After years of Tory failure to sort out our prisons Labour are fixing them.
They have taken urgent action to sort out the prison places crisis and are investing in 14k additional places to ensure we don't face it again.
And here we see work has started on a 1,700 capacity prison in Leicestershire!

I'm getting reports that a firm is cold calling people "offering grants for renewables and quoting that MARTIN LEWIS had encouraged people to engage with the company."
The call is UTTER BOLLOCKS! This is not true. Don't trust them. Politely disengage and don't speak to them.

The Charity Commission has just opened an investigation into the hideous transphobic lobbyists at Policy Exchange. 👇
“We think it’s long past time that the Charity Commission created real disincentives to breaches of this nature. In effect they amount to a misuse of public money, and if the Commission fails to do so we will not hesitate to challenge it in court.” goodlaw.social/9azv
After Good Law Project lodged a complaint against the rightwing lobby group Policy Exchange, the Charity Commission has launched a formal compliance case.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm.
Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.

If you are calling for Sir Keir Starmer to stand down, who ever you are, then you are doing Farage's work for him.
It's the way his desire for an election in 2027 comes about.
Just shut up and stop it. Let the government get on with the job we elected them to do - and which they ARE doing.
