Gutted that Robert Redford has died. Spy Game is one of my favourite films. It still feels topical and relevant 25 years later, and a lot of that was down to him

If your news content teaches you that Keir Starmer is somehow personally responsible for a woman committing a crime, pleading guilty, and going to prison then it's probably not news at all, it's propaganda.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations
When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Americans don't understand that the rest of the world just laughs when they claim to be the country of 'freedom'. They get about 4 days off work a year, no maternity or sick leave, no free healthcare, democracy is owned by billionaires, you arent even free to cross a street.
