But they want to cut the National Minimum Wage down from £12.21 per hour. (It goes up 50p in April.)

If Britain had a functioning fourth estate, Reform would not exist. To put it another way, the collapse of journalism directly enabled this firm of spivs and charlatans to lie their way to prominence.

Too fecking right! Proscription of Palestine Action was a massive Starmer misstep and a lurch in a terrible direction.
High Court: proscription of #PalestineAction was unlawful.
Greens voted against proscription, so we welcome this.
Govt must now immediately end its authoritarian attacks on peaceful protest, and fully address its complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

I can’t find the words to properly articulate how much this annoys me. Columbus was an incompetent leader, rapist, slaver, and purveyor of genocide.
Also, he never stepped foot on what is now the United States.
