If you watch the panorama tonight about pet owners paying extortionate amounts for healthcare for their furry loved ones, do bear in mind that it’s basically the American healthcare system but for animals and that it’s what our nhs would be replaced with if certain right wingers had their way.

Number of deportations the ECHR have actually blocked since 1980 - 13 (THIRTEEN).
Please remember this next time some grifting populist claims us leaving the ECHR (and sacrificing the rights it gives us in the process) will allow us to ‘control our borders’.

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday.
I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.
Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

I don’t think we have done a good job explaining to the American public the value of functioning universities. The billions of dollars of government funding that top universities get are actually vetted competitive contracts that allow faculty to do scientific research.

why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been.
What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

OK, gonna throw this spicy bomb out there.
If you're fortunate enough to have disposable income, then right now it is your duty to use that income wisely. You have agency over how you spend it and you should own how you spend it.
Your decisions do, in fact, affect stock prices of big corporations.

On his own social media platform, and without providing any evidence to back up his claims, Elon Musk indicates the skies over America are deeply dangerous for air travelers. And, of course, that his company - quite by chance, you understand - will be filling the breach.
