Rat-infested Dartmoor prison may never reopen, pays Prince William’s Duchy of Cornwall £1.5m a year. Public purse pays cost of upkeep. The Duchy owns many assets; exempt from corporation tax, and capital gains tax Any chance of UK Govt looking at this welfare ... thought not. archive.ph/UnpkE

It's been quite something to watch supposedly 'patriotic' British newspapers actively cheerleading on a foreign administration that is openly working against our interests.

Remember when Matt Hancock & Nadine Dorries (now ex MPs) chose to appear on TV realty shows for mega loot, and for weeks neglected their Parliamentary duties. That is still permitted. Must ban all second jobs for MPs. Must serve people, not their bank balance. leftfootforward.org/2025/01/mps-...

2024: Tim Montgomerie on joining Farage's Reform, "The deceit, the gap between what was promised and what was delivered was so great" 2016: Nigel Farage, "The worst case scenario of leaving the EU is economically better than where we are today" So he swaps one set of deceit/gap for another 🤷‍♂️

Perhaps tonight is a good time to remember that about 19% of NHS staff in England are non-British nationals. They are some of the most hardworking & caring members of our society. They look after our sick & vulnerable & during the pandemic risked their lives to keep us safe

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network. As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.

RIP John Prescott. Renowned as a fighter and really tough chap. Of course we in The Conservative Party also had an MP who was a bit of a rugged ‘bruiser’. Step forward Mark Field. Remember when he took on a violent protestor and came out on top. Hard. 👊🥊

Wow. According to this image it looks like nurses - whose real-terms pay has declined by at least 20% since 2010 are responsible for driving up UK borrowing. Thanks for clearing that up BBCNews

Prescott also understood what some on the left refuse to countenance - that to be of any real help those you say you support, you must be in government, and that sometimes means compromising your principles.
