HMRC trial of child benefit crackdown wrongly suspected fraud in 46% of cases Exclusive: Almost half of families flagged as emigrants based on Home Office travel data were still living in UK

It's not as if the #HomeOffice isn't already known for its incompetence and the uselessness of its data, is it? And yet #HMRC decided to rely on it.

Stupid.

OPINION INTERESTING TIMES Did Liberal Feminism Ruin the Workplace? And if so, can conservative feminism fix it? Nov. 6, 2025

The answer is no - and the follow up comment is that this is a moronic headline.

It Turns Out, Hope Still Polls Well An unexpected victory, a surge for the Greens in the UK, one slightly overcaffeinated political commentator and a reminder that optimism still has teeth.

It’s been a brutal year for progressives - but @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's victory and the Green Party surge show that hope can still be strategy, not sentiment.

This is a long one.

Pour something strong.

Movember: Great Moustaches, Terrible Mental Health Infrastructure We’ve nailed the slogans and motivational posters. Now it’s time to build the bloody scaffolding underneath them

It’s been a helluva week here at Bearly Politics for the editorial team*.

Monday was kicked off with reflections on sexy moustaches and mental health - specifically how we can now much more easily say “it’s okay to not be okay”, access to actual help remains patchy.

*Me - I’m the editorial team.

Who can say, but I can’t help thinking it’s just lip service. Only time will tell.

Exactly, their “feels” are ridiculous.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Typical Tory corruption. They will never change but have no chance of being elected again. Vote Green for truth, honesty and no bribery.

Thatcher's policy from 1989 to privatise water has massive consquences today in 2025.

What has OFCOM done out of interest?

Doesn’t excuse their behaviour around Gaza and Palestine Action but that would most likely have been the same from the Tories as they are all bribed by Israel.

Astonishing that not a single word has been uttered in the media about Farage’s fraudulent income streams uncovered by the Belgian police in the EU Last week. NOT. A. PEEP.

Starmer does need bashing but I agree that the Tory legacy does too.

Good point Adam.

Yes the BiBiC is very biased and it's staff should be fired for their pro Israel propaganda.

Sounds to me like someone could end this mess by just presenting him with a policy practically identical to Obamacare, but call it "Trumpcare" and tell him it is an AMAZING ADVANCE and GREAT CHANGE from the EVIL OBAMACARE

Making them pay: Wielding influence in a world with no shame One of the upshots of US support for Israeli criminality over the past two years has been the cowardly position adopted by US supplicant states who feel wedged by realpolitik and morality.

"This Labor trio see their role as maximising Australia’s power in the global system, which to them means placing the US alliance above any other consideration. This is how you can ignore a genocide for two years and still manage to sleep at night—"
