Plan to fix confusing railing in Downpatrick welcomed
Residents were ‘baffled’ at the construction of new steps at Lynn Doyle Place in Downpatrick that led to a metal barrier, but the Department for Infrastructure has committed to amending the railings.

The purpose of a Reform or Brexit vote isn't personal happiness.
It's the desire to make happier people as unhappy as they are. That represents a win.

I predict that soon, the people of Red Hall & Lingfield (Darlington) will feel the fruits of their voting labours, if nation-wide evidence from Reform-led councils is anything to go by .. a big barrel of abject failure to govern and serve the local people!
It's one election, but the threat to Labour in NE England is huge.
The leadership of progressive parties won't unite to stop the threat from Reform. The only chance is voters, many holding their noses, put an X next to the party best placed to defeat Reform.
Not optimistic.

Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any government to say who those rights should & should not apply to. Because none of us then has rights, just privileges that can be taken away by those in power

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

This was from February. I posted it because of something that Brit Hume said recently.
Has Putin made a single meaningful concession since the start of the war?
He refuses to accept ceasefire, and continually demands territory his military has not been able to conquer despite years of trying.
