates then rose) 2) higher public service spending (ie ending austerity)

Or that Lincoln codified it during the Civil War as a way to fortify morale in the war against confederate traitors and slavery.
