This is what many of us have been saying. Part 3 of the Planning & Infrastructure Bill is based on a myth: that we don't have enough homes because wildlife and green spaces are protected. It will solve nothing, and inflict terrible harm on our remaining ecosystems

Very "I will accept this racism and xenophobia as long as it's wearing my team's jersey" vibes from the Labour Party today.
Today is not the day to argue "oh so you want Reform to win then" as an argument for Labour's indefensible and inhumane anti-asylum policies. At least be honest and own that you're defending racist policies promoted with genuinely far right talking points. Don't try and pretend this is "progressive"

With today being such a nice day, it seemd rather criminal not to head out of the city this afternoon and go down to the beach at Irvine for a run around with the dog. It turns out she can run a lot faster than I can!

16 November 1940 | The Germans closed and isolated the Warsaw Ghetto from the rest of the city. It became the largest ghetto in occupied Europe. Over 450,000 Jews were crowded in the area of 307 hectares.

It's the Riccarton Parish Church on Old Street in Kilmarnock and it was built in 1823 on Court Hill, the seat of the judicial executive for the area in feudal times. It's one of only two surviving structures from the old village of Riccarton.

Unlike the rest of the cabinet, McSweeney is from a well-heeled background on the right wing of Irish politics. A not insignificant factor IMO.

I think we all know that the Ai rewrite of the New Testament as prompted by studio algorithms and audience test screenings has Pilate pardoning Jesus, apologizing for the misunderstanding and crowning him King of the Jews at the royal palace. Also, add a hot love interest for the Savior.
