When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left?
All the shifts are in just one direction.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Britain, a trading nation, now has a vital choice to make about its priority trading partners:

- the EU, where agreements are made, kept, reciprocal, based on international norms, & enforced by a court

- the USA, where agreements are made, broken, changed & broken again at a whim, with no recourse

I do not think in the year 2025 that we should continue to accept a reality which sees women paid just $0.75 for every $1 men are paid for doing the same job.

If we want to achieve economic justice in this country — that means equal pay for equal work.

It will be very hard to accept if Labour bin the digital services tax to suck up to Trump. Especially given they're slashing funding for vulnerable people and people with disabilities.
