Around 26,000 of the neediest people in County Durham will have to start paying council tax next year...
About 2,400 others who already pay some council tax will lose part of their rebate.
Women and the disabled will be disproportionately affected.
Not quite what Reform UK had promised.

Hegseth issued an illegal Caribbean strike order: “Kill them all.”
SEAL Team 6 hit the boat and saw survivors clinging to the wreckage.
Commanders then ordered a second strike to finish them off.
Killing survivors is blatantly illegal.

Why do they want us to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)?
The Government moots leaving the ECHR as a pragmatic solution to an immigration “crisis”, but is there a more sinister motive behind the push?

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.
