Contrary to what some people believe, it is possible to be left-leaning, patriotic and a monarchist.

The United States Department of Health and Human Services is apparently now in the business of… vegetable placement strategy.
Except plot twist they’re not.
What actually happened is the most 2026 thing imaginable: a government nutrition website added an AI chatbot.

Loving the new #Warburtons advert, but still won’t buy any as they’re #Tory donors.

UK migration could be negative this year – how will that hit the economy?
Universities, builders and health trusts are feeling the squeeze, as thinktank says effect of zero net migration could be similar to Brexit

What @isabeloakeshott.bsky.social really means is that she and her rich friends weren’t really offended by what #JimRatcliffe said.
She doesn’t care about anyone else’s opinion. Whatever the plebs think is irrelevant to her.

Threatening to put universities out of business – with all that would mean for students halfway through their degrees, or towns reliant on a major employer – if they don’t fawningly accommodate any regime-backed political nonentity who asks is the stuff of autocracy, not democracy.
If you want to know what Reform would be like in power, look at how it threatened Bangor University | Gaby Hinsliff
A debating society didn’t want to invite two figures connected to the party to speak. Cue an authoritarian response, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

Refukkernomics...
Kentish Refuk paying off low interest loans (1.32%) using funds that were earning the council 4-5% interest...
So rather than saving £670k for the next 40 years as the Refukkers claim, they're actually losing £1.3m every year on the deal.
