I have been paralysed & a wheelchair user for 17 years. Since then, I have flown hundreds of times. I have never had worse service than this morning at Heathrow T4 Arrivals.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

You have to win a general election before you can do anything else. Starmer gets this AND achieved it.
He got more votes than Starmer did.

Heard the one about how UK services exports were booming after Brexit??

Another myth, sadly...

In 2014, half of Greece's electricity was generated by coal.

A decade later, that share has fallen to just 6%.

Shibboleths in political debate - really enjoyed this from Helen Lewis and Armando Iannucci #strongmessagehere

Strong Message Here - Yes or No? - BBC Sounds
Helen and Armando ask, is there any nuance in politics? It's a simple yes or no question!

Strong by Darren England to stick with on-field decision. How can Mykolenko avoid the ball at that distance? Arms in natural position for balance. Nice one, ref! #fuleve

I have more than 410k followers on X and fewer than 63k on BlueSky.

Yet the same tweet about Russian money supporting the Far Right in Britain has been shared fewer than 100 times on X and more than 1,300 on BlueSky.

That's how much of a propaganda tool X has become.

Blimey. One of Nigel Farage's biggest donors, and the owner of 55 Tufton Street, is helping the Russian military effort www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/w...

I’ve seen a lot of revolutions over the decades, and many have started off with overconfident actions like Erdoğan’s arrest of his main opponent, the Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu. Erdoğan is in trouble, and he’ll have to be really careful now.

@andrewmg9.bsky.social where's your "banner" photo, Mark?

Let's hope the "for now" is short-lived
As have been saying for some weeks, we need to listen to what Trump and Vance are telling us. In a generational move, they’re reorienting the United States towards Russia. “The West”, for now at least, is ceasing to exist or operate as a concept.

If only it were so simple/ rational!
The Tory leader yesterday, and Tory papers today, are having to fall in line behind Starmer trying to unite Europe in common purpose. That's basically it for brexit, isn't it?
March 4, 2025 at 9:46 AM
Classic!
Vance tells Fox the only US security guarantee in Ukraine will be the mineral deal.

And he describes British and French peacekeeping troops as “20k troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years”.

This proposal - that the Treasury should sell index-linked defined benefit pensions, ie annuities, directly to the pub- seems quite reasonable/sensible to me. Are there any obvious objections?
