Last week, the Barbakan owner plead poverty to Andy Burnham and all the hospitality places in Chorlton and Manchester backed her up. It turns out her Dad is extracting millions in retirement. There is no poverty, just bad financial planning. www.reddit.com/r/manchester...

English commentators need to stop analysing Northern Ireland through an English lens! When you see anti-immigrant riots in Belfast, Ballymena or Larne and immediately reach for "Britain's far-right problem", you're missing half the story. This isn't just racism. It's loyalist terrorism. 1/

I can vouch that if you raise this subject directly with the ringleaders of these groups they will quite literally roll their eyes and scoff at you because they quite proudly do not actually give a shit. Their priority is racism and always will be.

Reminder for all UK dual nationals: As of the 25 Feb 2026, dual nationals will not be able to travel to the UK on their 'other' passport. If, for example, you or your dual citizen children live abroad & currently don't hold a UK passport, you need to get one (for them) in order to re-enter the UK.

Find it a bit weird that a lot of critics are turning on The Traitors. S4 I think has been the best only really topped still by the S2 finale but overall a more fun series. I would go S2, then 4 and then the Irish Traitors! But opinions be opinions.

Been gifted a subscription to Ground News and I'm not sure what the value of the service is? I think I have a good read on whether a piece is right or left leaning, and what is the veracity of Ground News itself in determining this is right or left? Is there value beyond that in the platform?

The thing that I notice the most about AI generated images, more than weird hands or blurry faces is that the eyelines are always all over the place, they never seem to quite connect with what they are meant to be looking at.

Broadcast media both sides the issue either because of their politics, instinct for self preservation, and or their own shallow grasp of the issue. Talking heads available to make claims for each side of the argument.... we know where this story leads!

Something I don't really get with the disability benefit cuts. Give someone a benefit it generally goes back into the economy right? They aren't hoarding it, they are spending that on rents, being able to go to the shops, get a haircut etc People being able to live a normal life should make sense

With Hungary would it not be better that they are cast out of the EU in some way? Orban is already in the pocket of Putin. I know the worry is you just push him closer to Russia but isn't that already the case? Is he not just going to act as a spoiler in the EU for any meaningful action?
