I am a little bit in love with Ed Davey. His moral compass is true.
Right now, Donald Trump is at a lavish banquet at Windsor Castle, while in Gaza a genocide is unfolding.
He alone can stop the assault on Gaza City, end the aid blockade and secure the release of hostages - Keir Starmer must make that clear to him before this visit ends.

Now that the shadow of Rayner's tax scandal is gone, let's refocus attention on Farage...
“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties”

Good on the Mirror for having the bravery to strike out against this bullshit
🚨An important reminder of the trauma faced by asylum seekers.
Not just in fleeing persecution abroad.
Not just in the perilous and desperate journey to these shores.
But by the hatred and vitriol put on them by the right wing in this country for callous political gain.

Lib Dems call for urgent regulation of YouTube ads after wave of scams
Party wants video platform to face same scrutiny as broadcasters due to deepfake and investment scams
The Liberal Democrats are calling for urgent regulation of YouTube advertising after scams including deepfakes, impersonated public figures and fraudulent investment claims were found to be spreading on the platform with little oversight.
The party said YouTube’s adverts remain largely unchecked by independent regulators, despite new data from Ofcom showing the platform has overtaken ITV in weekly UK viewership and continues to dominate children’s media consumption.

The next election is years away. But it’s not too early to ask:
What would a Reform UK government actually do to the economy?
Martin Waller's thought experiment is grim – and entirely plausible.

More public money announced today for this scientifically illiterate nonsense. We have a Gov unwilling to level with the public about the climate crisis, deep in denial. The hard truth is we need to reduce flying, at least for now.

Disposable Barbecues are made with no consideration for safety or the environment.
As a consequence we have a near constant stream of…
- catastrophic environmental destruction
- life changing injuries
- needless landfill
Minimum standards for their production are essential

The Right’s NHS narrative isn’t sloppy – it’s strategic.
Rewrite the past, soften the public and call privatisation “reform.”

Here’s how the Right is softening you up to sell off the NHS
First they rewrite the past. Then they sell off the future. The NHS is next
