Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

60% of Brits told researchers the Government is ‘doing badly’ on reducing the number of people experiencing poverty.

This comes as the Government announces more than £5 BILLION in cuts to social security payments for disabled people, which will push even more people to the doors of food banks.

BREAKING 🚨 7 in 10 Brits think social security should cover disabled people’s essential living costs.

Our new research shows voters are unimpressed by the Government’s current record on poverty 🧵⬇️

This is a massive home goal. Disappointed doesn’t even come close. You had a choice, 2% wealth tax that will hardly make a dent in the fortunes of those it applies to, or this!

Wow

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

These neo-Nazis are training in hand to hand combat in a compound in eastern Tennessee. The Patriot Front is a modern day KKK. They are prepared to use violence. They say white European Americans are the only Americans. The FBI warned that white extremists were the greatest threat to our nation.

You should laugh at anyone who says the president should have unlimited power because he was elected. His power has to be limited *because* he's the president. This is fifth grade level social studies

Complicit

This country is awash with money. The very rich are rich beyond imagination. So when Starmer wants to stay within his arbitrary fiscal rules, who does he decide to take money from? The very rich? No, from people with disabilities who depend on benefits for the bare minimum of a decent life.

In the 1700's the French lent the USA over $2m ($500m in today's money) to fund their war of Independence against the British Empire.

If the USA was forced to repay it using standard interest rates they would owe France about $250bn.

He once set fire to a pet shop , now doing the same to the NHS only difference is he’s now being paid to destroy something .

Trump eyes $5 million ‘gold card’ plan for ‘high-level’ immigrants In some countries, if you’re willing to write a sizable check, you can become a citizen. The United States is apparently poised to become such a country.

The old American creed: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free."

The new American creed: If some "very high-level people" want to pony up $5 million for a "Trump Gold Card," the White House will open the door to them. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Water firm allowed to pour sewage in Windermere using permit from 1989 Treatment works that release sewage into a stream connected to Lake Windermere is 'decrepit, primitive and inadequately maintained', say campaigners

United Utilities releasing sewage into Lake Windermere using a permit that has not been updated in more than 30 years.

Fraud - customer pay for proper sewage disposal. companies dump it in rivers/lakes.

Govts/Ofwat let water companies boost profits by fleecing people.

It’s not fair is it? There’s nothing fair about any of this. They fck up, we pay more. That’s not how it should work. They should be accountable and if they do not fulfil their obligations, shareholders should get nothing. Shares should be paid out of profits after all expenditure has been made

But they don’t care quite enough to not line their already very substantially lined pockets with even higher dividends and bonuses again this year! It is diabolical. It’s profiteering. They regulate themselves. Water is a human right, it should not be profited from. #nationalisenow #keirstarmer

They are of course, here to support us. They know that for many customers, any bill increase will put additional strain on households already finding things difficult due to the rising cost of living…

So, they are undertaking the largest investment in water and wastewater services in 100 years? Who has owned these services for the better part of 3 decades? Who have I been paying money to for the better part of 3 decades to ensure I am provided with safe, clean drinking water….?

The Labour Party went into the election promising to reform discredited NHS contract fuelling current crisis. According to @thebda.bsky.social there has been no material progress by the new government to date. The BDA say its deeply concerned that the Treasury is now standing in the way of progress
