Is it time for the UK to ban ‘think tanks’?

Is the UK’s ‘Green’ Party the new Labour Party? Discuss.

I wonder how the people who want us to depend on fossil fuels feel at the moment? I certainly feel that we should be entirely dependent on renewable energies, preferably our own. Somehow I don’t think they are that reflective though.

In shock news, motorists have switched to public transport to avoid paying the Oxford Congestion Charge. A spokesperson* said: "This is exactly what was meant to happen, and it did."

Will Yvette Cooper confirm that wealthy Brits who decamped to Middle East tax havens to dodge their patriotic obligation to pay their taxes won't get free flights?

NOW: Protesters rally outside the White House chanting, “We won’t pay for war and slaughter!” This marks the third day in a row of protests against the US-Israeli war on Iran. #trump #politics #currentevents #news #military #war #iran

Minnesota sues Trump Administration over CMS's unprecedented, punitive action to block the state's federal #Medicaid funding through a "deferral" which was announced last week: www.ag.state.mn.us/Office/Commu...

‘Trump said that the US-Israel war on Iran could go beyond the four to five weeks that the administration initially predicted. The president also did not rule out the possibility of *US boots on the ground* in Iran during an interview with the New York Post on Monday.’

TACO!!! www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/u...

Labour announce an additional £271m to fund greener shipping & ports across the UK, supporting thousands of skilled jobs in coastal towns & backing their rejuvenation! Funding will develop clean tech & fuels, boosting innovation, attracting additional private investment. Excellent work Labour!

I see the papers which screamed ‘tAKe bACK ConTRol’ now want the UK to be nothing but an obedient servant of the USA

Operation Epic Fury should really be Operate on Epic Fuckwit.

“I will not permit, I will not commit our military personnel to unlawful action. That is not what they would expect and deserve. They are entitled to better than that” - Keir Starmer

Even Matt Walsh isn’t buying it

Biggest mistake Starmer made was getting into bed and snuggling up to Farage Best thing he can do now is . Stop slagging off many of the things progressive voters believe in . Look to EU . Stand strong and expose the lap dog nature of UK media willing to sacrifice UK sovereignty and lives to Trump

OF COURSE Iran is fighting back! OF COURSE the conflict is spreading! What did they think would happen? The US is being run by half-wits…

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

Straits of Hormuz/energy prices. No reason that energy derived from installed wind and solar should go up in price. Just saying.

Can anyone cite a war where aerial bombing brought about regime change and lasting peace WITHOUT actual invasion? I can’t.

DON'T BUY TRAIN TICKETS IN ADVANCE! On 1 April, the government is quietly changing the rules. Off-Peak & Anytime tickets become non-refundable after 23:59 the day BEFORE you travel. If you wake up & find your event cancelled, NO REFUNDS, even on £100+ tickets. www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/far...

Until now I’ve been giving Starmer the benefit of the doubt. No longer. His judgement is sufficiently flawed that he’s not a suitable leader.

UN Secretary-general António Guterres told the security council over the weekend that the US and Israeli airstrikes violated international law, including the UN Charter.

Well when you put it THAT way.

Let me guess, wealthy people who moved to Dubai to avoid paying taxes now want the countries they moved from to protect them?

With none of Trump’s public rationales making any sense, the most compelling reason to start a war seems to be to distract from the growing Epstein files scandal. trib.al/nKOy46F

“Labour must stop channelling Reform and unite with progressives. That’s the lesson from Gorton and Denton” Sadiq Khan www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Bombing Iran won’t make us forget about the Epstein files

"Trying to compete with Reform not only feels inauthentic... but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them." Damning stuff from Sadiq Khan www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Feargal Sharkey: "English Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres p.a., dump sewage for almost 4 million hours p.a and roughly 35% of your bills goes on more dividends & interest payments".

Iranian elementary school bombing: Some losses aren’t measured in numbers, but in the ordinary objects that no one came back for.

As Nigel Farage is now so concerned about the influence of "foreign-born voters" can he finally explain why a Kazakhstan-born billionaire appears to be bankrolling his own political party?

Timeless. #UrbanTruth

The Elm Road bollard remains undefeated. But locals claim the yellow box junction there is unfair. Yet, the idiots keep driving into (and onto) that bollard. Fines for this yellow box are an idiot tax.

There’s always a post…

Interesting take on the Iran situation from an Iranian. There is no way the Trump is on top of this.

Can’t disagree... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

During Trump’s second presidency who has killed more US citizens: ICE or Iran?

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program. A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

Today’s quiz question. Who said ‘No more foreign wars’?

Maybe it’s you that’s wrong, Wes. Maybe you’re just not appealing to anyone much. You’re not convincing Reform voters but, in pandering to them, you’re pissing everyone else off. Progressives have had a decade of being scorned and ignored. Don’t criticise us for minding and doing something about it.

War crimes. #Iran www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Netanyahu and Trump endeavour to start World War Three.

Gorton & Denton: Whoever you backed don’t ignore the problem with FPTP this election exposed. 6 in 10 voters didn’t get the representation they wanted; their votes were effectively ignored. In a winner-takes-all voting system, the debate focuses not on policies but on keeping certain parties out.

Greens is just a title nowadays. Are they funded from European Green parties?

Does it though? Labour scrapped the two child benefit cap. They introduced school breakfasts for all. They increased policy. They're building more social housing. They're investing in energy. They've been in power less than two years and turned a £20b deficit in to a £30b surplus.

interesting that new Green MP Hannah Spencer talks almost entirely about public services, cost of living, NHS, the grind of making ends meet.... and hardly ever mentions ecological/environmental issues.... this is the pivot that scares Labour the most
