Pope Leo calls for news agencies to stand as bulwark against "post-truths," lies and manipulation Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

โ€œThe ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

โ€œI just exchanged contracts on a house that [sic] Iโ€™ll be living there.โ€
Repeats, โ€œIโ€™ve bought a house in Clacton.โ€

Farage clearly stated he has a beneficiary interest in the property. If he provided the purchase costs, then he is the deemed owner - _exactly_ as Rayner was - and owes stamp duty.

The billionaire press barons must be having a right laughโ€ฆ

Here we are distracted & arguing over asylum seekers (0.2% of the population)

Meanwhile, billionaires (just 0.0002% of the population) hoard more wealth than half the UK

Immigration isnโ€™t draining us

Inequality is.

Welfare vote rebellion threatens Starmerโ€™s hold on his party Next weekโ€™s vote on a controversial plan to cut ยฃ5bn from disability and sickness benefits is proving to be a moral red line for many Labour MPs

One Labour MP told me: โ€œI canโ€™t support a policy that targets the most vulnerable in society. Itโ€™s just not very Labour.โ€ Another said: โ€œThis isnโ€™t just bad politics, itโ€™s wrongโ€

Open all of the crossings.ย Let in lifesaving aid at scale, from all directions.

Lift restrictions on what & how much aid we can bring in. Ensure our convoys arenโ€™t held up by delays and denials.

Release the hostages. Implement the ceasefire.

Let us work.

UK shoots itself in the foot again

We need growth, why wouldn't you decide to take advantage of another country's short term idiocy

United Utilities in 'use less water' warning as reservoir levels drop United Utilities says reservoirs at 69% of capacity, compared to more than 90% this time last year.

United Utilities in use 'less water' warning as reservoir levels drop.

UU has 205 criminal convictions. It loses 175bn litres to leaky pipes, built no new reservoirs, paid excessive dividends, neglected Investment.

Wants people to pay more for less.

No national plan for water security.

After by-election and local election losses PM Keir Starmer says he will go โ€œfurther and faster on the changeโ€.

NO. Must change policies.

People concerned about poverty, winter fuel payment cut, high water/energy bills, profiteering, disability cuts, poor infrastructure.

Must end Tory policies.

Sex offenders to be denied asylum rights in new law Asylum seekers placed on the sex offenders register will be denied the right to stay in the UK.

Controversial opinion, but this is a bad idea. It arguably violates the Refugee Convention, which has very limited exceptions for refusing to process claims. It'll act as a de facto death penalty for many, which violates numerous laws. There's something more though. 1/
