Corporate profits will increase. NHS budget will buy less. People to pay higher taxes or face public service cuts.

To avoid bullying UK Govt must produce cheaper generic drugs.

Independence is about giving Scotland a fresh start - and a chance to build an economy that works for us.

A future where all decisions are made by people who live here.

I’m in the stunning National Portrait Gallery this morning, where I will set out more at 9am.

Man arrested for holding up a magazine in public. A magazine that can be purchased in 10,000 newsagents. That it’s publishers and editor haven’t been arrested for.

What a Kafkaesque state the UK is in.

The only fix is to dissolve the Union.

Nah, the numbers don't add up. Despite being subject to a vast smear campaign Corbyn got far higher numbers than any other leader since Blair in 97. Starmer got lucky with his (pretty poor) numbers and has done nothing but compromise - and refugees are arguably worse off now than under the Tories.

The more America sees and hears from Stephen Miller, the worse it is for Trump and MAGA.

He's a total freak and loser, repulsive to the majority, and he's the shadow President and currently the most powerful, unelected person in the country.

What a vile sexist tweet.

I am pretty damn sure that the vast majority of Swedish people do not approve of Musk’s infantile commentary.

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

Tories offer £47bn austerity - cuts to disability benefits, PIP for mental health claimants, social housing, civil service, regulators, green economy, accompanied by anti-migrant rhetoric.

Won't hike taxes the rich or curb profiteering.

The nasty party heading for the dustbin of history.
Tories confirm plans to cut PIP for mental health claimants
The Conservatives have unveiled plans to cut spending on welfare and scrap environmental subsidies

Politicians are using Ukrainian refugees as a political football.

The Welsh Conservative leader says he is against Wales' Nation of Sanctuary policy.

But this wasn't always his position...

It seems his morals have changed because he is worried about Reform taking his votes.

He’s a banker, did anyone expect to go against the interests of banks?

And who are the biggest funders of fossil-fuels and make massive profits from doing so?

You guessed it: banks
