Star nails it again

Meeting our manifesto promise SEVEN months early. Labour is delivering 🌹

It won't capture the headlines but Labour has met its pledge for 2m extra hospital appointments. A close relation is having cataracts treated 5 days after diagnosis. Unsexy but important stuff.

If you’re struggling to write a poem for a loved one for Valentine’s Day, take heart: even the great poets had to start somewhere.

Children are being exempted from the government's obscene ban on refugees becoming citizens. Progressives should keep pushing. Concessions are possible. Write to your MP. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

A reminder that you don't need to pay for Audible audiobooks or Kindle books if you are in the UK. Instead, borrow audiobooks and ebooks via your local library.

Loving the replies to this. And, yes, am now checking how I'm storing batteries...

Highly amused to discover that folk are now referring to Teslas as "Swasticars"

This week in 1993: QPR and Man City gave us the most appalling 20 seconds of association football since records began. These men are heroes. We thank them for their service.

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

Can someone print this up in poster size and deliver to Number 10 please? www.ft.com/content/44b2...

Why, in 2025, is a national newspaper still putting this twisted maniac* on its front page? *and his air fryer recipes
