For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?

Science leads to amazing breakthroughs. Immigrants lead to amazing science.
Screenshot of a tweet by Rep. Ro Khanna (@RoKhanna) praising a breakthrough in pancreatic cancer research, calling it "the best of America" and noting that lead researcher Dr. Balachandran is the son of Indian immigrants and works at Sloan Kettering. He quote-tweets Ian Weissman, DO (@DrIanWeiss...), who reports that an mRNA pancreatic cancer vaccine showed lasting results in an early trial, with nearly all responding patients still alive six years later.

Sorry for anyone affected by the violence in the Middle East and that sympathy extends to Isabel Oakeshott and her family. Perhaps this experience will help her reflect on the fear and suffering of millions of people who suffer far far worse and are obliged to flee famine and war.

100 men vs. 1 gorilla? How about the working class against the oligarchy? The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

I don't think the government has any idea how much of a political liability this is. When people twig what the Planning and Infrastructure Bill means - that our precious wild places will have no meaningful protection against whatever a corporation wants to do - it'll be felt as a monstrous betrayal.

I can’t bear to see any of that stupid anti-immigrant rhetoric anymore. Years and years of this nonsense taking us back to the past. How can humans still be doing this in 2025? The politics of distraction will never benefit the people but it seems that’s a lesson many are immune to learning.

Trump, through his crony Patel and the FBI, has orchestrated the arrest of a judge who dedicated her life to justice. We stand with those who serve the law with integrity, not with criminals who claim to enforce it.

We choose to support judges who risk everything for justice, not a man facing multiple indictments who manipulates institutions for his personal gain. America must reject the falsehoods of those who betray its core principles.

The political arrest of a judge signals the collapse of judicial independence, erodes public trust in US institutions, and accelerates the rise of authoritarianism, where law becomes a tool for personal power rather than a shield for the people.

Mental health struggles are shaped by our society – things like poverty, job insecurity, and a lack of support. But instead of asking what's driving an increase in mental health problems, our politicians choose to demonise those who are struggling most in our society. 2/3

There’s no shortage of money. There's only a shortage of will, imagination to spend it wisely. When a handful of men can each afford their own space programme, and yet children still go to bed hungry in cities glowing with wealth, we’re not dealing with scarcity, we’re dealing with stupidity.

Remember this partisan, patronising headline on a BBC News article last month? We made a formal complaint, asking specifically how this had been signed off before publication (it was changed later after numerous complaints). The BBC failed to answer and insists everything is just fine
BBC Headline: "has the UK's most loathed protest group really stopped throwing soup?"We are sorry if you did not appreciate our initial headline on the article on this occasion but believe we reported fairly and accurately in line with our commitment to impartial journalism.

History teaches us that the way to stand up to a dictator is to fight back against him, not capitulate to him. Surrendering to tyranny invites more of it. This moment we're in should not be met with a "moderate" response. Luckily, some Democrats starting to understand this.
