In 2026, Wales took a major step toward making politicians more accountable. The Welsh Parliament backed legislation creating a recall system that can allow voters to remove Members of the Senedd in certain circumstances, including false or misleading statements intended to influence elections.
FFS, give the money to those in poverty to let them decide where to spend it on helping their own situation. Oh, they don’t have a lobby group!!! 🤬
Prem Sikka@premnsikka.bsky.social · 4h agoPubs and hotels could see business rates reformed after review. One-dimensional review. Why no review of rents, energy, water bills? Many chains owned by private equity, extracting cash via low wages, low investment, selling assets, profit shifting, tax abuse.
Hi @vicderbyshire.bsky.social if Jason Arday and marathons ever come up, please see the evidence and references below. Better yet, invite @monkemma.bsky.social on and ask why she was able to find this information but most journalists have not
Emma Monk@monkemma.bsky.social · 2d agoOne of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

A ballroom above a bunker. Thousands of National Guard troops in Washington. Fortified White House security. With midterms approaching, should Americans be asking what the administration anticipates? Guy Anthony Ayers has a view
Mirror mirror on the wall, who wants the fairest ballroom of them all?
Trump’s White House ballroom, bunker and security uplift raise questions: is he preparing for a dance – or a political siege?

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028, and frankly zero interest in the 2028 fantasy football right now ... these midterms are the whole ballgame ... I don't know that we have a free and fair election in 2028 unless we restore checks and balances in these 2026 midterms."

Andy, put policies in place that bring an end to food banks. @labouruk.bsky.social
There’s something deeply repellent about Reform’s vengeful and racist obsession to take money from the most vulnerable when they’re under multiple investigations for breaking rules, dodging tax and gorging on £millions for themselves. (And trashing our EU agreement is just so thick it hurts) iPaper
Unbelievable scientists do it again…. mRNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer shows remarkable potential in clinical trials. Let’s hope this is a big win.. one of my best friends died of pancreatic cancer… science & vaccines save lives and expand human life expectancy #VoteBlue and get vaccinated

Anyone familiar with history knows that East Germany was notoriously in favor of Western Europe. They even built a wall to prove it. Tucker is either an idiot, a Russian asset, or both. “Al Capone, on the spectrum of extemely violent mobsters, was firmly on the moderate side.”

The selfish coward who was too afraid to serve is indifferent to the suffering of those who are serving. Donald Trump is such a disgraceful sociopath.

£5million for his security and Farage pretends he’s been threatened and won’t turn up to thank the people who managed his monstrous tantrum by-election, staying up through the night counting votes… or the voters who let him get away with his gross abuse of power. From start to end, an epic disgrace.
A competent Secretary of Defense would be greatly alarmed about reports of squalor on the USS Abraham Lincoln and go see the conditions for himself. But Pete Hegseth is not competent—he’s just a vain and vapid TV talk show chatterbox.

"Pete Hegseth’s appointments to a key Pentagon advisory body include two men with ties to the venture capital fund where Donald Trump Jr is a partner, which has lucrative investments in military and space technology." There's always a grift.
