“Low-income households in Britain are now 27 per cent poorer than their equivalents in France and a staggering 60 per cent poorer than those in Ireland.” 🔥 www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

Police gave an update on the horrific incident that happened on Water Street www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

Golden hour, Paphos Cyprus, taken on IPhone.

Patrick Butler and Josh Halliday (The Guardian) uncovered how vulnerable British carers were taken to court for accidentally claiming carer’s allowance while working part-time – even though many had tried to report their earnings to the Department of Work and Pensions.

Behold! A Puffin is sat in your feed. Adorable.

The fascism playbook hasn't changed—only the speed we're flipping through its chapters.

40 years ago a horrific fire at Bradford City's Valley Parade ground claimed the lives of 56 people. It took less than four minutes for a small fire to become a raging inferno. Warnings had been ignored.

An anniversary worth marking. I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.

⚠️ ‘Resolute 1850’: Reform UK Ltd’s MAGA plan to turn Britain into Little America Right-wing US interests are pushing a plan to bend the UK to their will, ‘DOGE’-style – in Farage’s Reform UK they have an eager little helper By Ann Moody @annaubert.bsky.social

🔥 “There’s something wrong in this country… everything has gone up but wages… how many yachts and houses does one person need? — They want us to stay poor, stay hidden, and die silently.” 🇺🇸 #FightTheOligarchy H/T @violadavis.bsky.social

Immigration is not the problem it’s now widely believed to be. Brexit is much more of a problem than it’s reported to be. So how can govt achieve growth, fix public svcs and deal with the cost of living if fear of Reform means it won’t be honest with us about these 2 elephants in the room? It can’t.

A majority now believe #Brexit was a mistake but the govt has so far been reluctant to acknowledge it. Andy Burnham believes Labour must tackle the damage of Brexit head-on – and pin the blame squarely on the likes of Farage and those who backed it. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/and...

Hey British media, It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning. Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

we're so cooked. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQVY...

‘Labour must start speaking about extent of Brexit damage’ – Andy Burnham www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/and...

REFORM BACKS BREXIT! LABOUR BACKS BREXIT! BUT THE PEOPLE WANT BREXIT UNDONE! Starmer raised a finger to the majority who want Brexit undone. The electorate raised a finger to Starmer. Stop pratting about, prime minister, GET BREXIT UNDONE!

www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater... Hairy journey home today, the moor is ablaze which is very unusual for Yorkshire but we have not had any rain ☔️ I never thought I’d say this but we need more rain.

“US aggression versus EU membership: The UK must choose stability over Trump’s chaos.” 👏👏👏

The same Tony Blair has been paid to advise oil rich autocratic states including Azerbaijan, UAE and Kazakhstan This should be included in *every* story about his net zero comments www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

A Horrible Truth That Shouldn’t Be….

Barry Blitt’s cover for this week’s issue, “The First Hundred Days.” #NewYorkerCovers nyer.cm/ysrCZ47

Can't cook, dress, eat, or toilet unaided? Soon, that won’t qualify you for help. 1.3 million disabled people face losing support. Read that again. #PIP 👇😞

“I try and find images with a bit of soul – a hint of magic”

This is something I genuinely do not understand. Why does Labour not do something about it now?

“Britain is in the grip of an economic and social crisis. Corporate greed, the relentless pursuit of unsustainable growth, and the misguided attempt to replicate the economic model of the United States have driven inequality to new extremes.” 👏👏👏 💯

🔴The Sheer Scale of the COVID ‘VIP Lane’ PPE Scandal Has Still Not Been Revealed Five Years On New evidence published by the COVID Inquiry suggests that at least 20 more politically-connected suppliers received contracts worth £1 billion bylinetimes.com/2025/04/16/c...

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

The mainstream media is letting the country down. Badly. If you support Bylines Network as a citizen journalism (ie democratic and pluralistic) alternative... ...then please chip in! We're changing the system. 👇

Narrator: History would prove he had that right.

Who knew about Trump's plans to reverse his tariff policy, and who benefitted?

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.
