Labour to stop issuing study visas to those from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan - but will keep funding wars in those countries

Why is Keir Starmer utterly incapable of saying no to Donald Trump? Our national security requires us not to be dragged into illegal wars. The Prime Minister is making us less safe. Did we learn nothing from Iraq?

Tourettes campaigner John Davidson has spoken about how the BBC cut out other tic-ed slurs - but not the n-word

Newly described Begonia species from Vietnam #begonia phytotaxa.mapress.com/pt/article/v...

Saw the headline and anticipated some decent journalism about OFGEM's criminal incompetence and the cartel greed of the industry. But nope, it's a "look over there, not over here" piece worthy of British Gas' PR dept about fraud that costs us a quid a week. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

"Why do I have to pay in to something for many, many years and then someone comes along and doesn't contribute to the country and then gets full benefits?" BBC gives long piece to man who proves he's not racist by carefully listing racist propaganda. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What the government can’t afford: ❌Lifting children out of poverty ❌Disability benefits ❌Compensation for WASPI women ❌Winter fuel allowance What the government can afford: an extra £13.4 billion on the military. Never any money for the poor. Always enough money for war.

Paying off psychopath #2 to protect you from psychopath #1 won't make you safe, just the psychopaths richer. Fuck off, Bessent, and once you've finished doing that, fuck off again.

There's a common path in the development of authoritarian or totalitarian regimes, regardless of whether they are overseen by Catholic Inquisitors, Protestant enforcers, monarchists, fascists, Nazis, Stalinists, Maoists .... First they eliminate words. Then they eliminate people.

Here's one of the warnings I gave in an article before the US election. It's devastating to see it all happening. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
