Reform said to be running cash for access, £10.000 per year for exclusive access to the leadership. That's who they want to appeal too, not you or I.

Une pause d'hydratation de 3 minutes chaque demie à la Coupe du monde 2026.

On parle de santé des joueurs, mais la clé pour comprendre la nouvelle, c'est ceci :

« The hydration breaks will also allow broadcasters to air more mid-game commercials, if they wish. »

Every game will pause for three minutes in the middle of each half, which will essentially split the match into quarters.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

I think this is a petition many of you can get behind.

It's similar to my petition earlier this year, but focuses on a specific aspect of media regulation: Ofcom rules around political news!

It's only been up a few days, but already has 379 signatures - but I'm sure we can easily increase that!

In an exclusive interview with The Washington Post, Bruna Ferreira, the mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew, who has been in ICE custody since Nov. 12, details her arrest, relationship with the Leavitts, and how the White House, in her own words, is spreading “disgusting” lies about her.

Some say it is illegal to arrest a sitting president. It is not. The president is subject to the law like everyone. That none have been arrested in the U.S. is only a policy internal to the DOJ based on the need for continuity of government operations--a policy that never imagined a criminal POTUS.
