Land grabs. 258 million acres of public land in the US are to be sold off for a pittance. In the UK over 5000 protected sites of natural beauty are to be built over by Labour. In both instances local communities are completely left out of the decision-making process. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

“This situation is an affront to the rule of law, at a time when we urgently need to defend it. It is simply not acceptable to have a situation where businesses do not know how to legally follow the law on really rudimentary matters like toilet provision.”

🌞🌞🌞 When I presented the Sunshine Bill to Parliament in January, ministers promised to bring proposals soon. Today, they’ve been true to their word. Soon, all new homes will include solar energy generation by default, saving people money on bills and cutting carbon emissions too. It’s a win-win. 1/4

These are the 3 leaders of the biggest opposition parties at Westminster - Kemi Badenoch (121 seats), Ed Davey (72 seats) & Stephen Flynn (9 seats) meanwhile Adrian Ramsey leads Greens with 4 seats. How often do they get reported compared to Nigel Farage (5 seats)? Time to demand fair coverage NOW

Would anyone in NW3, or thereabouts, like a free sofa? I love this sofa a great deal but it's just too large for our flat so we're getting a smaller one. I cannot emotionally accept the idea of it going to landfill.

Still waiting for Farage-mesmerised BBC to devote more than passing sentence to fact that Greens have more councillors than Reform and that Ed Davey's Lib Dems have all bit wiped out the Tories in their traditional shire heartlands....

It's been revealed that the Office for National Statistics, which prepares the UK's inflation data, has been using the wrong prices to estimate it. They have used list prices, not what most people pay. The result? Serious overstatement of inflation. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04...

Why is SKY TV broadcasting this awful Trump show from Michigan? Absolute nonsense and the video of the illegal deportations was disgusting especially as the audience cheered. He jeers at 'sleepy' Joe Biden but forget who fell asleep at the Pope's funeral.
