Ghislaine Maxwell lied on her US citizenship application. She checked the no box when asked if she had ever procured anyone for prostitution.

She had been trafficking since 1994. This could get another 25 years added to her sentence.

The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration.

Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

If they build new houses, as they did, in an area called Marshfields it should come as no surprise if they get flooded when we get lots of rain. The name speaks for itself

This Labour government doesn’t represent my views and I’d never vote for them. Nor does it represent the majority of the electorate. They got in to power through a failing of our FPTP electoral system which urgently needs replacing by a PR system so people get properly represented

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski just schooled Czech Deputy Prime Minister Petr Macinka into accepting that the European Union operates as a democracy.

Populists have nowhere to hide when met with hard facts.

Why do Labour MPs still accept keeping Starmer as PM when it’s driving their supporters away in droves. He’s very unpopular with the electorate. He should recognise that and resign or else be made to resign. He’ll destroy the Labour Party
