2024 was Europe’s hottest year on record, leading to fatal flooding in Valencia and dangerously dry spells in the continent’s southeast, research reveals

Out of 55.2m UK adults 17.8m have annual income of less than ÂŁ12,570. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. FOUR Britons have more than 20m people combined. Failure of economic/political policy. Govts still squeeze the poor. Good society can't be built on economic injustice.

Bonhoeffer a pastor was executed for standing against Hitler. He wrote: When a madman is tearing through the streets in a car, I can, as a pastor who happens to be on the scene, do more than merely console or bury those who have been run over. I must jump in front of the car and stop it.

Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

Record 4.5m UK children are living in poverty. They are likely to face health, educational and employment problems. Yet govts hit the poor - low wages, two child benefit cap, disability benefit cut, unchecked profiteering, poor housing. Save the future. Demand redistribution.

Daisy Cooper says we should tax big businesses to fund services #BBCQT And that the fastest way to grow the economy is to renegotiated Boris Johnson and David Frosts's Brexit trade deal which since Brexit has forced British businesses to fill our over 2 billion pieces of paper in red tape

What a fabulous example of great leadership and a stark contrast to the values of the popularist far right and others www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Is the rise in mental health illnesses proven to be linked to the rise in drug taking and if so is it further justification to be harder on illegal drugs?

Monster fishing vessels are hoovering up whole ecosystems in UK waters that are supposed to be protected. I just signed a petition calling on the new government to save our seas from destructive fishing, by banning supertrawlers in UK Marine Protected Areas. Will you join me?

I just read something that infers Reform gets a lot of followers via TikTok how many Bluesky followers are on TikTok too. Answer yes or no

In vast areas of the US, the sentiments expressed in this wonderful letter from a British man about why it's a privilege to pay tax to enable the National Health Service to run would see him probably certified as insane and labelled a "socialist".

A report from the Press Recognition Panel revealed that Britain’s press regulation system is not fit for purpose. Biased coverage and press abuse all too often go unpunished. The powerful are shielded from scrutiny. The role of the fourth estate – which democracy depends on – is left unfulfilled.
