The UK has been pushing for access to European intelligence databases, which include asylum data and real-time information about criminal suspects, which officials say would be a game-changer

All of the cuts in the UK are to protect Brexit and the astronomical and massively increasing wealth of the billionaires at the expense of everyone else.

Many Government budgets are getting 7% cuts.
Why don't we cut MP's by 7%, or their budgets and their numbers by 7%, to get 15%.
Or King Charles' £500m by 7%, or 100%.
While the only budget actually going up is Defence which goes on bombs which are nearly 90% profit.

Israel has chosen to mark the first days of Ramadan by blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Still, our government refuses to implement sanctions and defend international law.
There is no other way of putting it: this is a resumption of genocide — and our government is complicit.
