Education Secretary defends freezing the repayment threshold for student loans in England. Ridiculous plan to align repayment threshold with minimum wage. Graduates pay tax+repayment at marginal rate of 37%, higher than capital gains tax rate for the super rich. Abolish uni fees. Write-off debt.

Maybe the player committing the foul should also be taken off the pitch www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country? Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

www.ft.com/content/c741... Palantir is not a company Labour should be dealing with and most definitely I don’t want them With our NHS data, which in the US, ICE is using to target people.

"The maximum time a prisoner can spend on remand is 182 days (six months). Yet Muraisi and Ahmed were arrested in November 2024, and are not due to be tried until June at the earliest, which means they will be remanded for 20 months." Shameful. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I am extremely confused as to why the UK government and police are saying Grok’s mass-scale CSAM generation is an issue for Ofcom. This isn’t about X failing to moderate CSAM, which is an Online Safety Act issue. It is about the company and its technology being actively involved in its generation.

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

Keane leaving Thiago who runs away with the ball and gets his hat-trick Moyes playing with a successful team and dropping Keane back in because “he” said he was fit So many shite performances today and relying on OBrien & Mykolenko to provide crosses after the subs with two forwards on the pitch 🤷🏼‍♂️

PPE Medpro has been liquidated but because it has only £0.6m only £0.6m of the £148m debt will be repaid. A Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA), placed against Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman (worth £500m+) would allow all the money to be recovered. Why hasn't it happened?

Scotland, remember what happened in US when 44% of population didn’t bother to turn up to vote. 22% turnout in Scotland got this #Reform candidate elected. If you don’t want Reform….you’ve got to get out & VOTE

Even at the time, Johnson’s wild weekend in Umbria felt somewhat suspicious. With this new information, you can understand why some are now calling it outright treasonous

Alf Dubs Accuses Shabana Mahmood of ‘Letting the Country Down’ With Plans to Outdo Reform on Asylum bylinetimes.com/2025/11/28/a...

Seems to be going well…

No Shabana, what is really offensive is despite what he thinks of you you still push the very policies that make him a piece of shit scumbag. The irony is obviously lost on you, you utter horror.

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable. A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

£41 million! That’s how much the Post Office has just agreed to pay Fujitsu to keep using the faulty Horizon IT system.

Who would have thought another series of #CelebrityTraitors was reaching a finale inside the BBC board, just as the first was coming to a climax on TV

@brianwoolfinder.bsky.social what have you started

This will impact EVERYONE. Combined with other anti-protest measures proposed like bans on face coverings, the Crime & Policing Bill will see the right to protest in the UK stripped to the bone. Protest is fundamental to democracy. We must protect it. www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/govern...

The UAE is one of the biggest trading partners with the US & Canada - & these govs must be pressured to put an arms & trading embargo on the UAE for its genocidal actions in Sudan. Don't holiday in Dubai. Don't buy their gold or produce. Do your research - update your Boycott list. Free Sudan!

Labour can't even do its Brexit shift competently. Say it was wrong and you can make Farage carry the can. Say it was badly executed, as Labour is doing, and you support his narrative that Leave voters were betrayed. It would be funny - except we'll all have to carry the can for their incompetence.

How I feel about Starmer undermining UK police decisions on Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters.

Decades after the Heysel and Hillsborough disasters, can politicians please not second-guess expert safety assessments for football stadiums. Thank you. An Aston Villa fan.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Labour Party deputy leader contest. I won't vote for Bridget Phillipson or Lucy Powell. Both are right-wing. Supported two-child benefit cap, disability benefit cuts. Snooping on benefit claimants' bank accounts. In the words of Billy Connolly, “Don't vote, it only encourages them.”

Well said, Gary Neville! 👏

Oh you! @tonycampari.bsky.social

Be aware that the 'violent extremists' all wear suits and scapegoat the fuck out of the most vulnerable in society

Good. Now stop arms sales to Israel, implement hefty sanctions on the Netanyahu regime and its members, and use your place on the UN Security Council to back up Resolution 242 with action. It's fucking genocide. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I do love a nice clear night this time of year

At what point do Labour MPs decide to rescue their party - and their seats - by evicting Starmer and Reeves? When voting intention figures fall to 19%? 15%? 10%? (Last week they stood at 21%, and have prob fallen since) The longer they leave it, the harder and less plausible the recovery will be.

UK economy flatlines in July. Can't grow without redistribution of income and wealth. 16m live in poverty. Profiteering choking people's purchasing power Work doesn't pay enough. 37% of universal credit claimants are in work. 1% have more wealth than 70% of population combined.

HMRC lost £836m due to small business ‘phoenixing’. People form a company, don't pay tax & other debts, keep PAYE, NIC and VAT due to HMRC; liquidate company, form another. Public purse robbed Don't discharge directors from bankruptcy until all taxes paid. Fund HMRC to prosecute. archive.ph/oU0oH

Reminder that Kim Darroch was forced to resign as UK ambassador in Washington for telegrams being leaked that showed he was doing his job by providing his honest views but embarrassed the government. It’s inconceivably absurd to consider Mandelson’s position *more* tenable than Darroch’s was.

Oooh just look what happened to immigration after Brexit!The so called saviour of our sovereign borders delivered by no other than Mr. Farage! The man is a lying snake,he has ruined the country for self interest of the few.Yet he uses his work to stir up hate and gather more power!

The far right are a bunch of hypocrites, Ex-BNP Lee Twamly faces conviction for illegally smuggling migrants across the channel! Twamley is also part of the 'Raise the Flag' movement. These people don't have a leg to stand on, they are common racist criminals. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvpg...

I work in a specialised trade restoring historic buildings. I've been lucky enough to work on some of the oldest & well known buildings across Europe. In quite a few of them i've written 'Kopites are gobshites' in hidden places that would never get found unless it got demolished

If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious. Check out this song parody from last night's show: Mike Johnson Delays House Epstein Vote Until September

Dear @BBC Get Farage off our screens for a while please. A long while. We wld like to see some decent,informed politicians e.g. those from the Green Party. We know you have an agenda regarding the snake oil salesman but enough is enough. Yours sincerely, The UK (decent majority)

Labour promised us the NHS "will always be publicly owned and publicly funded" We've written to Wes Streeting to oppose the "Public Private Partnership" in 10 year NHS plan 👇🏥 PFI = £13 billion actual investment in NHS has cost nearly *£80 billion*🤯 weownit.org.uk/news/open-le...
