If GB News were a normal commercial venture, like Talk TV, it would have been binned long ago. Since September 2020, it has spewed out hateful far-right propaganda, paying high salaries to people such as Nigel Farage. Ofcom has abjectly failed to address this threat to democracy.

Disability doesn’t care how old you are. Specialist food is no cheaper if you’re 19. Employers don’t lose their prejudice if you’re 21. This is blatant intergenerational inequality from Labour. Younger disabled people of all severities deserve better. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Millions of UK workers withdrawing from pension schemes to make ends meet Consequence of low wages and high cost of living forcing people into hardship choices - living now v income in retirement. They will have lower private pension in later life and state pension isn't enough even now.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Yes. Newcorp analysed the reporting around those particular crimes. What they found was when the perpetrators are white, the news tends to stay regional. When they are non-white, the news is often national.
