Why are people saving less toward their retirement? * Wage stagnation * Cost of living crisis * Crumbling public services * Insecure, low-paid work Yet the neo-liberals want to abolish the State Pension. The SLP policy is increase the State Pension to give everyone a dignified retirement.

Old but still going. I’ve lost my winter fuel allowance but still got the bus pass. Could be worse. Too Left for Labour. Too broke to donate to Individuals, only to reputable charities, so don’t ask. It’s a bit lonely here.. . Looking for comrades✊🏼 🇵�

Spain made history by meeting 100% of national electricity demand with renewable energy for nine hours, driven by strong wind output, abundant solar generation, and flexible grid management.
Why does Karoline Leavitt always sound like she is angrily lecturing the nation? She lies. Could the questions they throw at her be any more softball?
Sometimes even the President of the United States must be tried for treason...
Israel TV screaming of WAR CRIMES against the state of Israel. Meanwhile, the state of Israel has razed Gaza, has an ongoing cultural genocide in the West bank and is attacking Lebanon and Iran. Remember the pagers?
“The World of Hans Zimmer” changed my life. I was enamored by the beautiful diversity of these extraordinary musicians, harmoniously demonstrating sheer joy, peace & our collective humanity. Our divide is a social construct rooted in the benefit of the few. We shall change the world.Together. ✊🏼🎶❤️🩹
Perhaps there's a silver lining to the current war. The US has been living off Hollywood-fuelled exceptionalism since WWII - "Go, go, USA", "America is Number 1", etc. - but thanks to a failed reality TV star, its citizens are now catching a glimpse of reality: the American dream is not universal.

I got the rejection email today. I didn't have any luck with the Australian Geographic photo comp this year. No need for sympathy. I'm used to it. It's very competitive. Here's one of my unsuccessful entries. A yellow-tailed rock wallaby at Boolcoomatta Reserve.
I have a feeling Trump never won. He was put in the WH by powerful people on both terms, to do what he is doing to the files. It somehow didn’t work in 2020 and that’s why he can’t believe he lost. Being really dumb, narcissistic and feeling invincible, he messed up and got caught.
It's been eight hours since the Government announced that crypto donations to political parties had been banned effective immediately and Reform's crypto portal is still accepting donations

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03... Recall Tony Abbott saying climate change was a load of crap, that a warming world was better than a cooling one? He killed Labor’s price on carbon- that really worked to cut CO2? Morrison’s lump of coal & “gas led recovery”? Claims acting on climate was too expensive?
WA coast 'pummelled' as Cyclone Narelle could reach category five on approach

Our housing market is in crisis. Renters are being ripped off. We need rent controls and a massive housebuilding programme to bring back social housing. Will the government act? news.sky.com/story/rents-...
Just going to leave this here... Just in case someone tries to tell us something different.
This is what we’re up against…day after excruciating day.
Why should any political donations other than a standard annual party membership fee (say £25) be permitted? All other options allow wealthy people disproportionate political influence.

🤔Could it be? Reform quietly shelving a vote-winning policy the moment former Tory Robert Jenrick becomes Treasurer? The party that cosplays as “for the people” is bankrolled by & takes their orders from the same kind of profiteers who’ve run our water system into the ground.
Awful. Conditions just continue to worsen for Colorado's snowpack (and across many other western U.S. states), with average snow water equivalent nosediving after the historic March heatwave. (which actually continues today with more record heat!) Graphic: nwcc-apps.sc.egov.usda.gov/awdb/basin-p...
For Steve Reed to conflate anti-semitism with far-right Zionist supremacism, and to further use that conflation as a protracted attack on the left is obscene; Reed should not be using this kind of hate filled divisive language, as it clearly tears up the codes of conduct set out by Parliament.
