Funny thing I recall the debate back when it was linked to inflation not earnings which was seen as unfair and at the time I thought "link to inflation seems a fair basis for a state benefit" and now that earnings rarely keep track with inflation of course the distinction has switched the other way.

I must say I’m very disappointed in the police over their dealing with the RAF Fairford incident. By announcing that the suspects are British nationals, they have completely undermined the stream of made up bollocks from myself and every other right wing gobshite on Twitter.

Odd to think that this headline might have appeared decades ago because he was deep in the jungle or polar wastes but now it’s just a sad case of elder abuse.

Without local news the reality is you have no local democracy. Elections dont hold politicians to account, the media does.

There's never an ask for Russia. Ukraine are going after the refineries to bring their economy and war economy to a halt so that they stop killing Ukranians and leave Ukraine.

My God. This is the center of Kyiv. A civilian building, a historic one, built in the 1850s. Russian terror knows no bounds. They are attacking and killing Ukrainian civilians just because they can. If Russia is not stopped, it will expand its terror and violence.

I don’t understand this “very British/very English” framing. According to the Today programme it was “very English” that a member of the public called the police on seeing something dodgy. I’d no idea this is a specifically English thing. Perhaps we can encourage other countries to adopt this idea?

"Yemen's internationally recognised government" is a fiction. It doesn't govern Yemen, it isn't a government and, increasingly, it lacks any international credibility. I have no idea why it continues to be described in this misleading way.

I really don’t think the Chagos “dispute” is rocketing anywhere. It’s clear that REFUK and their little helpers @telegraph.co.uk were desperate to get Trump to say something about it, so they prompted him. He mumbled about a bad deal but it was hardly front of Trump’s disordered mind.

And climate change is the thing we must act on extensively and drastically. Because the projected population growth & its peak well north of 10 billion mid century is going to happen. We can't avoid that part. Only how much climate change we get, is a choice. And it's what will make or break it all

I remember reading of this issue in 2004, in Edward O. Wilson's book, "The Future of Life". "The Bottleneck", he called it: human population will be higher than ever, mid century, just as, for the first time, our ability to increase food production falters because of climate change
