Massive news for Leeds.

Tom Cruise, Taylor Swift, David Beckham, Barack Obama, Kylie Jenner, and Justin Bieber may all not be coming to your city on Monday... but I am .. and I promise not to sing.

So come along if you're free.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

Hospitals & police chiefs agree: speed cameras save lives. So why is Ford banning them?

Ford is putting kids & pedestrians at risk just to let reckless drivers off the hook.

Tell Ford to keep speed cameras & enforce speed limits. Sign here: www.progresstoronto.ca/petition-pro... #topoli #onpoli

Really, what a surprise.

If you think Johnson was bad just wait until Farage takes Number 10 and given the amount of Labour slagging going on out there, he will.

Politico: "Boris Johnson breached anti-sleaze rules (again) after failing to come clean about work he is said to have done for two firms without consulting regulators...Johnson sought to link firms up with foreign government representatives & entered into contracts without consulting the watchdog."

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

now a good time to remind folk that @countbinface.bsky.social got more votes from the public in the mayoral elections than Liz Truss did to become prime minister?

Teesside’s freeport, initiated in 2021 under Rishi Sunak, has cost £560 million far exceeding the standard £25 million allocation (22 times the standard £25m).
90% profits go to the private sector.
This clearly shows the UK model of State aid post-Brexit is utterly corrupt.
