News story about cocaine on the radio and I swear they said the UK consumes 117 MILLION tonnes a year. That's roughly two tonnes per person per year. Not sure that's right.

I am no expert, but I always thought Brexit was a really stupid idea.
This pops up every so often when trade figures come out. UKG promises to "tear down" barriers but does nothing.
Important to say, only the UK has this problem. We've been tearing down these barriers for years. It's called the single market.
Apparently, however, the has to reinvent the wheel.

This country is awash with money. The very rich are rich beyond imagination. So when Starmer wants to stay within his arbitrary fiscal rules, who does he decide to take money from? The very rich? No, from people with disabilities who depend on benefits for the bare minimum of a decent life.

Lucky for the tractor drivers they weren't objecting to the continued burning of fossil fuels leading to environmental degradation, natural disasters, weather extremes, food insecurity, economic disruption, conflict, and terrorism.
Still can't quite see how an ambulance would get through though.

When maximum sentence for chaining yourself to railings is over twice maximum sentence for racially aggravated assault, anyone who cares about justice should be appalled. This is a dangerous, undemocratic & disproportionate attack on longstanding right to peaceful protest in UK #DefendOurJuries

England's children's homes run by private equity rake in millions.
Private firms own 83% of homes.
Average charge for a child in care is £281,000 a year. Some charge £63,000 a week per child.
For-profit homes provide the worse care.
End privatisation scam.

Nothing says 'the continued relevance of monarchy' quite like a billionaire, English, unelected king, dressed up as a Scottish laird, turning up at a food bank in a helicopter
The optics of King Charles visiting a foodbank wearing his best Scottish landed gentry outfit are absolutely atrocious.
