I’m proud of my heritage & how I came to be born in the UK. My father joined the RAF & came here aged 18 from Jamaica in 1943. My mother came from Jamaica in 1962 & worked as a nurse in the NHS for over 40 yrs. I am the daughter of immigrants & proud of my birthright. 👊🏾

President Trump gets upset that nobody said thank you for the US giving $60 million in food aid to Gaza
Maybe because Israel has blocked food entering Gaza so nobody has seen it?

Fucking hell!!!!!!!! When will they ban the #FarRight? They are nothing but extremists.
We fought a war against the far right #fascists less than 100 years ago.
Have we all forgotten? Why are we allowing this to happen??

Only 4 Reform MPs left. Presumably, that mean they'll only appear on BBC Question Time every other week now

Why our media & press give this lying, corrupt, criminal airtime is beyond me.

Tediously predictable that Johnson - liar and cheat all his life - pusher of a ruinous Brexit - epic disgrace of a PM - kicked out of power by his own party - thinks he can persuade us that Trump’s grim betrayal of Ukraine is a cunning plan to punish Putin. He never tires of being a total arsehole.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Tax dodging costs you 360x the cost of benefit fraud.
But apparently it is only benefit fraud that we can do anything about, probably because those rich people are too rich.
Because they don't pay any tax.

Zuck makes billions from democracies around the world, but believes he shouldn’t have to follow their laws, much like Musk, at the same time that their products are weakening democracy itself. It’s no longer safe to leave social media administration to the US.

Compare the sheer scale of the coverage handed by the BBC this morning to Nigel Farage and his party, with its grand total of five MPs, to its coverage of other similarly small parties.

Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train.
But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK.
Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.
