Hot on the heels of 'Fans never get banned from football matches' the Culture Secretary dreams of a far off fantasy world where oscar winners come from small northern towns. I for one have no idea who Danny Boyle is.

A bit bad for the Tories and Reform, even worse for the economy.

But...people who hate immigration aren't going to be swayed by data; facts don't matter.

Phase 1 of the Gaza 'peace plan' has been accomplished:
• Palestinian unconditional surrender
• Palestinians relinquish all leverage
• Palestinians accept partial-occupation
• Israel gets off scot-free
• All hostages released
• Israel re-arms

Phase 2 has now begun:
• Israel resumes the genocide

Private health care and big pharma lobbyists have paid hundreds of thousands of pounds in a bid to keep the NHS free at the point of use.

‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

Seems kind of urgent

On 17/10/23, Health Sec. Wes Streeting was given £39,000 cash by big pharma lobbyist Kevin Craig. Since 2023, Labour cabinet members collectively raked in more than £500,000 from private healthcare companies. Does anyone seriously think those companies don't expect a return on their investment? #NHX

In his only scheduled media interview before #COP30 and the first ever exclusive with an indigenous forest journalist, António Guterres tells SUMAÚMA that humanity must change course or face ‘devastating consequences’

Get ready for a slew of dishonest social media ads from Labour claiming the Renters' Rights Bill as a triumph over demon landlords.

Ads won't mention caving to vested interests, nor:
• Eviction loopholes
• Insufficient tenant protections
• Court delays
• Discrimination & affordability

The US investigation into the shooting of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh by an IDF soldier found it was not intentional.

But a retired US colonel who was part of the team that reviewed the scene shortly after the shooting says the evidence showed a soldier deliberately shot her.

When we said we don't intend to be concerned or disappointed by the Labour Government - we intend to replace them, we meant it.

Yougov have Labours lowest poll ever and Greens highest ever.

Keep going everybody.

‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.'

We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them.

Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse.

Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped?

With all the milestones, how extraordinary this is can get lost!

Last Sunday on the BBC I announced we overtook the Tories at 124k members.

That's +26,000 members in the last week.

Seeing people fawning over Streeting for calling that woman a racist, when he was pushing racist ‘illegal migrants’ rhetoric in the same interview

Wes Streeting, from the party of organised labour, threatens workers that if they go out on strike over pay he'll cancel their essential training.

Labour, on the side of working people until they stand up for themselves, & then its sneers & threats.

Normal service on #TrevorPhillips & #BBCLauraK. Days after Plaid Cymru sensationally won the #Caerphilly by-election there is no room for Plaid on either programme. But Trevor Phillips has room for the losing party: Farage's Reform & Zia Yusuf. Ever get the feeling you are being cheated?

Plaid Cymru won the Caerphilly by election, beating Reform into second place. So does #trevorphillips interview someone from the winning party? Of course he doesn't!

Instead he interviews Zia Yusuf from Reform.

Yep! I sorted all the clocks in my house in 5 minutes, except my husband's alarm clock! He has ADHD and, while he won't want me to change it for him, he's not done it yet and he probably won't remember until bedtime tonight. 😏

Cuomo keeps suggesting "a 9/11" could happen if Mamdani was mayor. But THE 9/11 happened when Giuliani was mayor and it was back when he was America's Favourite Mayor.

I don't know, lads, I think Cuomo might be doing a desperate racism.

Sir Keir Starmer has been specifically named in a UN report for complicity in Israel's genocide.

The report states that the UK government played "a key role in military collaboration with Israel... a collective crime... with detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." 🧵

That's some spin from Lammy. Not only does someone having to make another channel crossing, particularly due to their expressed fear of being trafficked, show how inhumane and pointless the policy is, it shows how it risks creating a never ending cycle of people forced into using irregular routes.

Applying the socio-economic duty to tackle child poverty - Transforming Society Academics Stand Against Poverty UK is calling for urgent, bold, and coordinated action—including the long-overdue implementation of the socio-economic duty—to address the alarming rise in child povert...

Child poverty has risen in the UK faster than any other high-income country and now more than 2 million children live in absolute poverty. It's a systemic crisis – fixing any part of it requires a more equal society. But! There is a way we can do that, argues Equality Trust's Vanessa Boon.
