The Governor of HMP Wandsworth is conspicuously silent. After the last blunder how is possible to repeat the same mistake?

Sad ending to her career - I suspect Hampton is a better goalie too

Police need to investigate and see if a prosecution is feasible

Reeves made an inadvertent mistake, the letting agent said they would apply for a licence if it was needed. De facto this ends the affair and time to move on - Tory bleating desist

Tories - the party that had trashed the economy in 14 years. That had achieved zero growth and maximum austerity. That had opened the UK border to mass migration. And yet we were being asked to forget this. Kemi is fooling no-one.

More like death knell for Conservatives. Greens have more members than conservatives. Tories are aging and under-educated

She will soon be toast… Tories change leaders regularly

A major shift in communication needed with Starmer being clearer about #HopeNotHate and being on the front foot. WFA, disability cuts, Mandelson and poor choices in advisers need to be redressed

Those who were in London for the demo were in thrall to ‘Tommy Robinson’ (sic), the former BNP member with convictions for violence, drug possession and fraud. #HopeNotHate #AntiFascism Defeat those xénophobes and racists

Solar Farms in Cornwall and Devon are welcome. Ignote nimby protests - less than 1% of farmland is needed for solar. We should also put panels on barns, factories and shelters. All homes should have PV panels... I paid for mine in 2015, but importantly we contribute to reduction of global warming.

Defeat racism #HopeNotHate We need to renember the 1930s and see off anyone who attacks democracy and promotes violence

Elon Musk is not a fit and proper person to do business with... our government should block his eligibilty to bid for any government contracts. #HopeNotHate and #AntiFascism

Elon Musk inciting violence and governmeny overthrow - anyone who supports that is the enemy within

Folk carrying flags outside hotels housing asylum seekers are de facto xénophobes at best and ignorant racists at worst. #HopenotHate Live and let live

The Homeland Party should be proscribed and anyone joining it on a list of far right activists. No place for #Racism in UK

We need an adult conversation about #NHS demand levels - the demographic tsunami of frail elderly and dementia means we must look at people’s assets.

The doctors should not strike. #BMA have got this wrong and only 26% in a poll support the doctors. They were given a pay deal and should accept it

For Southern Water’s boss to trouser more than a million pounds after just announcing a hosepipe ban and losing millions of litres in leaks every single day is abhorrent. It encapsulates everything that’s wrong with our broken, privatised water system.”

We need compulsory voting as in Australia. Simply increasing eligibility is not enough. ID cards would help.

No CEOs should get pay rise or bonus while sewage leaks. Southern Water has nearly doubled its chief executive’s annual pay package to £1.4m despite financial difficulties and a government ban on the company awarding bonuses.

If this had been taught in the UK for the last 2 decades, Boris Johnson would have got nowhere near 10 Downing St, Brexit would never have happened, and Scotland would be independent.

I would like to see a two state solution, suspend arms to Israel, and condemn the genocide and withholding of aid. The rest of this post is wrong - Sir Kier is not the enemy, Netanyahu is.

Blue Badge

No-one who has a registered disability should face a reduction in income - that is a mark of a civilized society. Increase tax on anyone over £100k instead

Netanyahu accuses leaders of Britain, France and Canada of ‘emboldening Hamas’ Israeli PM criticises leaders after their call for halt to Gaza offensive and restrictions on humanitarian aid

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m.... No it does not embolden terrorists - it is simply a humanitarian response saying stop, get the hostages back and create a two state solution.

Good news - shun the swastikar

Netanyahu should be at The Hague for crimes against humanity.

The 50% drop in net migration just announced will surprise precisely nobody who has been paying attention to the issue, as opposed to exploiting and lying about it for clicks & votes. I doubt the stats will change the toxic narratives of the latter group, though.

Sure Start children’s centres provided £2 of savings for every £1 in costs, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies. Tory misrule cut Sure Start, time to re-introduce?
