The only reason to go to Dubai is because you prioritise money over everything else.
I hope some people are learning that this is neither a moral nor a practical approach to life.

Yulia Navalny will be interested to hear that.

Labour must include PR in its new Bill, otherwise it's only representation for SOME of the people - West Country Voices The government’s Representation of the People Bill, introduced on 12 February, has been hailed as the biggest expansion of democratic participation in a generation.

"While votes at 16 is a genuinely historic step, how motivated will young voters feel when, for so many, their vote will almost certainly change nothing?

The most powerful thing we could do to engage all voters is to give them a system in which their votes actually matter."

Well said 👇

Yes. I believe Sky and BBC news channels interrupted their continuous coverage of Trump speeches for long enough to give Farage his daily airing.

“Our attack was so successful we inadvertently created a power vacuum” is a new one to me tbh

Yes.

Even if this was a reasonable policy - which it isn’t - are you really going to trust the Americans only to fly defensive missions from the bases? What are they going to say? ‘Scout’s honor?’

Reform UK is in big trouble – which means it will fight dirtier than ever The Gorton and Denton results should encourage the government to seriously look at introducing an alternative vote syste

Accusations of cheating and sectarianism show that Reform UK pose a danger to our democracy, even in defeat.

Disgraceful and shameful for a so-called liberal nation.

Shabana Mahmood to limit refugees to 30 months in UK Shorter asylum period can be renewed under hardline policy aimed at stopping rise of Reform UK

Utterly cruel, pointless and harmful. It does not minimise how bad Conservatives were to say Labour are now the most anti-asylum government in most people's living memory. This prevents people feeling any sense of safety and security after fleeing persecution.

question time audience member who famously claimed to have a mate who saw asylum seekers get out of their boat on the beach and walk straight into town and into the benefits office.

"my mate saw them get out of the boats, walk across the street, straight into town and into the polling station to vote for Greens".

Again, would love to put some of these questions to him myself, but Reform have banned Byline Times from attending any of their events

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

“Kuwait air defences mistakenly shot down three US F15 fighter jets flying in Iran-related operations, the US Central Command (Centcom) said earlier today. All six aircrew ejected safely, have been safely recovered and are in stable condition.”
Presumably using American-supplied ack-ack?!
🤣🤣🤣

We deserve a democracy that represents us— not billionaire donors, foreign governments, tax dodgers and shadowy elites.

The govt’s new Elections Bill is supposed to clean up big money in politics. But as it stands its not strong enough.

But there IS a specific English ethnicity: mongrel.

The fiscal framework should be a tool to help the government achieve its growth objectives and ensure fiscal sustainability. It's time for a proper conversation about reforming it.

Here's what our director Louis Willis had to say ⬇️

sorry, Britain’s full-up, we can’t have these Dubai immigrants coming over wanting their all-day buffets by a pool & not integrating with British culture

For years, I fretted over Tories doing fash stuff. Latterly, I looked forward to 2024, trusting Labour would be better. I want to trust Labour - I see they do good things. I understand that governing is more complicated than being in opposition

But the migration rhetoric is foul. Trust gone

Thanks. That’s really cheered me up!

Nigel Farage vows to end postal voting and Commonwealth citizens voting rights after by-election defeat The plans have been described as Trumpian…

But where does this get us? There is no specific English ethnicity. There are either sub-national ethnicities (West Yorks etc) or there are ethnicities shared with other NW European countries, especially via Anglo Saxon genes.

World Cup 2026: What does the Middle East conflict mean for the tournament? What does the US conflict with Iran mean for what was already set to be a highly politicised World Cup this summer?

Every country should boycott it, no fans should go.

It's not safe, and it's morally reprehensible in many ways

Is that “working” in the sense of showing up at your place of work, whether it be Westminster or Clacton?
