I'm wondering if raising the retirement age (particularly the women) will have played into more people being on benefits yet unable to work. It must have done.

How to solve the UK housing crisis.

I'll start.

Why not consider 'tiny homes' on brown fields sites?

Perfect for young people starting out. Low rental or buy and it's a first step on the property ladder.

A sign of intelligence is the ability to change your mind as new facts become available.

There is no shame in changing your mind when it is the right thing to do.

The winter fuel allowance is an example of this. It has come to light that the threshold was set too low.

Has he gone yet?

Is it safe to wake up?

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left."

It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

Right wing populist politics has been so damaging and so brain-achingly tedious this last decade. Look at where we are as a result. Far poorer, weaker, more divided, isolated from the EU and trying not to piss off an egomaniacal lunatic in the White House. Sovereignty at its most vulnerable.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

Your American allies.

BREAKING: A massive protest is happening now on the Heard and McDonald Islands after Trump announced a 10% retaliatory tariff against the islands.

USA has become the SECOND country in history to impose economic sanctions on itself.

Blackrock has just bought 3 British Freeports, Felixstowe, Thamesport, and Harwich for $22 billion in a deal via Hong Kong pushed by Donald Trump.
Did you hear about this in the MSM?

We have now reached the ‘Brexit could actually kill you’ stage of the sunlit uplands.
