More on Ryan Coogan the Reform UK Mayoral candidate for Peterborough & Cambridge. Seems he’s been blocking people for asking for detail on his claim that he was responsible for the solution to MRSA.

Significant improvements have already been made to buses. The Tiger Pass, introduced in May 2024 to provide £1 fares for under-25s, has proved a major success, with nearly 40,000 cards issued and more than 800,000 journeys taken so far. www.cambsnews.co.uk/news/update-...

80% of crimes are driven by poverty, if the people weren't poor they wouldn't commit the crime. Billionaires are the biggest cause of poverty. Therefore billionaires cause 80% of crime.

Trump’s Foreign Aid Freeze Leaves Millions Without HIV Treatment
Two weeks into President Trump’s sweeping freeze on foreign aid, H.I.V. groups abroad have not received any funding, jeopardizing the health of more than 20 million people, including 500,000 children.

Donald Trump announced that he would like the US to "take over" the Gaza Strip. He said Palestinians could be resettled elsewhere – aka ethnic cleansing. Labour MPs were vocal in their outrage over Trump's comments, saying Palestinians want to return to their home in Gaza.

It’s official! The US has entered a dystopian parallel universe, first depicted in the Star Trek (Original Series) episode entitled “Mirror, Mirror” in 1967. Guess what? The so-called Terran Salute is exactly what we saw from Neo-Nazi Musk at the inauguration of fascist leader Trump.
