The upcoming budget appears to have cuts to Public Spending and to Benefits.

But there is loads of money available from getting rid of Brexit or taxing the rich instead.

RT if you want to tax the rich, and Like if you want to get rid of Brexit.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:

-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

At no point in the Constitution is there any mention of Executive Orders, Presidential Pardons or unelected billionaires controlling Government.

This is because none of these things were ever intended.

Literally all they had to do was calmly condemn Musk’s dishonest & inciteful attack on their parliamentary colleague, Jess Phillips. And they couldn’t even manage that. Absolutely shameful.

Appalling. 77-year-old climate protestor, Gaie Delap, has been recalled to prison over Christmas because her wrists are too small for a tag to be fitted.

@goodlawproject.bsky.social are supporting Gaie to challenge this cruel decision. Here's how you can help👇

In perhaps his most personal column to date, Big Issue editor Paul McNamee writes about how this time last Christmas, his family was standing on the edge of a deep drop. They just didn’t know it yet. ✍️

Having bought the US election, Musk now wants to buy ours. This ketamine-infused menace thinks global domination is his to buy.
And Farage is grasping for his money.These repulsive men weaponise prejudice for power. They feed off ignorance, resentment and inadequacy.
If they succeed, we have failed.

I’m so glad Andrew Tate was denied a voice here. Why should we be confronted with his aggressive misogyny and homophobia? Why should he get to spew his hatred anywhere? Of course we can reject him and all he stands for. It needs to be our response more often.
Thank you 🦋
