The Chancellor did not need to concentrate so much of her fiscal consolidation on welfare. Extending the freeze in personal tax thresholds by just a single year would have saved almost as much (£3.9 billion in 2029-30) and would have been shared across 24 million households.

Shocking & shameful from Trump. Is there not a single journalist in the White House with the courage to step up and point out Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous dictator?

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

I don't understand the political timidity when it comes to regulating social media. These are companies that have decimated the free press, fuelled race riots on our streets, undermined the mental health of our children, paid little tax and are now undermining liberal democracy itself.

A psychotic billionaire bought a social media platform and turned it into a cesspool of white supremacists but sure, the people going elsewhere to post are the problem.

In 1988 there were 350k cases of polio reported. In 2018 there were just 33. That’s what the 2 polio vaccines did: banished the disease from most of the planet. This is utterly insane. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/h...

New figures from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation: - 7 million families are going without essentials, including 5.4 million without enough food. - 86% of those on Universal Credit, and 93% of those with UC deductions, are affected. Overgenerous benefits, #Dispatches?

People give them a lot of shit but I think it's kind of incredible that Telegraph columnists have figured out a way to get paid for writing fan fiction about British politics.

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

At some point we have to talk about the obvious: Trump is not forming an administration, but a terrorist regime based on nepotism, criminality and espionage to destroy the United States.

Jeez. Boris Johnson is now on French radio saying “We forget all this now because it was two or three years ago but when we had the pandemic, thanks to Brexit we had the chance to do the vaccinations in England much earlier” I’ve debunked this absolute boll**** many times👇

Researchers say Twitter changed its algorithm to promote Elon Musk and Republican posts leading up to the election. "The date at which [the spike] in engagement occurs coincides with Elon Musk's formal endorsement of Donald Trump on 13th July 2024." eprints.qut.edu.au/253211/
