A new law in England now bans restaurants from offering free bottomless refills of full-sugar soft drinks.

Chains like Nando’s now have signs stating that customers can have one glass of Coca-Cola Classic, while refills remain available for Coke Zero and Diet Coke.

From the other place.

This makes perfect sense in terms of saving Nottingham Forest from relegation. You do start to wonder, why on Earth did you decide to sack Nuno? I hope Marinakis has learned from all of this.

He claims his punch was a reaction, but the killers’ attack was entirely unprovoked. He seems to be saying that he was a racist as a youth as if that is some kind of excuse for killing someone. No. If he wants parole, then tell the truth, but he can’t, he’s a murdering coward.

Who Link was here & how he formed site culture, insisting on alt text & accessibility & disability justice, insisting on standing with trans people, mutual aid, irreverent shitposting, shows exactly that this culture of early bluesky that forged the platform is the opposite of what the team wants.

Farage is saying all teachers are Marxists. They're not. They just teach that we should care for one another. But that offends his fascist instincts. The result is he is turning on a profession that teaches about compassion and empathy - because he loathes it. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/10...

Nigel Farage’s declaration of war on teachers is a war on compassion, empathy and kindness

We have built a society in which people of different skin tones, religious backgrounds & cultures get along, share power, work alongside each other, procreate with each other, recognise the each other’s humanity and democratic rights. It is a STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT OF WORLD HISTORIC PROPORTIONS.

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

The Green Party is polling higher than ever before. Our membership is growing rapidly.
And every single day we are surging.

Where Labour have failed, the Left must be ready to take on Reform.
