A reminder, one day ahead of a by-election in which the Greens are favourites to defeat Reform, that the Daily Mail owner's wife recently donated £50,000 to Nigel Farage's party

In all fairness, she is Cruella da Ville. People should adjust their expectations.

A reminder: ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of energy in their fuel.

UK to bring into force law this week to tackle Grok AI deepfakes The technology secretary said it would be illegal for companies to supply the tools designed to make them.

This is obviously the right decision.

It should spark a wider conversation about social media platforms. We clearly can't - and shouldn't - just rely on the responsibility of the owners.

We have to impeach him.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

The bombing of Venezuela is an act of aggression: unprovoked, unjustified and unjustifiable.

That would be incredible.

I just can’t see it.

Housing secretary tells Labour MPs to vote down planning bill amendment Amendment restricts protection for animals to allow faster house building

Watching Labour MPs take a wrecking ball to nature makes me so angry & so sad. Their action tonight voting down amendments to the #PlanningBill intended to protect wildlife & habitats from destruction is so reckless & so counterproductive. People didn’t vote Labour for this 👇

Ken Clarke rips Reform to pieces, they don't know what they are talking about, they don't know what they are doing, they resigned instantly when they realised they couldn't do the job.
