This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

Nigel Farage has not Tweeted about Michelle Mone once.

And in 2023 when the scandal first came up he said it wasn't a big deal.

He's not anti-Establishment he supports it more than anyone.

The effect of Donald Trump's largest tax cuts in history.

Only for the richest 10%, everyone else pays more.

Oh and Healthcare, Education and Public Services are completely destroyed too.

The sanctions will mean that both men are banned from entering Britain and prohibit any financial institutions based in the UK from dealing with them.

Times reporting UK will sanction far-right Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezel Smotrich.

Smotrich approved expansion of West Bank settlements. Has said he wouldn't allow "a grain of wheat" into Gaza. Ben-Gvir has advocated the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza.

While I welcome the action from the UK government…

It will never been forgotten that it took this many deaths and atrocities, and a UN warning that 14,000 babies are at risk of starving to death for them to take a stand

Utterly shameful.

Rachel Reeves’ own constituency Labour party have voted unanimously to ask her to abandon her plans to cut disability benefits.

Seems like hanging the disabled out to dry is not what they thought they would be getting when they gave up their time to help get her elected.

Welfare cuts for the poor/disabled were not in Labour's election manifesto.

PM Keir Starmer said: “those with the broadest shoulders should bear the heavier burden”. Then hit the poorest.

Biggest cuts since those imposed by Tories in July 2015.

There is no economic/moral justification.

Why austerity is a political choice not an economic necessity

As Wales has never been anything other than a loyal and quiet Labour voting part of the UK, UK Government’s have never had any reason to give it attention.

The UK Gov’s respective attitudes to Wales and Scotland are the same as a parent who has one obedient child and one that causes a fuss.

You inevitably spend all your time focusing on the problem child.

The reason that they devolved the Crown Estate to Scotland in the first place was because of the independence referendum in 2014.

It was an attempt to mollify the Scots. It is the exact same reason that UK Labour have decided to base the GB energy HQ in Aberdeen.

I am sorry but this is ridiculous.

Yes, devolving the Crown Estate would have complications but they were clearly not insurmountable when it came to the Scots.
