Whittome, Lewis demand independent inquiry into extent of Epstein's UK influence
MPs say the public deserves the truth. With Epstein’s files naming top figures, calls are growing for an independent inquiry into it all

"The proposals would extend insecurity for families, with damaging consequences for integration, educational opportunities and child poverty." @ippr.org

Pushing more people onto this punishing route will only entrench the hardship people in our community already face. This is not the answer.
300,000 children face 10-year wait for settled status under UK plans, says IPPR
Thinktank analysis says proposed ‘earned settlement’ changes could trap families in prolonged insecurity

A path leads through shady woods with a patch of strong sunlight shining through in the centre of the trees. A low wooden fence crosses the centre, beyond the path.

It should be clear to everyone now that the problem was never with immigrants or asylum seekers but with billionaires and oligarchs 🪙 The whole scapegoating of foreigners was just a scam by the technofascists and Epstein-class to keep us looking the other way. And grifters like Farage were in on it!

We estimate those who started university in 2022 can expect to repay around £16k more on average over their lifetimes in today’s prices than if repayment and interest rate thresholds had increased with average earnings since 2022 – the stated government policy when they applied.
Chart shows average expected lifetime student loan repayments of the 2022 university entry cohort under different loan terms by lifetime earnings decile. Title states: "Those who started university in 2022 can expect to repay around £16,000 more on average due to changes since they applied to university."

A lot going on here and all ugly, but one thing I still can't get my head around is how any British government can do business with Thiel at this point.

Artists have always loved to sketch!

Sketch of a sparrow from Egypt dated c. 1479–1458 BC.

Some 3,500 years ago in Egypt, artists used flakes of limestone as sketchpads!

Met Museum photo of an Ancient Egyptian artist’s painting of a swallow on a flake of limestone, dated to the New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, joint reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III, c. 1479-1458 BC. The sparrow stands in profile with head to the right. It is delicately painted with a pinkish body. The outline and details are highlighted in a reddish/brown pigment. Its legs, eye, and beak are painted black. Limestone flake dimensions Height 6.6 cm x Width 10.6 cm. This may have been a practice drawing of the sparrow hieroglyph which was used for words meaning ‘small’, ‘poor’, or ‘bad’. Egyptian artisans who decorated tombs and temples made practice sketches on flakes of limestone which are known by egyptologists as ostraca (singular: ostracon). Sometimes the drawings were used as a template when transferring an image to the wall of a tomb or a temple. Limestone flakes were readily available for this purpose as by-products of the construction of temples and rock-cut tombs. A number of ostraca were recovered at Deir el-Bahri during the 1922-23 MMA excavations.

Transfer deadline day. The footballing equivalent of when you go to Aldi for bananas, bread and sausages but come back with a leopardskin egg cosy, emergency frying pan and an inflatable gnu.

Over one million people in GB are now problem gamblers with many more at risk thanks to rampant adverts.

Local charity Breakeven provides support for thousands in the South East and has excellent insight into how we can reduce harm now, and protect future generations from this terrible addiction.
Image is of Sian visiting Brighton based charity Breakeven. In an office, Sian is stood on the left, holding and reading a copy of Breakeven's 2025 impact report. Stood to the left of her are two members of the charity's team.

As Clive says -
Justice for WASPI women will not come from warm words alone. It will only come when a Labour government is willing to properly re-examine who it governs for, and whose interests it is prepared to challenge. Getting this right must be part of a wider reset of our political economy, so that fairness, accountability and basic respect are no longer the exception, but the rule. To that end I will continue to work with WASPI women for justice and compensation as well as the broader set of issues raised above.

Improving health in deprived communities is essential for economic growth. Poor health limits participation in the labour market and drives inequalities.

Our new briefing shows how local teams can embed health into strategies on skills, good work and investment ⬇️
