What a difference under this government.My mother in law has been in A &E after a head injury. She was triaged, given a CT scan cleaned and glued and discharged in less than 2 hours. The improvement from when my mum waiting for about 10 hours on a trolley in pain before seeing someone is stark

What I like about the English women's football team is the inclusivity, women who are neurodivise or have sight issues included in the mainstream team, not separated in a disability team and it being a none aggressive attitude from the fan base.
Well done England .

The starving going on in Gaza is wrong. It needs stopping now. Too much destruction has already happened and innocent people are and have suffered and died.
I wish I could do more than this post to stop it but could not sit in silence when people are facing hunger and this didn't have to happen.

I hope people notice how many Labour have put protection of people in front of political alliances with the welfare Bill changes.
This is the difference between the parties. The Libdems were happy to join the Tories & make horrific cuts for their political gains during the Clegg/Cameron coalition.

I know some won't agree but I think it shows strength and not weakness for the Labour govt to listen to people and their MPs and make changes.
Thank you to @melanieonnmp.bsky.social for standing up for your constituents on the proposed changes to welfare.

The days of water bosses taking bonuses while dumping sewage are over. Labour has banned bonuses for several water company bosses - including at Anglian Water.
After years of pollution and no accountability, we're putting an end to rewards for failure.

Just watched the Home Counties private schoolboy Nigel Farage telling northern voters how he understands steelworkers because he used to work in the “metals business” himself. He was, ahem, a commodities trader at the London Metal Exchange in the City.

The good news is our country is going in the opposite direction and we are building renewable, clean energy, which in the longer term will enable us to be energy independent and not reliant on other countries 😀

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...
5 years after it appeared, things we know and still don't know about COVID
Five years after the virus that causes COVID emerged in China it still holds some mysteries.

It seems as now Musk and the US are inferring and trying to control our country. They need to butt out. This country did not vote for deregulation and private healthcare. We voted to protect our NHS.

To be clear:
It's £1m untaxed, plus £325k of standard tax free inheritance.
You can double that if the farmer is married.
So farmers can hand down £2.65m tax free, and their kids pay 20% on everything else.
Tax on your job is 40% over £50k
"Land owner" is not a job

This will affect fewer than 500 farms, and the IFS says farms are "still more generously treated than they used to be in decades past"
It's just closing a loophole that's been used to avoid inheritance tax, and which pushes up farm rents and makes it harder for 76% if farmers to make a profit.
