Tory immigration policy - ruinous, prejudiced madness.
Tory Brexit ideology - ruinous, prejudiced madness.

Why Labour is killing itself and the country to try to soothe the unsoothable rightwing media is beyond me. Tell the goddam truth. Publish the damage. Only then can you start to fix it.

Wang Fuk Court is a subsidised housing estate built in 1983 to the north of Hong Kong Island.
Nearly 40% of residents are aged 65 or above, according to the 2021 census

Seven of eight buildings within the complex went up in flames

128 confirmed dead, 300 still missing. Horrific.

People are right to call out the 6 unelected Lords who are trying to thwart the Assisted Dying Bill by tabling hundreds of amendments.

This Bill was passed by democratically elected MPs and is supported by around 3/4 of Brits!

Badenoch: "HIKING TAXES TO PAY FOR WELFARE!"

Er. Yes. You see, you take money from people who have money, and use it to pay for things for everyone and help people who have too little money. That's... the whole point?

Is he ever this rude to the male reporters? Or are they too scared to ask more difficult questions?
Would it kill somebody to say “Nancy is not stupid.” It pains me to see the WH press corps just accept the abuse. Sends the wrong image to Americans and the world IMHO.

Headline on The World at One just now:

"Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap".

Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?

This has been happening for years and instead of doing anything to protect children successive governments have made the situation worse. This isn't just on councils. It is part of failings on a State level.

Was there any coverage of the recent record warmth in both the Arctic and Antarctic? Multiple global datasets now confirm these records, and I think it's really quite striking.

Here's some very quick plots showing NOAAGlobalTempv6 data from October too. And see my earlier posts.

The fact that Johnson has, and probably still will, get away scot-free for his criminally bad decisions during the pandemic is disgusting.

He should be held accountable and prosecuted personally, alongside Hancock and other Tories.

The Donald Trump peace plan is nothing of the sort. It takes Russian demands and presents them as peace proposals, in what is effectively for Ukraine a surrender ultimatum
