Absolute clusterfuck of a policy. Would have been easier and cheaper just to pay the WFP. It's more about controlling the masses than anything to do with governance though, the money would be there in abundance if we taxed the wealthy properly

The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight.

The class wars.

New poll: Europe is publicโ€™s priority in face of Trump tariffs Important new poll shows twice as many voters think the UK should prioritise increasing trade with the EU compared to those who favour the US.

This, by Best for Britain, is a superb piece of work.

It shows that the UK public prioritise the EU over the US for trade, values and trust.

This is also true of voters who switched from Tories to Labour in the recent general election.

Jeezo - BBC Scotland actually spinning removing two child cap to lift children out of poverty is a bad thing.

Do these people have no conscience? This is not about politics this is about stopping children from being hungry.

The BBC in Scotland is amoral

UK PM Keir Starmer wants to build 1.5m homes by 2029

Commendable. BUT
Govt doesn't build homes. Councils not allowed
Private sector lacks capacity
Materials shortage - 500m bricks imported a year, 1.3m metric tons cement; lack of wood, steel
Shortage of skilled labour

Anyone connecting the dots?

Iโ€™m disgusted by the British MSM totally ignoring Amnesty Internationalโ€™s report on Israelโ€™s Genocidal attacks on the Palestinian people. Not even C4 news this evening mentioned it-itโ€™s like, follow UKโ€™s government lead, eyes blinkered, head in sand. Tbh, totally ashamed of GB, glad Iโ€™m Irish ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช ๐Ÿ€.

Who can afford longevity in a cost-of-living crisis? We all need a healthy diet. So why are politicians normalising food banks and allowing malnutrition and associated illnesses to rise?

"There are an estimated 2.9m people in England with malnutrition.

Hospital admissions resulting in nutrition-related diagnoses in England increased by more than 39% over the past decade. Malnourished children are being treated for scurvy, bow legs, rickets and heart murmurs."

Isn't it weird that a country/colony that produces oil and gas has no oil refinery, but the country next door that produces very little oil and gas has 5. Also weird how Scotland produces green electricity but pays the highest to use it.

The 'farmers' protest is a good time to remind people of the Just Stop Oil protestors who got 21 years, just for planning a protest.

Two tier justice indeed.

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza.

If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time.

End all arms sales to Israel, now.
