As Trump menaces Greenland, this much is clear: the free world needs a new plan – and inspired leadership | Gordon Brown The idea that the liberal rules-based order can survive his presidency now seems complacent. This is a historic moment – and a time to act, says former UK prime minister Gordon Brown

Vision fine. Substance and interest not so much. It’s so depressing

What are the Conservatives afraid of? It’s a question without an answer, as a second Byline Times journalist was blocked from attending its annual party conference, Josiah Mortimer reports. subscribe.bylinetimes.com/e...

Scrapping the two-child limit on benefits would be the most targeted and cost-effective way for the Government to meet its aim of reducing child poverty.

Age UK highlights β€˜chronic shortage’ of homes suitable for last-time buyers The charity said a priority should be to ensure that mainstream housing is suitable for an aging population.

Report on housing from @age-uk.bsky.social - it seems we are drowning under reports that identify housing as an issue for older people and for society. Both in moving and in staying at home in later life. Time for #Government to act? www.standard.co.uk/business/mon...

That #Jenrick is a nasty piece of work. And I just saw my local MP (Bexhill and Battle) lapping it all up with a huge grin. Shame on the lot of them who bring total disgrace to us all

They all have their problems. I have found I get more news from Threads now and I don't want to return to X so will see how goes. Miss the old days of Twitter. Threads has some really annoying posts though!

Finding BlueSky not too good now for what I want from social media. Looking more at Threads for news and pics. Will not be posting so much here for a bit. See how goes

What do the immigration figures for the UK really show? Official figures indicate net migration is falling, yet concern among Britons is close to the highest it has been since polling began in 1974

Interesting to see the official figures. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
