The government are reportedly planning on moving some asylum seekers from hotels to military bases...

How about, rather than shipping a few hundred people off to military sites, we let asylum seekers work and contribute to our society and fix our broken asylum system? 🤔

No argument here.

The government must support older workers as the state pension age increases With the next state pension age increase imminent, the government must act urgently to support those who struggle to make it to 67 and beyond. This entails getting four things right.

Right to buy in reverse: how Brighton is tackling its social housing crisis | Richard Partington The council is rolling back Thatcher’s flagship policy by buying stock from private landlords. Other local authorities should take note

Thatcher bought votes with her 'right to buy' policy

Interesting Guardian story about Brighton reversing Right to Buy

As I revealed this month, councils have spent over £2bn buying up 8.5k homes in the past five years. Half of those are homes previously lost under Right to Buy.

It's widespread: www.bigissue.com/news/housing...

It is very tedious to see this desperation from the right wing press, who never checked out individual spending before Labour got into power.

I think this is absolutely right. Also, so many of these guys do actually understand that 'a mixed-race family in an advert' is there to sell people things. They absolutely cannot stand that some minorities are successful. It is resentment all the way down.

Gavin Newsom just said the quiet part out loud:

“All this anti-woke stuff is just anti-Black. Period. Full stop.”

And he’s right. “Anti-woke” was never about ideas, it was a marketing campaign to sanitize racism, roll back progress, and make bigotry sound intellectual.

Mamdani rallies with Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez
as Democrats close ranks around NYC mayoral nominee. “While Donald Trump’s donor billionaires think they have the money to buy this election, we have a movement of the masses,” Mamdani said to a roaring crowd.

Could government perhaps *listen* to the charities in the refugee sector who know what is going on? None of this is a surprise!

Poor Tommy Robinson fans must be scratching their heads…

Farmers are destroying crops they can't sell due to trump's policies & tariffs while federal workers line up at food banks & SNAP gets cut. We have food rotting in fields & people going hungry, not because of scarcity, but because of trump's policies. He is trying to starve us into submission.

Thank you, Chicago.
