Co-operative housing already shows what’s possible when people own where they live. Fair rents, strong communities, real security.

In Parliament today, the Housing Minister agreed: it’s time to explore how law can help it grow.

It’s Indigenous People Day🩵

We honor, celebrate & remember those who First called this land home.
Their tragedies & loss.
Their culture & contributions that wove the fabric on which this country sits. 🩵

Remember almost all of us are descendant from immigrants who claimed what wasn’t theirs to own.

This conversation.

Thank you, #BBCWest / #BBCBristol - it's good to see you can still do it.

And grow up fast or we will be the next USA. Heed the warning.

A lot of really nice pieces in this lot:

"I share the deep feeling of relief as hostages are released today.

It is now crucial that we work together to implement President Trump’s peace plan for Gaza."

Keir Starmer: "Today is the first, crucial phase in ending the war in the Middle East.

Now we must deliver lasting peace and a secure future for the whole region.

The UK is providing additional humanitarian aid for civilians in Gaza, and we will lead efforts to accelerate its reconstruction."

I will call out anyone who makes generalisations about ‘boomers’ and their affiliation to the Right. We were the generation at the vanguard of the fight against racism, sexism, protested against Vietnam. There are multitudes of us who still hold those views and are horrified by what is happening

Feel for her really, the concept seems to be cartoonish colours everywhere and constant screaming throughout. Enjoy the dances but thank goodness for Dave Arch orchestra & singers.

Annie Kenney and Christabel Pankhurst were arrested on this day 1905 after disrupting a Liberal rally at Manchester's Free Trade Hall attended by Winston Churchill and Sir Edward Grey. They shouted: ‘Will the Liberal government give votes to women?’

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Starmer has negotiated closer ties with the EU since day one.
I voted remain, but I'm not convinced a re run of Brexit in reverse will ever be feasible, affordable or successful. The division of Brexit is still there, & would new EU terms ever suit?
We should never have left in the first place.

🥱 Oh do give over, Bylines and all the other doom-mongers. People who ignore/warp reality to further their own angry agendas are so tiresome.

I'm it. I'm a Labour member & voted Labour in the last GE. To me & many others like me this govt is getting on with the job of restoring our country post Tory.
Left wing ideals won't cut it in this changing & hostile world. This govt has got the balance right.
The msm is Starmer's main problem.

Absolutely right. Let em carp, in the meantime Labour will simply get on with the job

Tweet by Esheru (@EsheruKwaku) If you have always voted Tory, then flirted with UKIP, was taken in by the Brexit Party, voted Brexit, then listened to Boris Johnson and voted Conservatives (again) to Get Brexit Done and now you support/voted Reform, the state the country is in, is because of you. 1:58 PM • Oct 5, 2025

Nailed it!

We'll know 'gold standard' apprenticeships really are 'gold standard' when politicians think their own kids should do them rather than getting a degree.

Stewart Lee: The thugs have taken my flag. So I’ve taken theirs What do you do with a lot of cheap banners hanging from motorway bridges once you’ve torn them down?

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

White House warns UK over China spy case fiasco America says intelligence sharing could be damaged by Britain’s failure to prosecute alleged Chinese collaborators

To date, Starmer has been hugely effective at reconciling closer links with China, 'reset' with the EU and a good relationship with Trump. That balancing act is only going to get harder. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

‘It’s a question of humanity’: how a small Spanish town made headlines over its immigration stance Mayor explains why Villamalea unanimously backed call to regularise undocumented migrants – across party lines

'There was a day when people who practise Islam went to the church & got to know the prayer space & then they did the reverse; the Catholics went to the mosque & experienced it,” said the mayor “& around 2 months later, the five religions we have in Villamalea came together to pray in the church.”'
