Wonder what data Reform's DOLGE has access to and whether it breaches data protection laws.

Nigel Farage and the other 4 Reform MP's will be collecting their MP's Pension which is far more generous, all they care about is stealing every penny for themselves.

Genuinely good news. Extending FSM to all children on Universal Credit is long overdue. Will cut poverty and help improve concentration and health.

At least a quarter of children are in poverty in two-thirds of areas across the UK. Yet govts still obsessed with austerity, real wage/benefit cuts. Will children recover from physical/mental harms inflicted by political choices? Redistribute. Save the future. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

People want a smaller civil service and see it as less efficient. Think how many people could be employed and on PAYE with the profits being paid to shareholders then ask yourself is privatisation really effective use of public funds?

The USA is falling behind other countries in renewable tech. The attacks on their universities will lead to a brain drain. They can mask this in the short term by drilling more but are destroying their future prospects. www.scotsman.com/news/politic...

Imagine needing someone normalish like @rory-stewart.bsky.social or David Gauke to save the party and only having Farage tribute acts available.

Nobody "stole" jobs from the USA. Greedy industrialists moved the factories to parts of the world with cheaper labour costs.

In case you missed it ... Back during Covid, workers with a migration backgound recorded a poem, expressing their fear that we would forget how they helped to keep the UK alive during that crisis. People like Starmer clapped for them then. But now he just demonises them as "strangers". [SOUND ON 🔊]

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around. They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway. It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

Labour are making the mistake of seeing Reform as their main threat. The Tories are in an existential fight for the right with Reform. Labour should take the opportunity to deliver radical change. Failure to do so will see centrist voters move to other centrist parties threatening Labour's majority.

This is shocking and shows why NHS services should not be outsourced for long periods. These services must be brought in-house.

David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak led the most successful political party ever to its destruction. Cameron set the wheels in motion with Brexit, the rest kept moving further right into UKIP/Reforms ground.

Farage thinks people working for Reform led councils in DEI or climate roles should look for another job. Think he will find that running a council doesn't give you a right to break UK laws covering these things.

Labour (UK) need to move away from divisive politics to appease the right and put more distance between themselves and Reform. While last night's local elections were mainly in Tory strongholds, the fact Reform decimated the Tories and are big winners should be a warning.

Give money to a normal person and they will spend it on what they need and maybe build a bit of savings. Give it to a rich man and it moves offshore where no-one can touch it.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague
