The real 'two tier' divide in British politics is between the wife of a Conservative councillor calling for refugees to be burnt alive, being treated as a brave 'political prisoner', and the protestors calling for the end of mass starvation and genocide, being treated as domestic terrorists

One year on from the Southport attack, we remember Alice, Elsie, and Bebe the three young girls whose lives were so cruelly taken at a summer dance class.

Their loss is still deeply felt, by loved ones, the community and by all of us who believe that hate and violence must never win.

Benefits

There has barely been any increase in the number of people claiming benefits if you take into account population growth, aging population, increase in morbidity & pension age rising so it include more people

Trump and Vance are reprehensible traitors to the Western World.

Zelensky is the greatest Western leader and anti-fascist of our time.

Europe must back Ukraine all the way.

Just arrived in Paris for crucial talks.

Europe’s security is at a turning point.

Yes, it is about Ukraine—but it is also about us.

We need an urgency mindset.

We need a surge in defense.

And we need both of them now.

❌ Elon Musk is amplifying far-right figures, spreading harmful disinformation, and meddling in UK politics. If we stay silent, he wins. But together, we can push back and demand stronger laws to protect our democracy.
