Insulting female journalists - Farage emulating his hero Trump
Emma Barnett is one of the BBC’s most senior and high-profile presenters (Woman’s Hour, Newsnight, later flagship political interviews). Farage calling her “lower grade” is:
•factually incorrect,
•demeaning rather than descriptive,
•clearly an insult
He’s despicable www.youtube.com/live/qwYO1HZ...

📢 We are calling on the government ahead of the UK Budget announcement tomorrow.
A wealthy, high-polluting few have gained extreme riches, harming people and planet. But just a 2% tax on assets over £10 million could raise £24 billion annually!

Trump’s regime is coming after Europe hand in hand with Russia

Russia welcomed Trump's new National Security Strategy, as “largely consistent" with Moscow's vision

The document unveiled by the US admin this week, suggests Europe is facing "civilisational erasure" & Russia as a non threat to the US
New US security strategy aligns with Russia's vision, Moscow says
The Kremlin welcomes the starkly worded document, which does not cast Russia as a threat to the US.

Starmer would do well to listen to this former diplomat. He won’t, of course.
Rant alert: Trump’s national security strategy trashing the EU and core values at heart of transatlantic alliance makes it all the more urgent for Starmer to pursue bolder reset with EU. His timidity loses valuable time and risks leaving us even more subject to events rather than shaping them. 🧵

It was striking that the most impressive recent speech on Britain’s future in Europe came not from our current Prime Minister, but from one of his Conservative predecessors, argues @alexhh.bsky.social

Habeas Corpus is in the Constitution, Article 1.
We don’t know if it was secrecy or stupidity that led to the deletion of habeas corpus from the online version of the U.S. Constitution, but @librarycongress.bsky.social needs to give a full accounting of what happened — ASAP.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

a total of 8 new breakfast clubs across Oxfordshire.
I'm delighted that both St Joseph's and Barton Park Primary Schools will be among the first to offer Labour's free breakfast clubs, supporting:
