Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action".
This is real police state behaviour.

One of those things that you don't realise how good it is, until you get it back. A quieter world.

I'd imagine that a percentage of the independents are single issue, local people. But yeah, also some of them are too wild to join a party,

Our rigged system in a nutshell.

When the rich become richer, they can use their vast wealth to pour money into our democracy and rig the system to enrich themselves even more.

We must get Big Money out of politics.

One thing that slightly puzzles me.
The traditional left got a 4% increase - but the right stayed the same??
Seems to need a bit more detail...

England's water firms have paid out an astonishing Β£78,200,000,000 in dividends since privitisation - with 70% of investors currently being from overseas - Ian Overton in the @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Yet our bills go up? Why do we allow this con?!

Frantically learning all the wrong lessons.

People who want Labour policies ... well, perhaps they'll just have to vote Green.

πŸ”₯ This is important. Really important.

Nine months in power: how does Labour’s legislative plan look? Since the election, the government has been busy making new laws, but most people have not noticed. So, here’s a roundup of progress.

The government has been busy making new laws.

Lots of them. Across rail, education, planning, environment, housing...

But most people have not noticed. So, here’s a very handy roundup of progress/changes, including a full list of those new laws and which ones have already had royal assent. πŸ‘‡

I second using lactose free milk. If you only have one cat, then maybe the small 'cat milk' cartons are okay.
If you have more than one cat, then may be better to buy the normal 'human' 1 litre lacto-free cartons.

Despite lethal attacks on aid workers, the U.K. government continues to defend Israel by refusing to acknowledge such actions violate international law.

Throughout Israel’s latest killings of civilians, UK foreign secretary David Lammy has been in β€œregular contact” with his Israeli counterparts, the Foreign Office says.

Will the UK Foreign Office refer Israelis responsible for attacks on aid workers to the International Criminal Court?

No.

You can delude yourself that Labour have over four years to turn things around before the next GE.

But make no mistake. If Starmer signs a hasty bad deal with the USA that prevents Britain from getting closer to the EU again, it's OVER. No ifs or buts.

Then it becomes a waiting game until the end.
