As well as a Britannia Magic Dome, Tories will build a Halo Array, a Stargate, a Dark Tower, and a Death Star - named respectively Spirit of the Blitz, Maggie's Opening, Boris-Dûr, and Churchill's Clacker - funded by sales of a new wellness smoothie made with carrot, ginger, and poor people's tears.

Shadow chancellor vows to cut tax in every Tory budget As always, it would be tax cuts for the rich. No mention of corporate welfare, equitable distribution of income/wealth. We haven't recovered from previous Tory follies. NHS queues, potholed road, crumbling schools. What will they cut next?

I have this insane, irrational hope that at some point even British politicians might observe that the public is supremely unbothered by American bombers fleeing the country in a panic. I know. An outright majority of British politicians will never figure that out, let alone why.

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.

And a male contraceptive pill was tested and available and Big Pharma removed the funding - their reason? It would be ‘too inconvenient’ for men to use. Funny, they never considered Viagra ‘inconvenient’ to use.

I strongly believe schools should bring children together rather than try to impose one religious identity on them. If you agree - please add your name and call on the Education Secretary to introduce inclusive assemblies for all, and to keep dangerous Christian Nationalism OUT of our schools.

Many British battlefields need a serious rethink. Their locations aren’t always as certain as we’ve been led to believe - and getting them right matters for history, archaeology, heritage and how we understand the past.
