CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

As Honest Bob Jenrick tours the country repeating far-right conspiracy talking points about “two-tier sentencing”, here is the letter his own government sent to the Sentencing Council last year approving the very Guidelines he now claims are evidence of “two-tier Keir”.

The man is a fraud.

Just a periodic little reminder.
We all have our reasons for hating the vile little shit rag - peddler of hate, fear, misogyny, racism & lies.

BREAKING: UN security council votes to adopt US-drafted resolution to mark third anniversary of full-scale war in Ukraine without mentioning Russia’s aggression.

It received 10 votes in favour, including Russia and China, while five members including UK and France abstained.

Unbelievable, from the man who did more than anyone else to give Douglas Murray's explicit white ethnonationalism a platform and a bridge to the UK mainstream.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Spot on.

We’re done here. Right?

UK to refuse citizenship to refugees who have ‘made a dangerous journey’ Home Office accused of shutting out refugees, as new guidance says those applicants will ‘normally be refused’

This is not only morally reprehensible, but a breach of the UN Refugee Convention.

No refugee should be discriminated against on the basis of how they entered the country

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.”

Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

Proud to join the inaugural meeting of The Hague Group — a nine-nation coalition with @progintl.bsky.social — committed to enforcing ICJ & ICC rulings with coordinated sanctions on Israel.

A historic step toward real accountability for genocide, apartheid and occupation in Palestine.

To all those replying saying "This should be a front page correction".

Why post this at me??

Go to IPSO.co.uk/making-a-complaint

Complain about the original story *and* the correction and explain why it should be on the front page. Takes 5 minutes. And don't think they don't notice/care. They do

Gotta love the British press.

Angles matter.

Just saying.

After 15 months of genocide in Gaza, a ceasefire has been declared — but the US, UK & others must be held accountable for arming these atrocities.

We’ll keep speaking out until the siege lifts, aid flows, schools & hospitals are rebuilt, the Occupation ends & Palestine is free.

A new print to welcome in the next president of the United States.❤️
