This is SO IMPORTANT. Why is this not covered in regular media? I really, really don’t want to subscribe to the POV that the media is complicit with the government. But it’s pretty damn hard when we need to rely on Peter Stefanvovic to highlight this issue. It is at the heart of the NHS probs

Today, MAGA is losing it over this video of Pete Hegseth SLAMMING Trump. “All bluster, very low substance… he’s an armchair tough guy. He said that John McCain is not a war hero yet he sought his own five military deferments.” RT to ruin Trump’s day!

Reminder: UK police still report rape victims who are undocumented migrants to immigration. That scares victims, so they don’t report. The only safe place for these rape victims is A&E. Because Home Office has rejected all calls for an information firewall between police & immigration Thread 1/

Need to take this seriously. Musk issuing threats against the UK government and those in it shouldn't be seen as a joke but a very serious threat to national security.

"I see absolutely no grounds for believing that one can get exactly those bits one wants while taking none of the others which do not happen to suit one". Today's quiz question (no googling!): which politician said this about the promises being made by Leave campaigners in the Europe referendum?

I get it that the govt wants to continue with the Tory legacy of Brexit & Austerity because of commitments it made in the election campaign, but is it really necessary to persist with shit in our chalk streams too? www.thetimes.com/article/6c5f...

Incoming #PutinMuskAdministration proclamations about conquering sovereign nations such as Greenland, retaking the Panama Canal, or suggesting Canada should become our 51st state undermine our opposition to Russia's agression in Ukraine or any future invasion of Taiwan by China. That's the point.

“Thames Water intentionally diverted millions of pounds pledged for environmental clean-ups towards other costs including bonuses and dividends.” I almost wrote ‘unbelievable’, but this is only too believable.

This is unutterably stupid. Political donations should have been reformed YEARS ago. We don't want a knee-jerk "stop-Farage" law; we just want a democracy that isn't a corruptible plaything of the rich, whether it's Lord Sainsbury, Frank Hester or Elon Musk. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations. This would, by necessity mean no donations from private companies; PLCs, LTDs, whatever.”
