"The last thing I did is the report on Gaza naming what is happening there as genocide. One of the main reactions to that report [was] paying tribute to me for my courage.. why would you need courage to speak the truth?" Navi Pillay upon winning the 2026 Nobel peace prize

Devoid of ideas, Tories vow return to Thatcherite policies. They want to cut social spending, build prisons, cut taxes for the rich, free childcare for individuals earning £1m. What will they privatise, sell to foreign investors? No ideas on infrastructure investment, regulation of capitalism.

Kemi Badenoch positions herself as modern day Thatcher and vows to revive Tories

The Tory leader dismissed suggestions that her focus on cutting benefits and building more prisons signalled a return of the ‘nasty party’

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

Only 10% of the richest 0.01% of the population paid close to the top 47% (45% income tax marginal rate + 2% NIC) rate on earnings. A quarter of that group paid an effective average tax rate of 20% or less. The tax system appears to be progressive for some but is frequently not so at the very top

Only one in ten top UK earners pay close to top tax rate, says CenTax

CenTax says equalising capital gains tax with income tax could raise £19.7bn by 2030, as HMRC data shows few top earners pay the 47 per cent top rate.

A minor detail is missing from the headline.

Reform won #Durham promising to show Britain how it would govern. Now another three councillors have walked away, with one making an extraordinary allegation about what happened after she raised a serious safeguarding concern.

Trump will TACO. He’ll never allow this to continue. He knows he will lose. Question is, why does it take the BBC to call Trump out ? Everyone in the U.S. knew exactly what Trump was doing, but nobody did anything. Pathetic…

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

Police injured, vehicles damaged as anti-migrant mob storms Portsmouth. It was a carefully organised event, a mob blocked roads and a stand off with police lasted until about 4am today. Two days ago 500 masked, black-clad men blocked access to Dover. Why no arrests? www.lbc.co.uk/article

Protesters clash with police, hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Portsmouth after the arrival of a small boat carrying migrants. It is mob rule. Private armies, masked and dressed in black roam the streets, blocking roads, attacking police. Whatever happened to the rule of law and order?

This is the most slop-tastic president in the history of presidents. Imagine posting this while US bases are under attack as if this is some sort of video game and not real life, with real humans getting hurt, and real consequences.

Pleased to see Tories are still incapable of learning the lesson that “ending the war on motorists” is not an election winning stance in London, which has the highest walking & cycling rates, lowest car ownership & best public transport of anywhere in Britain. It’s like they don’t know any of this
