Tories call for 5-year freeze on minimum wage to tackle youth unemployment. So, how will workers in retail, hospitality pay rent, energy, water, food bills? Impact on mental health, NHS, public services? Silence on corporate welfare, soaring exec pay, dividends, share buybacks.

In Germany, the curb can charge your car. Developed by Rheinmetall, these electric vehicle charging points are integrated directly into sidewalk curbs, removing the need for conventional charging posts. The compact system delivers up to 22 kW while taking up virtually no additional sidewalk space.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Leader of party - that sold its own shrivelled soul to the devils of austerity and Brexit - will use her conference speech to slag off Labour (yawn) and make the only promise the Tories ever make - cutting taxes… They have nothing new or credible… or just plain nice… to say any more.

Its unlikely Simon Clarke has bad memories of the 1970s as he was born in 1984. This helps to explain why he forgets a recession made worse by Thatcher driving interest rates up with her uneccessary monetarist policy. The only thing that saved the tories was the Falklands war & North Sea oil.
