3 private rocket companies is just fine but maybe we can have more than 2 internet service providers in most major American cities? I dunno I'm just spit balling here, but I think you'd see a dramatic quality of life improvement when companies start competing again.

Apparently this is the wrong answer, so Wes Streeting is launching another review by a team picked to deliver a more convenient answer 🙄

Whichever review gives the answer they want will be hailed as "gold standard science", the other will be ignored.
An independent taskforce *just* did a huge review of ADHD in England, and the conclusion was that it's "under-recognised, under-diagnosed and under-treated."

It is indeed interesting that the MSM are avoiding this, as I clearly recall the IRA hunger strikes being covered.

The biggest hunger strike in recent British history and the UK media wont report it. Their condition rapidly deteriorating.

And it sort of speaks volumes that no prominent Jewish voice was invited to prosecute Farage.

Doesn't it?
Zoe Williams coming into Nick Ferrari's show to prosecute Farage, instead of (say) Jonathan Freedland, is perfect casting to set up a winning defence for Farage.

Pastor Black: While I was in the middle of using the words of Jesus, they opened fire on me. It was so clear that they had been so poorly trained, or — the alternative — that they had been deliberately told to escalate violence against peaceful protesters.

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

Very telling tonight on Question Time how much the Labour minister absolutely did not want me to talk.

Every time I even began a sentence he started to try and distract me.

It's not going to work on anyone.

While I think most literate people can be insightful and articulate in text form, if given enough time to collect their thoughts, it is a rare talent to be able to do that verbally, in real time, while responding to interruptions, hostile jibes or pointed questions and STILL get your point across.

Fiona Bruce desperately tries to smear Zack Polanski and the Green Party as supporting open borders as if it is the worst thing in the world.

But 56% of the UK support Free Movement.

It is actually her demonisation of migration which is supported by only 20% of the UK.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.

The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.

And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

Wes Streeting claims there are too many diagnoses of anxiety, autism, and ADHD. But when people are oppressed by neoliberalism, and others cannot comply with its demand for uniformity, he is really seeking to destroy evidence of dissent for his toxic worldview. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/12...

Like MAGA, transphobes have gotten everything they wanted in 2025. And, like MAGA, they've never been more vitriolic toward the institutions they've captured, more disgusted by their wounded victims, more ready to plough forth into realms of cruelty that even they would have balked at a year ago.

This is only going to get much worse too, because these people don’t only want the minority groups they hate hounded and excluded. They want society to welcome them, praise them and tell them they are correct and beautiful. And that won’t ever happen, because they are repugnant and hateful.
