During Covid, Dame Jacinda’s government found shelter/homes for all our homeless. Labour didn’t want our vulnerable citizens to get sick and die.

Absolutely this, George. It's the same old argument from people who don't actually know the facts but parrot the words because they heard someone else say them who sounded convincing.

Here's my plea to the government, media and everyone else to stop treating NHS administrators as a problem to be eliminated, rather than the glue which holds the whole organisation together.

To knit together two stories: through intimidation, litigation & extortion, Trump is clearly trying to create a media ecosystem where nobody asks him about Epstein - or indeed anything discomfiting. It is appalling to see so many UK media individuals & institutions aiding & abetting his corruption.

A few years back I participated in research into migrant detention camps in Libya, EU funded and not, East and West. The results were horrifying, results this piece glasses over. There were literal slave auctions going on, along with other rampant abuses.

'This is Europe's problem': The migrants stuck in East Libya's detention centres
If the UK government's promise to "smash the gangs" behind the people-smuggling trade is to be fulfilled, East Libya would be a good place to start.

If the US system remains trapped in an endless knife fight between a party of good government and a party of nihilistic governance then Europeans need to accept that the US will no longer be a stable partner long after Trump is gone
I'd just like to point out that we spent an entire shipment of air defense interceptors' worth of money on new signs for a name change that isn't even legally the name of the DoD.
Ukraine is currently experiencing rolling blackouts from Russian strikes, btw.

Letterheads and signage alone would quickly run the bill upward of $1 billion, with a full overhaul likely rising to double that amount.

The government needs to stand up for a truly independent BBC free from political meddling.
That means sacking Robbie Gibb and ending the political grip on the BBC board.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

It takes an obscene amount of hubris to lecture the BBC when you have The Telegraph’s record on truth-telling.
