Starmer regarding Reform’s former leader in Wales, Nathan Gill: “The member for Clacton & his deputy worked alongside someone who took money to spread Putin’s propaganda. They have serious questions to answer about what they knew”

Charles I addresses Parliament, 1642.

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t. Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

Absolutely, citizen, not subject!

Not quite the same as the experience at Versailles. Especially, if you are there when the royal family is in residence.

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

Looking at past monarchs, I'm not so sure. If Edward had not abdicated when he did I'm not sure we would have such found memories of the royal family. I prefer an elected ceremonial Head of State like Ireland.

I think we need to have proper conversations about the monarchy. France has higher tourist revenue for their historic royal buildings than we do for our royal family. You can actually walk around Versailles; we can only peer through the gates at Buckingham Palace.

A reminder that Israel has used the dead bodies of Palestinians as bargaining chips for decades.

Last year Mustafa Barghouti explained that Israel is holding over 500 bodies.

Day 1330 of Russia's war. Remember Putin's aims were to take Kyiv, install a puppet "president", take all Ukraine's ports, energy fields, and leave a rump 'state' next to Poland.

How well and bravely Ukraine has fought. We MUST see this through to a just peace.

At last! Someone brave enough to answer the question. The is no place for the monarchy in a modern democracy. You cannot have equality of opportunity if the position of King (and other royal roles) is hereditary

A quarter of the average UK energy bill last year was profit for the big energy companies.

Meanwhile, almost three million households in England suffer fuel poverty.

No one should be choosing between heating and eating while energy companies rake in billions.

Boris Johnson gave parents 'false hope' over schools reopening, Gavin Williamson tells Covid inquiry Watch as the former education secretary gives evidence at the inquiry, which is focusing on the impact of the pandemic on children and young people.

Gavin Williamson has described the decision to open, then close, primary schools on 4 January 2021 as “panicked”.

I would describe it as idiotic.

Being reliant on X for formal public interest communication is not viable.

Danish police (finally) leaves X and creates their own channel for formal communication and announcements.

What’s that Jeremy? Your private healthcare couldn’t save your life but the NHS could?

People need to think long and hard about voting for Reform, Farage openly says we need insurance based healthcare, but what about people who can’t afford it?

They die. It’s simple.

Interesting.

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

That means Biden secured the release of 83% of all hostages — a fact you’d barely hear in the headlines. If anyone’s earned the title of “Peace President,” it’s #46 — not the guy bombing fishing boats in international waters and unleashing masked agents on Americans.
