Useful, if concerning, information. "3-star general has never been nominated as chairman of joint chiefs. Trump also has claimed Caine donned a ‘MAGA’ hat during their 2018 meeting in Iraq, which is against military regulations." www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Not in this military. "The proportion of women in the military has risen only slightly from 11 per cent in 2021 to 11.9 per cent now, still well short of the target of 30 per cent by 2030." www.thetimes.com/uk/defence/a...

What's wrong with this? 1. Following Tory "scroungers" rhetoric (and policy) 2. Not learning from Australia's robodebt scandal 3. Not focusing on cleaning up the swamp of City of London #corruption 4. #Inequality of privacy www.ft.com/content/d943...

I write @yorkshirebylines.co.uk about how Trump's actions on Ukraine increasingly looks like a complete shift of the position of the US. For the UK there are huge challenges, given military and security integration, & fixed 20th-century mindsets #Security yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/world/g...

Yet another unsustainable rise in rents - time for the government to put a stop to rip off rents and stop landlords treating tenants as cash cows. Rent controls are long overdue and are badly needed to give all renters a home they can afford.

It's a fallacy to say that we have to choose between builders and blockers. We could choose to have to right sorts of development, in the right place, at the right price that would meet our housing needs while protecting our precious natural environment.

🏳️‍🌈 We’ve come so far, let’s not backtrack now! 📢 A new @ilgaeurope.bsky.social report shows a rise in anti-LGBTQ+ laws, with the far right spreading hate. 😔 This fuels bullying & discrimination, especially in Central & Eastern Europe. ✊ We must fight back. 💚 Love must win.
