I note with interest right-wing media's total absence of any concerns about prominent BBC presenter Armstrong expressing his highly political opinions. As was always perfectly clear to many of us, the problem was not that Lineker had views, but the fact they didn't approve of his views.

I welcome the agreement on our 16th package of sanctions.

The EU is clamping down even harder on circumvention by targeting more vessels in Putin’s shadow fleet and imposing new import and export bans.

We are committed to keep up the pressure on the Kremlin.

Mick Lynch who explains the train strikes

➡️ Conservatives allowed train companies to hire fewer staff, so they don’t have the staff needed to fill all of the shifts

➡️ Managers paid twice as much as regular staff to work on scheduled days off, over £500 a day

“How will an ambulance get through?”

A question only asked of those trying to save our planet, not millionaire landowners trying to hoard wealth.

Farmers received record support in the budget. Pay what is still less than your fair share, take your tractors and piss off.
