It's amazing how the same politicians can describe VAT on public school fees as an attack on aspirational parents and then argue that free school meals for poor kids are a waste of money

People who thought Born in the USA was a patriotic anthem and were happy about it are upset Springsteen got political ...

💯 this

I presume that Matt Forde getting the 6:30pm R4 slot is the BBC idea of maintaining balance, by offering an alternative to funny.

“A Busy, Busy Day at the Airport” By Ruben Bolling Genius. Click in.

“We sent her back into the lab to repeat it, and she came back the next week with results that were equally good." "And all of us were just sitting gasping like, ‘wow’.”

As someone who knows Runcorn pretty well, burqa wearing is the least of its problems Reform UK… they can always go lower

Did they consider this principle from the other side of the fence prior to ravaging 84 sovereign nations since 1945?

No English MP wants English Independence. Not one. Any Party. Wonder why?

Who do you want to decide the government of #Scotland?

Just BUILD Falkirk Town Hall! Forget about the stupid critics! I LIVED in Finnieston, Glasgow, in 1990. It was shite. In 2025 thanks to the SEC Hydro, it's now one of the coolest spots, in the UK. New Venues and Cultural Spaces WORK and HELP solve poverty! Enriching areas enriches lives.

Gotta love the University System of Georgia. After teaching there 20 years, they denied me their paltry retiree health benefits (i.e., their ONLY retiree benefits really) because, *after being asked*, I agreed to teach an added year part-time. Because I wasn't full time upon retirement -- nada.

If you look at this video, notice the roadworks and think that’s the most important thing then we can’t help you……

I wonder why every aspect of Paul Doyle’s life isn't being printed in the media? I mean, normally we’d know every political opinion he had… Oh. Now it makes sense.

So there you have it. My ex-publishers who last year stopped paying me for the seven books I'd written for them, have today gone back on their promise that some of the money that they owe me and their other authors would come through. I should have guessed.. www.thebookseller.com/news/unbound...

Can't imagine why Gerry Adams chose to sue the BBC for libel in a Dublin court rather than a British one.

🔴 BREAKING: UN inquiry finds Russia committed crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Kherson region, Ukraine—targeting civilians to spread terror, violating international law. Details, interviews, and more forthcoming SOON. Link to press conference ⬇️

Given that both Boris Johnson and Michael Gove confessed to cocaine use, the co-ordinated string of Tweets from Tory frontbenchers attacking Sadiq Khan's entirely sensible call for cannabis decriminalisation are the height of hypocrisy

You mean the intellectuals from Harvard and Yale that bombed it into the Stone Age ?

If you're still on Twitter, this is what you're arguing with.

We can keep discussing these societal issues year after year, but nothing is likely to change. Instead, it’s up to you to take proactive steps to protect yourself and your family and live with the reassurance that you can protect your life if the threat arises—plain and simple.

A bold new plan to end rough sleeping by 2030. We’ll remove the need for someone to be seen sleeping rough before getting help and put prevention at the heart of our response.

All the people complaining that the police have said the Liverpool driver was white British are the same people who made it necessary for the police to say he was white British.

'That's a simple question, minister.' @benkentish.bsky.social presses Labour's Karin Smyth on whether the government will keep its promises to Alan Bates and the other Post Office staff affected by the scandal.

Trump is playing golf again. Why hasn’t DOGE shut down these expensive, taxpayer funded golf trips?

This is SO weird. Click bait? A joke that got out of hand? A mock up article that somehow got published? What happened?

The Telegraph has deleted the seemingly made-up article titled “We earn £345k but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays” featuring “Al & Alexandra Moy” from its website... but, if interested, you can access an archived version here. h/t @alanrew.bsky.social archive.is/s1GPF

The latest in a long line of terrible humans seeing if they can destroy people lives before asking if they should. If only sociopaths were seen as bad instead of rewarded.

Horrific murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in the middle of DC. This kind of violence is illegal, immoral, inexcusable and of course - if the chant of ‘free Palestine’ by the alleged shooter is true - solves nothing and helps zero Palestinians.

Victory for wild camping on Dartmoor was just the start. On Monday we’ll be rallying to call for a Right to Roam Act to extend the public’s right to responsibly access nature. Come join us on Haytor on Dartmoor, details below: www.eventbrite.com/e/dartmoor-r...

But the Zionist scum who’ve served in the IDF are free to walk the streets

Four years ago, Boris Johnson introduced legislation authorising torture and murder by the intelligence services. Now he's arguing that Starmer has 'turned Britain into a police state'.

Starting to think cops driving literally everywhere has warped their brains
