Coming to the UK if Reform gets in. Probably the Tories too, eventually.

Right fuck this. I have reported Danny Tommo’s YouTube video and I implore others to do the same. They are platforming a man who live streamed himself essentially committing a crime and he will be making money off of it as well. Please please report the video www.youtube.com/live/lkeZbk8...

The Guardian joins the campaign to abolish the state pension triple-lock. Portrays it as a old v young, social security v defence spending issue. Silence on corporate welfare, tax perks of the rich, maldistribution of wealth, low govt spend on state pension, how future retirees will survive.

Britain needs cash and everyone knows we should break the pensions triple lock. Where is the courage? | Gaby Hinsliff

The issue cannot be avoided any longer. Andy Burnham and his chancellor must face the fear of a pensioner backlash, and find a fair solution, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

Need to be careful, however, that smaller creditors are protected as losing a few thousand can send them under.

The police need to act on this with zero tolerance, and every government minister needs to condemn this unequivocally without even a hint of "legitimate concerns". Beyond abhorrent.

The government must know full well that many people have neither the space nor the money to store extra food in their homes. It is individuating responsibility for a collective problem. As usual, it is the poorest and most excluded who will suffer from it. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I'm slow reading Left Hand of Darkness at the moment, and there's so much in there that rhymes with current times. Will definitely read more by her.

Disagree with this as a matter of principle. This creates a hierarchy of the value of a human life.

Curious about what you think is wrong in principle with the not-for-profit social housing sector. My wife works in that sector and all I see is hard-working people committed to making a positive contribution.

Looking forward to the planning application for homes on (for example) Hyde Park getting a default approval given its close proximity to transport hubs.

Watching Sky paper review and the attitude of the journalists (especially Susie Boniface) that they aren't responsible for the effects of their reporting is maddening.

Using the UK national emergency warning system to effectively tell people to avoid using barbeques is the height of official idiocy. Must be run by the same people who control motorway variable speed signs. Overuse of the system will lead people to ignore it.

And yet a significant chunk of the British electorate would vote for them. Bewildering.

A government which freezes income tax allowances but allows rents to rise unrestricted is not on the side of the people.

At astonishing speed, our rights are being cancelled, worldwide. In the UK, the prosecution of Rajiv Menon KC is the latest example of blatant authoritarianism. Why? Because this is what billionaires and corporations demand. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If they can be taken away, they were never rights. They were privileges, conferred by our 'betters'.

I'd like a government that prioritises health, education, housing and the environment. And that doesn't have Wes Streeting in it.

This from the idiot who, while foreign secretary, met former KGB officer Alexander Ledbedev without aides present, then gave his son a peerage despite security warnings. But sure, Ed Miliband is a risky choice. Who prints this BS?
