Labour ran on a platform of change in 2024. They won an overwhelming majority and could literally have passed any laws they like. Instead they chose to continue to bully vulnerable communities.

China switched on the world’s largest open-sea offshore solar farm in late 2025. 2.3M panels. 2,934 steel platforms. Built offshore to survive force-11 gales & sea ice. Powers ~2.67M people. And yes… they’re farming fish underneath it too. Solar above. Food below. Fossils below both.

"Tell us one specific thing [Burnham] will do" Simons: ".. one of the things he's really committed to.. energy, water, social housing.. have gotten so expensive.. & one of the reasons why.. is that we've privatised a lot of them" "So with Burnham, nationalise water?" "No" lol

It’s weird that Helen of Troy being played by a black actress is a problem, but most of the rest of the Mediterranean, Greek and Turkish characters being played by incredibly fair and blond haired people of British, Irish and Scandinavian descent isn’t. And by weird, I mean entirely predictable.

sort of fair play to him for dusting himself off and spending a few days figuring out who were the biggest marks he might be able to get on side and landing on #FBPE

If this isn't "designed to stir up hatred" against Jews, what is? Why are the Met not arresting them?

It's interesting how it is always the left wing's fault that fascists rise to power, as opposed to the centre's. This is, of course, despite the fact that the centre are the ones in power who have declared that racism is 'reasonable', transphobia is acceptable, and the disabled don't need money.

Wes' theory seems to be that if you wield the knife then you get seen as a traitor and can't win, but walk around waving a big knife with 'backstabbing knife' written all over it going "hey, I'm not using it YET" you'll be a contender. What??

Left- Israel is cutting off supplies going into Gaza so that they can starve Palestinians and force them to leave Gaza.

Left- 12 year old girl running right before she is murdered by Israeli strike. She had been on a motorcycle with her father when he was hit and killed. She ran but a drone followed her and murdered her. Right- Bombing Lebanon

in france there are laws regulating the ingredients and preparation of the traditional baguette, so you can find the same basic product at every family bakery. i think it's a good case for authoritarianism and I believe there should be more laws governing the tastiness of bread

Actually, gonna post this again! In our ward we got a Green trans councillor and OMFG! So happy! 💚🏳️‍⚧️

Labour is briefing that Starmer is going to “drop the technocratic tone”. That’s like Darth Vader telling a bunch of stormtroopers that he’s getting over the heavy breathing.

Labour's only hope is to push through proportional representation IMMEDIATELY, and to outlaw being a bald man with a dog as your profile picture.

The thing about Reform's success is this: whatever their political future, whether they have peaked or not, it is hard to express just how unpleasant the resurgence of their sentiments actually is. I grew up in Greater London in the 1990s, and a lot o that time was very grim. And it's back.

Five African grey parrots were removed from public view at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park in the UK after repeatedly swearing at visitors and laughing together. The parrots—Billy, Eric, Tyson, Jade, and Elsie—were donated by different owners but quickly bonded. Original post

something is seriously wrong at the Electoral Commission that they've not forced neo-nazi group Independent Green Voice to change their name. They steal Scottish Greens votes in Holyrood elections

I once cancelled and re-booked a train in China *while I was on the subway on the way to the station* for about a £2 fee.

Rude for Iran to be firing missiles after 37 truth social posts about how they’ve been defeated. It’s like they didn’t even read them.

Do the laws not apply to the rich and wealthy? Kleptocracy? Quid pro quo. Bribery. You name it. All of this is wrong and illegal. Shameful.

Anne Hathaway, you will ALWAYS be that girl. 💙💛

Jim, you should tell Max about how you're not really Julie's dad, and so you can sympathise about the Danny business #Neighbours #Neighbours1985

Got up early in hopes of catching this photo before work this morning. There's only a few days each year where it's cool enough in the morning to make this shot possible. Thankfully, today was one of those days! #wildlife #birds

He's only just found out about it because the house was in Clacton.

Michael Gove turned up at work to vote completely off his face. It's totally unacceptable, if you turned up to work like that you would be fired on the spot.

The same people who think we should be jailing adults who use marijuana in the privacy of their own homes are defending MPs voting on the nation's laws while drunk.

Now this is how you sell a laminator

Hannah Spencer MP, you have done an unforgiveable populism by saying 'maybe MPs shouldn't drink all the time and get absolutely shitfaced at work'

Why the fuck would I care "what it is to be British"? This is just more pandering to flag shaggers
