“Zionism is racism” is not a policy but a slogan. It compresses a complex history, going back millennia, and a very wide set of beliefs into one narrow meaning. The answer to genocide is not discrimination. We don't fight racism with racism. I’m gutted to see this motion adopted by the Green Party.

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

Idk man, a badly behaved cyclist on an ebike can cause as much harm as a car. Seems like basic education on how to share roads with pedestrians and vehicles seems to be missing from all parties involved.

Meta is so unbelievably evil. They make a technology primarily designed to enable abuse, harassment and privacy violations, but also embed real disability aids. The tactic now is to use an entire community as human shields to defend against criticisms www.engadget.com/2236054/meta...

Feel like this should have got more attention "Rapid early assessment by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) estimates there were 2,877 heat-associated deaths during 2 notable periods of hot weather in May and June 2026, almost double the figure reported annually for 2025"
gov.uk
UKHSA report shows 2,877 excess deaths caused by May and June heatwaves
The 2,877 excess deaths represents a significant increase on the 1,504 excess deaths observed in summer 2025.

1,320 people died in the three hottest days of June, 2,700 in total across May and June. These are insane numbers no one seems to be talking about??? www.theguardian.com/environment/...
theguardian.com
May and June heatwaves killed about 2,700 people in England and Wales, data suggests
Extreme heat led to 440 deaths a day during June peak, say scientists, with climate crisis ramping up temperatures

You would think that if they were serious about running, they’d put up as much information on website as possible. I don’t think asking them for information about their candidates is a crazy request. What do you stand for? Why are you running? Why do you care? Surely I this is not an outlandish ask

I know the names of the candidates, but that’s all! There’s no info about who they are, what they care about etc. I’d like to know what I’m voting for and not blindly cast my vote just because they’re in the Green Party.

One month left to apply: People voting in the upcoming local elections in May can apply for a Voter Authority Certificate, a free form of ID that can be used to vote at a polling station. The Electoral Commission is calling for people to get hold of one if they don't have other photo ID

I’ve been in the UK for 3.5 years and am finally finding my footing, I really do plan to stay long term. A lot of my friends are in the same boat. This is a cost a lot of people already here are willing to take on for a better life. So yeah, I do think it’s all about the money. (3)

For a standard 3 year visa, it’s about £5k. Now if you extend the 5 year wait to 10 years for 250k visa applications.. 🤑🤑🤑 (2)

As someone on a visa, my crack pot theory for extending time it takes to get ILR is that it’s an incredible source of income for the UK GOV. Each visa costs ~ £700/year, plus ~ £1k/year for the International Health Surcharge. (1)

All Londoners should be able to swim safely in the capital’s waterways. A proposed bathing water site on the Thames is a big step forward and could help make that possible if approved. My upcoming Clean and Healthy Waterways Plan will take this further.

Thames Water has pushed bills up by nearly a third, taken on £3bn in emergency debt, and still continues to dump raw sewage into our rivers. Now their creditors are bargaining with Ofwat for the future of the utility. If Ofwat says yes, they'll be signing off on 15 years of illegal pollution. 1/2
Charlie Maynard MP has signed our open letter to water regulator Ofwat, and the Environment Secretary, saying NO to illegal pollution until 2040.

Ofwat will be 'investigating' South East Water's abysmal performance, after 30,000 customers were left without water. 🤑Yet its CEO is in line for a £400k bonus. Ofwat Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds should cut to the chase, and bring SE Water into public ownership. ✍️Sign our petition:

I watched the wrong season today and realised I had to jump forward to season 4. Jumping from S3 cast’s behaviour towards Kas to how Sam quickly ganged up against Judy is really sad. Seeing how they’re ostracised or avoided because they’re “suspicious” just doesn’t sit well with me. #traitorsuk
