I don’t recall as much fuss when the Tories were caught actually lying about their final Budget and keeping the truth from the OBR. What became of this investigation? www.theguardian.com/business/202....

The Trump regime isn't a presidential administration--it's a heist operation. The most corrupt president in American history and it's not even close.

Today December 1st is #WorldAIDSDay. I remember the millions who have died. I celebrate the transformative progress that has been made. I resolve as an HIV researcher and advocate to keep up the fight to end the HIV epidemic. Do you know you status? Get tested. Get treated. Get on PrEP.

A Welsh journalist asked a simple question about why Reform will not appoint a Welsh party leader before the 2026 Senedd election. Reform's comms chief responded with an offensive slur leftfootforward.org/2025/12/refo...

Jim’s story is a testament to resilience & community. From the fear of the early '90s to the activism that shaped today’s treatments, his voice reminds us why World AIDS Day matters: to honour those we lost, celebrate those who survived, & fight for dignity & care www.scenemag.co.uk/we-never-exp...

Can it be a "defection" when he has no parliamentary, nor any political position? The headline should be "Unemployed teacher pays for Reform membership."

I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better. kentuckylantern.com/2025/11/25/t...

Today is #WorldAIDSDay With Lenacapavir or LEN, a new drug WHO recommends to protect people at risk of #HIV instead of taking daily pills, people can now get injections every 6 months. At the time where funding for HIV is limited, this new drug could mean fewer new infections & more lives saved.

Really positive step to reduce transmission of HIV in UK with targeted action for those who may be less likely to seek support

Phew good job Farage doesn’t still have a big ❓ over him re whether he dodged £40K in Stamp Duty OR over his girlfriend being embroiled in a Corruption investigation in Brussels OR over his #Racism not just at school but also as leader of UKIP allegedly using the N word But hey.. about Reeves 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️

You would think the alleged indiscretions of the schoolboy Nigel Farage would have drawn outrage from a just, impartial British media. Strangely, it seems they have not. This week’s column by Stewart Lee www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

He really does.

South Park destroys Pete Hegseth.

Glorious, cathartic, taking no shit at all, Stewart Lee. Brexit: “like someone stepping round a massive pile of dogshit on the living room carpet. Every day. For nine years.” If only all our media could be as ruthlessly challenging as this. www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

A must read, particularly for voters in Wales! No policies, no standards and no shame. Get rid in 2026.

We have written a special report looking at the people behind Reform in Wales. This was a bizarre piece to write. willhaywardwales.substack.com/p/special-re...
