Thousands of young people could lose key disability benefits Govt could limit the Personal Independence Payment (Pip), and further strip Motability support. Hope the govt sees sense and doesn't repeat Starmer policies. Why not end corporate welfare?

Chinese Govt owned Syngenta to cease operations at Grangemouth, 400 jobs at risk. Previously oil refinery closed. England-based British Steel rescued. What would govt do now? UK govts oppose state ownership but let foreign govts own infrastructure. Why? Any industrial strategy?

#BREAKING | A former Israeli hostage said that Israel could have secured the release of the hostages and end the war a year earlier, in 2024, but 'political and personal considerations' got in the way. In other words - the Israeli far right, Ben Gvir and Smotrich, refused to stop the genocide
