Overseas care workers go above and beyond to support our loved ones.

How does the government show its gratitude? By making it harder for them to live and work in the UK.

I have written to the Home Secretary urging them to reverse these changes and support care workers instead!

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP.

Let’s be clear: if the Palestine Action hunger strikers die, the government will bear moral responsibility | George Monbiot

"Some councils have been in touch asking about postponing elections. We are writing to councils to tell them, if they wish to postpone elections, to formally set out the reasons and we can then make a decision."

Trump posted this without knowing Nick Reiner had been arrested. He posted it apparently assuming that one of his fans had murdered Rob Reiner. So if you want to know how Trump will react once his fans start murdering his enemies, now you know. He'll celebrate and blame his enemies.

I asked for years, with no results except accusations of 'antisemitism' & 'trolling', whatever THAT is
Not a single quote or clip of @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social which would stand up in court
The charge that labour was 'systemically' racist was also a farce. Depending on a zionist definition of racism
And no one was able to point to a single anti-Semitic statement made by Corbyn at any time in his life.
