The UK is richer now than it has ever been, the richest 1% alone have enough money to give every other man, woman and child in the UK £50,000 each. But these are the only people who we won't tax.

A village in Norfolk saved its red phone box by making 146 calls in a day – almost three times the required annual number. Elsewhere, these iconic kiosks have found new life as libraries, defibrillator stations and even tiny museums.

5 babies - one not even 3 weeks old - die from cold in Gaza. And Israel has created those conditions. Too many in the International Community have helped Israel create those conditions by the continuing supply of arms even when it is obvious it is supporting genocide.

I feel that the flag needs to be waved a bit this morning… It’s that time of day to state unequivocally that not only do we wish to be a part of Europe… …but those who sought to remove us from the advantageous lives that we once experienced should be duly investigated, and consequently locked up!

The Labour government is banning neonicotinoid pesticides, due to harm to bees and pollinators. Though allowed for emergencies like sugar beet, it’s now a full ban. Green groups back it, but farmers must adapt. It’s about protecting nature and fixing biodiversity loss. #ukpolitics

If we’d been shown this headline in 2016, we may have struggled to believe such a mess could be possible. But here we are, 8 years on, being asked to consider concessions on fish and opportunities for young people. And the inescapable crappiness and tedium of it all is.. well.. just so very sad.
The i front page:
 
EU tells Starmer: your Brexit reset is doomed without a better offer on fish and under-30s

» European diplomats warn Keir Starmer that he still needs to make major concessions to the
EU if he wants new deals on trade and security - with Brussels prepared to drive a hard bargain
»Leaked negotiating documents show that the EU is demanding a new fishing agreement as a precondition to the start of any talks, plus easier migration for under 30s between the two sides 
» Brussels wants to make the UK adopt the bloc's laws in exchange for getting a veterinary agreement which would boost British farming and food trade, a key plank of Starmer's strategy
» European diplomatic sources say most EU nations are happy with the status quo - and claim they are becoming exasperated by the UK making demands without offering concessions

Farage has identified the East of England as a crucial battleground, describing it as “fertile ground” for Reform because of its hostility towards “European entanglements.” Also eyeing gains in the 2026 Welsh & Scottish elections. In Wales, a recent poll placed the party in second place with 23%

If financial backing were the sole measure of a party's success, Reform would be home and dry.
