Ukraine fought alongside US in Iraq; never demanded minerals
As the two fight over a minerals deal, we review the little-remembered sacrifices that Ukraine made when fighting in the U.S.-led war in Iraq – sacrifices Ukraine never asked to be compensated for.

A bit of good news: NHS England hospital waiting list falls for 4th month in row. The lowest figures since April 2023. Considering the “quademic” and winter months, this is an achievement for both the NHS and Labour government.

So it’ll obviously be all over the news, right?

News out today that Donald Trump will demand access to the UK market for US hormone-pumped beef & pork in return for a trade deal.

That's why voters in every constituency in England, Scotland & Wales want to prioritise trade with the EU.

Of course the right wing howler monkeys have gone nuts at Sadiq Khan being honoured.
Didn’t hear a peep when it was Charlotte Johnson, Shaun Bailey, Hannan, Coffey, Cameron, Frost…
You know…*actual* failures, non-entities, losers and liars who’ve done untold damage to our democracy and our country.

Labour has been in power for just short of 6 months. Can we remember what it was like before? Gaslighting, corruption, incompetence, economic disaster, ruined public services? If you're attacking Labour for not having fixed 14 years of neo-liberalism in 6 months, get a grip. Here's what they've done
