#Pubs and small shops are often the heart of #villagecommunities and when they close the heart of the community dies. But many communities are fighting back. Read the inspiring story of how one Sussex village saved their local pub:
A local pub for local people
A brilliant start to Christmas for the community of East Hoathly

Approach with caution. May terrorize with placards and chanting. And remember, conscience, if vocalised in public, may be contagious!

The business secretary Jonathan Reynolds says the racist protesters intimidating asylum seekers in Epping are "upset for legitimate reasons.”
I don't remember any Labour frontbencher saying the same about people protesting the genocide in Gaza. On the contrary, they've criminalised peaceful dissent.

Every time you see an emaciated, starving child in Gaza, remember that starvation is a deliberate weapon of the Zionist Israeli government. 🇮🇱 💀 🇺🇸

In 2014 Israeli killed 500 children in Gaza, at that time widely thought as an unprecedented number. A lobby group in Israel wanted to broadcast their names on the radio. The Israeli government changed the law so that they couldn't. So Michael Rosen wrote a poem 👇

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
No second state visit for Trump
This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Good on Annaliese Dodds for resigning in protest at Keir Starmer gutting aid. International development is an incredibly cheap way of stabilising the parts of the world that create refugees. It's a very stupid and immoral decision by Starmer.

Dear Keir,
Can we go back to being European again please? I think we broadly share their values. Unless you share Trump's values, in which case we are all screwed.
Trump is a monster.

Government should seize the moment, while Musk and Farage are at odds, to close the loophole on foreign donations to UK parties.
The danger was always that introducing legislation would trigger a donation. So do it now, before they kiss and make up.

Reading a column from a Tory MP on the Fascists from the Mail in 1934...
"There is no fundamental difference in outlook...Why should there not be concord and agreement between that old historic party... and this new virile offshoot?"

Most people know the Mail briefly supported the British Union of Fascists in 1934 ("Hurrah for the Blackshirts") but less well known is that Rothermere got all his papers to back them.
The Sunday Dispatch ran a prize for the best letter on "Why I Like the Blackshirts".
