There is a lot of misogyny involved with Reeves - same as Rayner. "Rachel from accounts" is a sure sign of somebody being a dick.
But seriously, who are these people who think Starmer is worse than Johnson or even a Truss? Gullible Facebook users?

The outrageous sanctioning of EU lawmakers and citizens in order to pressure democratically-elected European governments to change their laws shows just how intent the US government is on controlling Europeans' lives.
We must go into 2026 with eyes open.

The US can destroy a European's life with the swipe of a pen
This week's US sanctions against European lawmakers and privacy activists is a major escalation. And it shows the dangers of Europe relying on American economic infrastructure.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Possibly the most interesting revelation about Farage's school days is that he was a prefect. There is no way he could dismiss that level of dedication to fascism as mere banter.

The Government has just announced the first of their ‘nine new river walks’: a section of the River Mersey. Whilst we commend any new access, this is giving us the Boxing Day scraps, and is not the ambitious access legislation we have been promised.

Palestinian journalists, like Wael Al-Dahdouh, put their lives on the line to record & report Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Over 260 media professionals have been killed in occupied Gaza since Oct 2023.
The targeting of journalists is a war crime, and each death must be investigated as such.
