BUT turn on any mainstream media channel right now and NOTHING.

Right wing media has had it in for Angela Rayner from the start - they couldn’t bear a working class woman being so powerful & dynamic. She made a mistake and has paid heavily for it. Very much hope she’ll return at some point in the future - our politics desperately needs more voices like hers

A crime wave in small boats: why worry about facts?
Conservatives claim that small boat arrivals are 24 times more likely to be in prison than the average British citizen. Are they?

Or to put it another way - President Putin has said no to the US-led unconditional ceasefire that Ukraine has agreed to
Yes but….
President Putin says he agrees fighting in Ukraine must end but says any plan must lead to 'enduring peace' and ‘ and remove the underlying causes of this crisis"

Despite the fact that Reform MPs are always shouting about immigration, not one of them could be arsed to turn up for the debate on the Border Security Bill last night. Probably exhausted after a hard day cosplaying at being farmers.

We should really really copy Paris.
According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150,000 trees have been planted and 45 hectares of parks created in the city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to and manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.
Plant a lot more urban trees.

Why is the government happy to cosy up to China, but won't even look at a better customs deal with our closest neighbours in Europe?
