Starmer says "Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, and the US has taken action to alleviate that threat” So the British government supports what is an illegal act under international law. No UN mandate, no declaration of war. When China invades Taiwan we can say nothing.

The excuse is to “curb migration” but the real reason, clear to anyone cynical enough to be even slightly distrustful of State motivations, is entirely obvious — the police and security services want them, to enable the harassment of people who don’t fit. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/06/22/i...

“Is this the politics of playground children?” “We’ve got the most incredible weapons in the hands of absolute idiots.” Caller Roger doesn’t hold back in his reaction to US strikes on Iran.

Personally I do not think you should trust the advice of a “writer” who is willing to steal words and livelihoods from other writers and is happy to burn down the planet just to publish a blog piece justifying her actions

It is certainly desirable to marry later than at the age of 20, but we know nothing of your position in life and your duties at home. It is impossible to advise you, in the dark on these matters as we are.

With record temperatures and very little rain before Summer has even begun, we need to start taking better care of our natural world for wildlife and climate. An easy start is to ban lifeless plastic gardens 📝 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

"A highly original book about the pursuit of romantic ideals and about how memory works – or doesn’t. It is written in an extraordinarily vivid, at times almost stream-of-consciousness, prose that brilliantly mirrors the unusual life it describes." TLS Judges, 2025 @littletollerbooks.bsky.social

“From November 2026, people would need to score a minimum of four points in at least one daily activity to qualify. Needing help to get in or out of the shower, or supervision to use the toilet are measures that don't meet this threshold” Shocking www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

I want to see non-disabled people shouting about the disability benefit cuts. If you spoke out about trans rights, abortion rights, or migrant rights in recent weeks? Good on you! If you aren’t doing the same for disabled people, ask yourself why.

I’ve been making my way through the Welfare Reform Bill and this paragraph on the gov.uk website is genuinely disgusting. Receiving a decent disability benefits rate “encourages sickness”, does it? Funny, I thought it just enabled severely ill and disabled people to eat.

You say: "UK borrowing rises to £17.7bn". More accurately you could say: "£17.7bn of money that the government has previously issued is now being held by the private sector in savings in the form of interest-bearing gilts".

From the 1950's to the 1970's the UK built 5 million council houses, these were built almost entirely by builders employed and paid by Local Government Authorities. It is what we need, no more middle men billionaire thieves, just the Government doing what needs to be done.

(1/2) With a heavy heart, I have written to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as a whip. Whilst I will continue to support the government in delivering the change the country so desperately needs, I cannot vote in favour of the proposed reforms to disability benefits.
