Several vacancies have arisen for Reform councillors. Anyone wishing to be considered as a candidate should be a committed racist and sexual pervert who supports Tommy Robinson but has recently deleted their entire social media history.
The core Sovereign Grant for King Charles from public purse will rise to £99.9m (from 2027/28). 93% increase from £51.8m in 2024/25. 65% higher in real terms than in 2016/17. Did your income rise at that rate? 25.3m people live below minimum income standard. We are in it all together, aren't we
Royal financial privileges show that we are not in it together
This week, after perfunctory scrutiny, the UK parliament approved a core Sovereign Grant of £99.9m (from 2027/28) for the King, a 93% increase from the £51.8m for 2024/25 and 65% higher in real terms ...

Time to bring the Crown estate and it's assets under public control. It's farcical that offshore wind farms pay the Crown estate rather than the exchequer.
Thread: Wanted to buy a new electric blanket & decided on one in Dunelm. Read the reviews but was concerned about the guarantee, so wrote to head office. They reassured me saying that "While our electric blankets are covered by a 2-year guarantee, I appreciate that when you purchase a product you

On the importance of the car industry... it was arguably the danger of Nissan closing that ultimately prevented a no-deal Brexit. And it may be the EU trying to protect its market through Made in Europe that hastens the return.
Reform says “a handful” of bad apples slip through vetting. It’s not a handful. We’ve exposed Reform councillor after Reform councillor, and many of them are still in the party. Here are some of the worst👇 hopenothate.org.uk/2026/10/16/t...
Ten of the worst Reform councillors we've exposed – HOPE not hate

These are the men and women who betrayed Ukraine
Some of them are fascist collaborators. Some of them are self-interested Machiavellians. Some are merely cowards. All of them have blood on their hands.

Legislation & regulation are easy; enforcement, not so much.
"An investigation uncovered more than 130 official suppliers in the UK willing to sell cloned number plates" This is such a clear example of where the UK is good at creating laws, and often terrible at enforcing them. Laws are pointless if they're not implemented and *seen* to be implemented.
Number of cloned number plates on UK roads at record high, data shows

🎯 Douglas Alexander: “In trade policy, geography still matters. The Channel is just 21 miles wide. Our largest trading partner is and will remain the European Union in the years to come." The EU is our closest partner. EU membership is a no-brainer.

Chris Banatvala, Ofcom’s founding Director of Standards, told Byline Times that the position taken by the watchdog had created a “two tier” situation whereby channels like GB News are allowed to get away with things that the BBC and others would never be able to. bylinetimes.com/2026/10/16/f...

So-called journalists nodding along as Nigel Farage talks about locking up actual journalists for doing actual journalism
