Incredibly telling that more White House reporters made a bigger deal about Trump calling a woman “piggy” than him using a slur about people with disabilities.

The chaos of the current energy system has resulted in the highest #energy bills in Europe.

We need to look at countries like France and begin to plan to own our own energy. Only then, can the ever-bulging profits currently going to shareholders, be used to keep bills down.

Private water has failed this country.

So I’m co-hosting a briefing in Parliament for MPs to make sure they know the truth about why public ownership is the solution.

We’ve got just 24 hours to get my colleagues there.

By this metric, some harmless sod working in a warehouse is less welcome than some button-eyed grasping opportunist 'entrepreneur' who sets up a fake business to sell millions of quid's worth of shonky PPI to the NHS during a pandemic.

People aren't just defined by what they can do for you.

Immigrants have helped, improved and enriched this country more than the likes of Farage and Yaxley-Lennon could do in a thousand lifetimes, so it would be quite nice if the government didn’t pander to feeble dickheads like them with rhetoric like this.

McFadden explains to #trevorphillips that kids growing up in poverty have worse outcomes later in life

So why didn't you scrap the cap as soon as you won the election? Instead you chose to keep hundreds of thousands of kids needlessly in poverty, knowing the damage it would do

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

So a former member of Farage's campaign team in Clacton (who was expelled from the party) says they lied about how much was spent on Farage's campaign in 2024, and submitted fraudulent election returns. This could be interesting, especially since the story has broken in the Telegraph.

Czech President Pavel warns: “If Putin wins in Ukraine, we all lose.” He compared secret U.S.-Russia talks on territorial concessions to the 1938 Munich Agreement, calling them dangerously familiar. Letting Russia emerge victorious from this war, he stressed, would be a defeat for all of Europe.
