Multiple allied intelligence officials have warned that Donald Trump’s handling of classified material has created an ongoing risk that sensitive information given to the US will end up in Moscow. Several allies have now limited, sometimes stopped, what they share with the US.

A radical budget requires a radical tax reform, and getting rid of our regressive national insurance charges, which are an absurd tax on jobs when jobs are what we want to promote, makes sense in that case. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/11...

Politicians constantly claim that the government must “live within its means”, just like any family.
In this video, I explain why the household analogy is not only wrong — it is the foundation of austerity.

Russia drafted a 28 point surrender plan, handed it to the Trump team, and the regime delivered it to Kyiv unedited, demanding Zelensky sign it by Thanksgiving or lose all US support. Trump and Vance then promoted the plan exactly as Russia wrote it, verbatim, on TV, online, and in person.

Liverpool have a negative goal difference! After spunking all that money on forwards, you'd have got long odds against that being the case after 12 games.

RNLI crews are volunteers who willingly put their own lives on the line to save anyone in danger — no matter their background, nationality, or circumstance. Attacking them simply because some of the people they rescue are migrants is not just unfair, it’s disgraceful.

Several texters into the show tonight FURIOUS at my assertion that if you claim to ‘love Trump’ you’re at the very least not that bothered about misogyny and homophobia, or think other things are more important. Apparently this makes me extremely divisive and dangerous…. But baffled tbh….

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

On the plus side, Nick Clegg's house in California looked terrific.
Meta was aware that millions of adult strangers were contacting minors on its sites; that its products exacerbated mental health issues in teens; and that content related to eating disorders, suicide, and child sexual abuse was frequently detected, yet rarely removed.

Sorry to keep banging on about it but it's literally *they are on Twitter and think it's the majority view*
This is pretty striking and makes me wonder exactly what Labour have been up to in making policy seemingly in response to / fear of the former rather than the middle group.
Why do people think England flags have been raised on lampposts?

You see this also with the “we have to reduce immigration or racism will get worse”. The average person who thinks immigration is too high does not think that makes gutter racism ok and does not agree with, e.g. “let’s do a Partition scale ethnic cleansing in the UK”.
