Why all the talk about leadership challenges misses the point that the biggest problem facing this Government is not just a lack of leadership but a lack of clear ideas about what a Labour Government is actually for Until that changes, the question of who sits in No 10 will remain a hollow one.

Suckered again.. Why do I botherreading thisshit (Trump , not the poster!)....

Public Law Project's latest report finds that the average universal credit sanction is hundreds of pounds more than a criminal fine.

Leicestershire County Council has announced it is to pay consultants £30m to carry out a cost cutting review. They said it would be £1.4m. They lied. They said Reform DOGE would do all this. They lied. You can’t trust Reform UK.

Grovel ? Did he offer up suggestions how that would look Make Farage PM Offer the Kings Golden Coach or Buckingham Palace Give him a knight hood Give BBC to GB News Give him Scotland On and on this insanity will continue if we just grovel

Straight from the cenotaph to Tavistock Square for the white poppy ceremony for peace. Happy to lay a poppy at the stone for conscientious objectors, so many of whom also have died as a result of war.

Maybe Nigel Farage should refuse to appear on the BBC in protest.

As I don't watch broadcast TV, I've missed this story. I have noticed that the BBC has been forgetting to introduce Trump as "The racist, rapist, peodophile, conman President of the United States". Is this why people are resigning?

I've always felt that Johnson and Farage put self-interest over the national interest - hence their dallying with Putin and his oligarchs. But directly colluding with a foreign government to take down the BBC feels like an act of supreme treachery

repost to let more people see the plaques that were removed to keep people from seeing them.

Not here to be disappointed. Not here to be concerned. Here to replace them - and then take on Reform. Join.greenparty.org.uk

If they only knew how to zoom in, they might just be able to make out the red poppy too....

The sick irony of pasting their logo over a symbol of remembrance for people who fought and died to prevent the very kind of divisive, hate-driven intolerance they promote.

I was proud to join all councillors cross-party on Wednesday supporting the motion to strengthen Newcastle City Council’s commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant. #RemembranceSunday is a day when we hold up a mirror to ourselves as a society. To remember. For solidarity. For peace.

The 8 Kent offenders sent to jail for more than 100 years. These are the most common types of faces of sex offenders. White British.

JUST RAISE TAXES. MAKE AN ARGUMENT FOR SOLIDARITY AND SHARED SACRIFICE FOR ONCE

Great to hear London Labour MPs panicking about losing their seats to the Green Party. For clarity, though - this goes way beyond just London. Across England & Wales, we're saying lower bills, tax billionaires and we're ready to take on Reform. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Remember Trump saying immigrants were “eating the cats, eating the dogs” Now think, what came next? Farage saying immigrants were “eating the swans”. Do you get it? Do you see that playbook? We have to stop falling for the same shit that made the US shoot themselves in the foot.

May I suggest if she wants to save money that she scraps the digital ID card scheme. It is unnecesary, unafordable and unpopular. I object to my taxes being spent on this.

So, who's really behind the government shutdown 🍊🤡👇🏼 Surprise, surprise...

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

UPDATE: I look forward to any election that presents the opportunity for Andrew Cuomo to lose twice.

Much to the laughter and grins from the Reform MPs who were there !

I'm just asking questions.

Who's a pretty boy then? Blackfriars bridge steps , London #birds

A great film that I have watched over and over again

Absolutely 100 %

I mean, quite apart from anything else, a storytelling universe where a key monster's arm was originally made out of a sink plunger doesn't really fit with a huge US entertainment juggernaut and its vast budgets. Part of the appeal has always been its slightly Blue Peter craft vibe.

Yes, because Badenoch’s was a criminal offence carrying a custodial sentence, whereas Reeves’ was not.

The Guardian has gone TOO FAR this time. It's a British paper; we say "half-arsed", not "half-assed". FFS.

This is the Royal equivalent of the amputation of a gangrenous limb to stop the rest of The Firm getting infected. An act of self-preservation. If it was integrity, then they'd have booted Andrew out years ago. They didn't. www.ft.com/content/a7d6...

And Starmer should lead the way. Today. Show some fucking guts.

Tweets calling for civil war and violent uprising should be the final proof needed for the government to take action against Musk

I would rather live next door to someone who speaks another language than live next door to someone who doesn’t want to live near people who speak other languages. I know nothing about Person A but I know person B is a shitbird.

you have just described taxes

And no - this article nor the independent - are as horrendous or as bitter as Jeremy Clarkson, Quentin Letts or the shitrag that is the Daily Mail. But it's this insidious commenting on people's appearance in something pretending otherwise to be political commentary. Do better. All of you.

I know it’s a cliche, but… Do you believe that the headline would be about a “nerdy scientist” if he had not been white? If there was credible evidence that “Christians turned his stomach” or that he fantasized about driving into a Church and turning them into mincemeat? 6/9

🥀 Bradford's Labour-run council are planning yet more council tax hikes. 💷 People are being asked to pay more for less, while vital local services continue to be stretched. 🟢 Greens will keep pushing for a fairer approach that doesn’t put all the pressure on local people.

Okay but if Labour isn’t willing to vote on this then they quite literally don’t care about it as much as the Lib Dems and the Greens. I’m tired of being told I need to judge the Labour Party by the ineffable, principled content of their hearts rather than their actual behaviour.

I omitted the final step which is suspending the results of the election due to "national emergency" and remaining in power indefinitely.

It's a multi-level plan. Gerrymander. Intimidate voters. Question elections that they lose. Seize voting machines.

Trump/GOP wants a Civil War to cancel all the Elections. Don't Give it To This Moron!

The digging will continue until the hole disappears

Starmer having a look at the polls and deciding he wants to see what it's like in 5th place.

They need to stop thinking X is a reflection of what the public want.

Elon Musk is once again inciting violence on British streets because the government has taught him there are literally no consequences for doing so. They even carry on using his far-right social network to promote government policy as he does it. The absence of backbone is *astounding*.

But it is Ok to have an undisclosed donor to pay the miltitary?
