Ancestral immigrant to the UK. Normal but different, maybe even a little strange. Is a moral, caring society something of the past .. outdated .. lost forever ? Animals deserve better, humans need to do better by them.🐾👣

There is only one way UK gets to do that, and it's with the tax I am asked to pay. I am more than willing to allow my tax to be used to defend Ukraine, they are our family, and under attack from Vladimir Putin.

The Government is letting data centre developers bypass local scrutiny... BUT they don't even know what the data centres are being used for 🤯 It's time to put the brakes on. It's time for a national data centre strategy.
UK government does not know what datacentres are being used for, FoI request shows

This summer Britain burnt. 3000 people died from the heat. Yet this Government is drilling for more gas, despite scientist warnings & it won't make a difference to bills in the UK. We need to double down on renewables, not bend to the wishes of fossil fuel bosses. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The government is set to give the go-ahead for the gas field off the coast of Aberdeen, the BBC understands.

We don't have a housing crisis because we have a planning problem - whether you blame that on Newts or not. It's because we have a building problem - an effective cartel of big builders, sat on massive (12 yr) landbanks, which they release into the market at the speed which ensures high house prices

It's looking as if Burnham & his supporters have been planning this challenge for quite some time. I suspect they're behind all the unnamed source tittle tattle which has so damaged Starmer and his Government. If I'm right, it's truly shocking, Labour politicians destabilising a Labour government.

Business Secretary Peter Kyle says Keir Starmer was “calm” and “thoughtful” on Friday when he last spoke to him. It was a “frank” conversation. “Repeatedly the PM asked about the country… not once did he ask about self-interest.”

Why are some people carrying on as if Burnham holding a seat Labour won in 2024 and have held since 1983 is a magnificent achievement? He wouldn't have done a deal with Simons if he wasn't certain he'd win. The Greens and Lib Dems stood aside to make sure he did, this isn't democracy.

Britain is a healthy democracy when it has two parties, centre left & centre right which its pendulum swings between. David Cameron started the rot by giving into right wing extremism and selling out the country to Brexit in which he allowed lies & disinformation to swallow up Britain's democracy.

It's truly inspiring to see Wes Streeting call for decisiveness in govt after a week in which he denied he'd resign; then resigned but said he wouldn't stand as leader; then said finally he intends to stand as leader, so we can rejoin the EU, a policy he was dead against last week.
