Traffic-dominated streets, insufficient playgrounds. "Children are being driven indoors by a lack of safe spaces to play, move and socialise freely. We can’t just blame overprotective parents and screens" I'm lucky to live in a legacy LTN. My kids can play out. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

“Brexit has shattered confidence in Britain’s economy” And yet the politicians who championed Brexit still strut around like they’re owed power, rather than a heavy dose of proper scrutiny and public disgust for the damage they’ve collectively done.

Trump has wanted a police state with himself sitting at the top as its undisputed boss since his first administration. The standoff in L.A. shows how truly eager he is to turn America’s vast warmaking powers inward on his domestic foes and critics. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The UK government should long ago have exited X. The platform is not interested in appropriate moderation. It is a hotbed for extremism. This was clear nearly a year ago during the riots.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Trump's tariff drama: ✅ April 2: “I want tariffs!” ➡️ Wall Street melts down ❌ April 9: “Just kidding, I want leverage!” 🤡 Day 62 of 90: Zero deals, zero strategy, zero credibility. My fear is that when we hit Day 90 we're back to punishingly high and incoherent tariffs.

What I cannot work out is why Labour thinks saying "It was right to cut Winter Fuel Allowance last year and it's right to reinstate it this year because circumstances changed so much" Is better than "We listened to you, we got it wrong, we've fixed it, and we're sorry".

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

If you don’t think Reform are being directly aided and abetted by the British press, then ask yourself this: why has a question asked by a Reform MP at PMQs, about banning the burka, been front and centre in discussions on the BBC, LBC and Sky News for over a week?

More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.

Every so often I remember that interest rates were below 1% for 12 years. I realise this is not "news". Nor is it news that, during that decade-plus, we failed to use the potential of dirt-cheap borrowing to invest in infrastructure projects that we belatedly realised we desperately needed. Hmph.
