Burnham scraps Starmer-era plans to curb jury trials. A victory for common sense. The Bill would have been defeated in the Lords. Due to Tory cuts, there is a backlog of over 81,000 Crown Court cases in England & Wales. Govt must invest in public services.

BT to buy the broadband supplier TalkTalk in a £400m deal. BT is already the biggest provider with 30% of the market. If the deal is approved by the competition regulator, it would be bad news for customers. Less competition, less choice, higher prices.

Devoid of ideas, Tories vow return to Thatcherite policies. They want to cut social spending, build prisons, cut taxes for the rich, free childcare for individuals earning £1m. What will they privatise, sell to foreign investors? No ideas on infrastructure investment, regulation of capitalism.

In the 1970s over 30% of the population lived in council housing, and I was one of them. In 1978 we could easily run a household on £60 a week, took regular holidays, and had zero personal debt. All because the landlord didn't take most of our income.

Why is Nigel Farage back on air? Ofcom bans politicians from presenting news programmes, but GB News claims Farage's show is just 'current affairs' despite him using it to defend Reform's £72m in donations. Close the loophole now.

Tories were instrumental in creating hedge fund billionaires. Water companies who did no maintenance and power companies who are stilling ripping us off by pricing electricity as gas. Why do we stand for this treatment? These monopolies were free of profiteering before Thatcher privatised them.

UK public sector bodies spent £17bn with offshore-owned private equity firms last year. The same vultures received £31bn public sector contracts. Profiteering, low wages, tax dodging, asset-stripping is their business model. Enriched by public money. How many have politicians on payroll?

It's the Trump/facist playbook. Lying and corruption from the top down keep Reform alive. And just like MAGA cult members in the USA, if you ask a Reform supporter "what if you've been lied to?" They simply have no ability to think for themselves or see Farage conned them all despite £5m reasons.

If you support Israel being a Jewish ethnostate then you have to accept that Jewish ethnostates can be criticised without it being antisemitic, or you're just saying "Israel can't be criticised". Which is what the Israeli gov etc are saying, and people are...agreeing?
