At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.

The remains of Runway 1 on the former RAF North Creake Airfield.

Today we remember all those who took off from this runway and did not return.

Another win for neo-liberalism - “When I started working in homelessness, the average age of death [for a homeless male] was 47. It’s now gone down to 44. We’ve started to see the first cases of children on our streets. That doesn’t seem to shock people enough.” www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Do you remember when the White House had good taste?

Back when the art had meaning, the rooms had soul, and the President had both.

ITV in talks to sell television business to Sky.

Sky is owned by US-based Comcast, largest shareholders include Vanguard Group, BlackRock.

CMA must block the takeover. No one must own more than one major media outlet. Need diversity and competition.

If someone had told me a year ago, that this could happen in the UK I wouldn't have believed it.

Now it's all happening very fast. Even if you consider Cummings as the 'career psychopath' he always was, this is a dangerous new level.
Dominic Cummings has this racialised take on David Lammy

There is an increasingly prevalent kneejerk online rightwing trait to call the presence of any black or Asian person a diversity hire

This is yet another example of how you beat the far right. By beating them, not trying to be them. By having your own agenda, not aping theirs. With courage and conviction - and humour - not fear and timidity.

Yes, they were just as smart, innovative and creative as we are.

It is only those who cling to outdated ideas of progress who can't grasp that

We need to #Unlearn so many ideas like that

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Tory MP Katie Lam demands that legally settled families be deported.

Barely concealed racism as Tories copy Reform. What next - special badges and camps for minorities.

A line in political discourse has been crossed.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Everything is too expensive and nothing works.

Privatisation has been a resounding failure…but we can fix it.
Let’s take rail, mail, water and energy back into public ownership.

Let’s pull the country out of this corporate greed crisis for good!
