Whenever the talk turns to taxing the rich, the Reform or Tory always says that the rich will leave. BBCQT last night. They need reminding that their Brexit caused over 440 firms in the financial sector alone to move to the EU taking up to £1.3 trillion in assets with them, plus the jobs.

Farage’s partner - the fraud files bit.ly/3KVZpj4 which raise more questions about where she found £885,000 to buy Clacton house that Farage ‘misspoke’ to say he bought. Times says Brussels may look again at “his colourful two decades as an MEP between 1999 and 2020”

Under the current criminalisation of protest, even the famous campaigners that we celebrate in the UK would be at risk of arrest simply for peacefully protesting.

The right to protest is a cornerstone of our democracy; we cannot allow its restriction to go unchallenged.

I realize this isn't breaking news but it's insane that voting has begun and Chuck Schumer — leader of the Democratic party — is straight-up refusing to endorse the Democratic nominee for mayor, whose opponent is an alleged serial sexual abuser funded by Trump-allied billionaires

You can treat yourself to the superb HH songs on YouTube. Stuff like the Dick Turpin story - to Adam and the Ants obv, Charles II to Eminem, Mary I to Kate Bush. Always something for the parents as well as the children. No wonder Ghosts was so good - the same team.

Luckily, the kids know about the latter because of this gem from the original Horrible Histories team.

Genesis is only 19 years old, but when her mother was kidnapped by ICE, she was left with no choice but to care for her younger sister, pay the family’s bills, and do all this while going to school.

We cannot allow ICE to continue tearing families apart.
