Planning a rebellious retirement shouting about injustice, inhumanity, climate and environment and political insanity. Probably nobody will be listening.

What an utter absurdity our Home Secretary has created -

Destroying British free speech, right to protest and with it undermining democracy.

It is not for the government to terrorise the public for political opinions they don’t want to hear.

Gaza latest: Netanyahu 'decides on full occupation of Gaza' - with security cabinet to meet Israeli media is reporting that Benjamin Netanyahu has decided on the full occupation of Gaza and is seeking approval from his security cabinet, which is set to meet. Follow the latest on the war in G...

Netanyahu’s reported decision to fully occupy Gaza is yet another declaration of intent to commit war crimes.

This brutal plan will only deepen suffering and entrench injustice. The UK must immediately denounce this plan and take action to protect Palestinian lives and uphold internationalΒ law.

So let me get this straight: Jack Smith investigates a guy who tried to overturn an election and incited an insurrection… and he’s the one being investigated?

We’re not a serious country. We’re a banana republic with better branding…but that’s going to shit, too.

Politics isn’t tribal anymore – teenagers take a whole new view Labour will let 16- and 17-year-olds vote: adding in the perspective of younger voters may bring much-needed refreshment to political life

"A recent Statista poll shows Gen Z (18–24-year-olds) overwhelmingly support progressive parties.

More plan to vote for the Lib Dems and Greens combined than for Labour, with just 15% backing Reform or the Conservatives."
