Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, I’ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today.

After a Treasury spokesperson says Rachel Reeves was upset at PMQs due to a personal matter, Kemi Badenoch's spokesman tells journalists that "something strange is going on" and insists the Chancellor immediately disclose what is happening in her personal life

Supermarkets are ripping off customers - not just by making packages smaller, but selling different sizes on the same shelf, at the same price and leaving it up to chance whether you get 5 Freddos or 4.

How are we supposed to get people off gas when the price ratio is now OVER 4x. This really pushes the limit of heat pumps being cheaper to run than gas boilers and would be entirely fixable by the government.
