Historically the interventions that have had most benefit for socio-economically disadvantaged children have not been targeted/means tested interventions (eg SureStart-missed so many) but universal ones: •Universal education •Health visiting •childhood immunisation •Universal child benefit •The NHS

I just signed to stop killer robots: weapons that attack people with no human in control. No law stops them yet, but we can change that. In November, governments decide whether to start writing one. Public pressure can tip the balance. Sign too: action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-10...

Once he is there other prisoners need protection from him. Prison staff can’t/mustn’t be allowed to to use him as a tool to intimidate other prisoners. He isn’t going to stop abusing others just because he’s inside, unless he’s prevented from doing so I find it hard to believe he hasn’t killed

Plaid Cymru demands a New Deal for Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 The powers and resources to improve lives across our nation, including policing and justice, rail infrastructure, the Crown Estate, fair funding and greater financial flexibility. Wales has waited long enough. It’s time for Westminster to listen. ✊
The Plaid Cymru First Minister delivering his speech at Conference, split into three parts. "Today, I have written to the Prime Minister with a formal ask - A New Deal for Wales.", "A New Deal to secure powers for a purpose.", "Not as an end in themselves but as a means of growing our economy and improving outcomes for everyone."

They should have defined what they meant by Zionism before the vote. As you say it’s a term with many different uses and meanings If it means promoting a racial hierarchy, Jewish exceptionalism (the chosen people stuff) & apartheid then yes- that’s racism

I completely understand why some folks, especially pro-Israel ones, are freaked out by the One-State Solution, but given how settlement growth has effectively eliminated the viability of an independent Palestinian State, that's basically what we're left with. It's that or permanent apartheid.

It is very instructive to see the entirety of the UK commentariat in shock-horror 'this cannot stand!' mode, all as one - it's also instructive that I haven't seen one of them ask a Palestinian what they thought of the motion, and about how they experience Zionism. Just one of them things, I guess.

The World Court ruled against United Kingdom and in favour of Mauritius in the case of Chagos Islands. UN General Assembly voted that UK has to return the islands to Mauritius. Eventually UK agreed to. Exiled Chagossians could return. Burnham says he will break the deal to please Donald Trump.
