No immigrant has ever sacked me, or cut my wages, or offshored my job, or closed my hospital, or stopped my mum's disability benefits, or crashed the economy.

Those things were all done by white English men who went to Oxford and wore a nice suit.

NEW: Liz Kendall has told MPs that if a disabled person currently on PIP requests a reassessment after November 2026 because of worsening health, they will be assessed on the new tougher criteria.

This confirms The Guardian’s report that those with fluctuating conditions will not be protected.
Kendall says Pip claimants who get reassessed after November 2026 will be reassessed under new rules, not current ones Vicky Foxcroft, who resigned as a Labour whip over the bill, asked if the Timms review would have the power to review the budget savings being achieved by these cuts. And she asked what would happen if someone requested a reassessment because of worsening health conditions. Would they be reassessed under the old criteria or the new one? Kendall said that the Timms review was not being driven by the need to save money. (That did not fully address the question. Foxcroft wanted to know if it would be able to recommend more spending.) And Kendall said people can request a reassessment. If that happens before November 2026, that will be under the old system. After that, it will be under the new system, she said.

Rage against the machine never specified what type of machine they were furious with, but it was probably a printer.

The UK Gov intends to hand tens of billions in public money to the fossil fuel industry for a huge wave of 𝙉𝙀𝙒 fossil gas infrastructure. Let's be clear: this is a total scam.

They argue the emissions will be captured, but there's a massive catch👇

This must be stopped.
scrapcc.org/CCS-ACTION-BS1
A graphic centred around a map of US on the left and UK on the right, created by Simon Oldridge, and showing how liquified natural gas is being shipped from fracking sites in the USA over to the UK, indicating methane (the main component of natural gas) leaking at all stages of the vast international supply chain—starting from the fracking sites, along big pipelines, and then from LNG tankers crossing the ocean. Notes explains the following: "North Sea gas is maxed out. The extra needed for new power stations will be imported. Nearly 2/3rds of the warming impact of burning imported US gas happens along the supply chain—and won’t be captured. Methane (natural gas) is a very strong warming gas. These ‘upstream’ emissions make imported US gas worse than coal. The UK Gov says it’s not our problem because it happens beyond our borders.

You couldn’t make it up - this is the same government that promised to deliver significant nature recovery - yet once again they’re slashing key nature funding & massively undermining farmers in the process. Madness

Consuming more than eight alcoholic drinks a week is associated with brain injuries linked to Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline, a recent study in the journal Neurology suggests.

A Labour Government should not punish the poorest and most vulnerable.

Cuts to support for disabled people aren't just wrong but completely unnecessary.

A 2% wealth tax on assets over £10 million would raise £24 BILLION!

Back the call today.

The Trump administration has halted hundreds of NIH-funded research projects, including over 100 clinical trials. Experts warn this could jeopardize patient care and vital research on HIV, cancer, and mental health, particularly impacting LGBTQ health studies and eroding public trust in science.
