Recently, we have seen an increase in protests and demonstrations outside asylum hotels, driven by misinformation and fear. Greater Manchester Asylum Hotels Group have written a statement to respond directly to the concerns and questions they’ve heard from local communities.

Our first pick of the Fringe! Afreena is an incredibly charismatic performer, a brilliant writer, and - most importantly - this is a proper no messing about quiz. Fun, touching, human, and a show that can be enjoyed by real people and not just theatre people, absolutely fantastic. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From us!

Obscene ideas are injected into public life with "humour" ... and then enacted. My column this week is pegged to the recent calls in the Spectator to murder people at Glastonbury, and on GB News to starve and shoot disabled people. You could call it wink murder. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

How does the right tear down progressive societies? It starts with a joke | George Monbiot

Whether it’s bloodshed at Glastonbury or starving people on benefits, their ‘irony poisoning’ seeps obscene ideas into the range of the possible, says Guasrdian columnist George Monbiot

Remarkable clip. The OBR apparently has a new role - a tool for ministers to outsource the negative impacts of government policy.

Liz Kendall refuses to tell ITV News's Anushka Asthana how many people will be affected by the changes to benefits Labour announced today Either Kendall knows but won't say because it's really bad, or she doesn't know so can't say This kind of flippancy ought to be career ending

Hilarious and heartbreaking in equal measure, the sold out production of TOXIC, the powerful and passionate play by Nathaniel J Hall and Dibby Theatre Productions, hits the playhouse this week! 🎭 Thu 20 – Fri 21 Mar 🎟️https://bit.ly/4iSs7x9

The Government is planning to unveil more than £6 billion of welfare cuts that will see even people with extreme disabilities lose money. None of this is necessary. Billions could be raised by taxing the super-rich fairly. Labour are choosing to punish the most vulnerable.

"We have to make cuts so we can build more bombs". I think this is bollocks. Defence spending involves vast amounts of waste. Russia represents a real and hideous threat to Ukraine. The threat beyond that is exaggerated. New column 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Keir Starmer, you claim huge and damaging cuts are vital so we can buy arms and defend ourselves. Prove it | Owen Jones

Splurging the cash is not the answer to Europe’s security jitters. Let’s ignore the hyperbole and decide what’s actually needed, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

And then after the obvious rejoinder—"Ukraine is at war with an aggressive foreign invader, and Ukrainian law says they can't hold elections under such martial circumstances"—expect nonsense about how America is under invasion too (defined not as armed attack, but as unarmed people walking north).
