BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

$40 billion should be spent on health care, not to bail out Argentina. Hear more on my support of @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social's Amendment ⬇️

They did that already by overturning Roe V Wade and banning abortion. In Tx alone approximately 26,313 pregnancies resulting from rape in Texas during the 16 months after the state's total abortion ban went into effect www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

It is permitted under OFCOM's broadcast code - provisions I think for talk show and call-in hosts. I'm not completely familiar but BBC may be more tightly controlled given its state broadcaster status. www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and...

🚨 “How could I not?” A history lesson. 1/2

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Some just seem to love the disruption being caused by the right for the exorbitant opportunities they think it will provide. Why do these ppl not believe normal opportunities and rewards will be enough?

Finally, it's important to think about what this weakening pay growth means for workers. Average weekly pay has increased by just £3 in real terms over the past year – not even enough to cover the cost of a Tesco meal deal.

Trump wants to destroy the BBC and take our money. And Nigel Farage is egging him on. All true patriots should tell them both: hands off our BBC.

“People think that Medicaid is poor, lazy people skirting the system,” Jane, a Vermont resident, tells Rolling Stone. “But it’s teachers, volunteer firefighters, police officers. It’s people that are part of the community” Read: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It’s ironic but predictable that the BBC duo -who tried so hard to please the right wing papers-are removed by the right wing papers.

Uninsured driving costs the government £1bn a year, including compensation for victims, emergency services, medical costs and loss of productivity. An uninsured vehicle is seized every four minutes across the UK, with almost 120,000 seized so far this year, the MIB said.

The attacks on the BBC replicates Trumpian attacks based on lies,false figures to control the pillars of establishment, the judiciary have been attacked too. These pillars serve our interests & justice. They know the attacks succeeded in the US so want to do it here. That is the warning to everyone.

How on earth can Farage accuse the #BBC of bias unless he is admitting he gets on it far too often?!!! He has an incredible cheek. He is taking every chance he can to destroy what is good about the UK, namely the freedom to speak our minds.

Nigel Farage was calling out BBC Bias today. I agree. He’s on our screens way too often.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC. The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

This isn't a revolutionary government. But as a Labour government, it does need to be the people's representative to the system. So far it's acted as the system's representative to the people - "no, you can't have that, tough choices". And time is running out to deliver outcomes by the election

The BBC is hopeless at reporting on itself. The idea that a minor, if misleading, edit is the most serious crisis in its history is ludicrous self-absorption, even allowing for the context of a Faragite desire to break it. It's certainly not as serious as the Iraq-Gilligan crisis.

If the BBC does turn even more to the right, podcasts will become much more important but this will fragment the UK further.

The best Charles Moore could drum up against the BBC was that BBC Arabic is faulty. We don’t watch BBC Arabic do we. And something has been different about the BBC since the 1960’s. Yes, it’s called social mobility. We need the BBC to be strong and honest so that we can trust it.

This is an outstanding post on the criminal justice system. Do read.

We need the BBC for information, education and entertainment. If there is any bias in political reporting we are all smart enough to see it. It’s good to hear different views anyway.

The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.

The bond market is wrong. Reeves should not cut welfare to placate the City | Richard Partington https://www.europesays.com/ie/171948/ There are less than three weeks to go. In the lengthy wait for Rachel Reeves’s autumn budget, the…

There was a dumb rule (that may still be in place) that ppl couldn't win posthumous Nobel Prizes. A Nobel Prize for Rosalind Franklin is overdue.

Farage is even less relevant to people’s needs than Starmer, Davey, Polanski!! Time to Get Real.

Farage is too old to know what the UK needs. lt’s time for the young to take over!

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

There’s a different way to build Britain’s future - one rooted in fairness, inclusion, and shared success. That’s the co-operative model of grassroots growth we’re proud to champion.

Britain’s economy works best when people have a real stake. The Prime Minister said we must “grow our economy from the grassroots.” Our new report shows what that means in practice. Co-operation driving economic growth that lasts.

Georgia Democrats had not won a statewide race that wasn't for a federal office since 2006. They won two races tonight, both against GOP incumbents. The margins? 62% to 38% in both.

We don’t know enough about our own country. We only see a snapshot.

Rachel Reeves says we have a £25 billion black hole Rachel Reeves knows Brexit makes us £40 billion poorer Rejoining the EU would give us a £15 billion surplus Why doesn't Labour want what's best for the UK? Tax rises? That'll be Brexit

The Lib Dems continue to advocate for proportional representation and closer ties with the EU, Including rejoining the single market. These policies position themselves as a distinct alternative to Labour, Conservatives or Reform, appealing to voters frustrated with the electoral system or Brexit.

What can be done to dignify the Golden White House Ballroom when the current Administration leaves?

Apparently the very very rich have left the UK already? But who benefitted from their being here?

Why does the water industry need to be owned and run by private companies? They have shown they are very bad at it.

🇺🇸 Bullies 😡 “Our negotiators had never seen this before in international talks,” said one European official, who had spoken to negotiators. “People being summoned to the U.S. Embassy in London intimidation, threats of cessation of business, threats of family members” www.politico.eu/article/us-a...

Good morning BlueSky! Enjoy your coffee and watch this guy sing to a donkey. Now go vote BLUE! #Pinks #ProudBlue #StrongerTogether #Resist You’re welcome. 💙

Would love to see a clever idea from Reeves and Starmer eg microfinance for forward-thinking microbusiness.

Speak it!!!! True Appalachia!!!

YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP. Today Nigel Farage said the government should cut the minimum wage for young people ...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business" It's £10ph FFS! Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger DO YOU SEE IT NOW? Spread far & wide. bylinetimes.com/2025/11/03/n...

What does Venezuela possess that the U.S would be interested in controling? What does Nigeria possess that the U.S would be interested in controling? Venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves. Nigeria is Africa's largest oil producer. Remember Iraq? Don’t fall for the okie dokie.
