MPs are still having to table amendments to the toxic DWP Welfare Bill The idea that the DWP will still reassess someone with Parkinson’s or MS - and then potentially cut the Health Element of Universal Credit - is both medically incoherent and morally reprehensible www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

So many people take things for granted, as if it's just the natural order of things that their rights are the way they are, rather than realising that most of the stuff that makes their life bearable was actually won for the though the activism and sacrifice of generations of socialists.

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”
Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: “The President's federal deployment of the National Guard over the official wishes of a governor is bad for all Americans concerned about freedom of speech and states rights. The governor has the authority and ability to respond to the civil disturbances with law enforcement capabilities within his state, augmented as necessary by requesting law enforcement assistance from other governors. There are over a million badged and trained members of law enforcement in this country for the governor to ask for help if he needs it. While this is presently a legal order, it tramples the governor’s rights and obligations to protect his people. This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Banning bonuses for failing water company bosses is important, obvs - but it’s hardly the best we can do? 👀 If we’re serious about ending pollution for profit, water needs to be brought back into public ownership *now*. The fact that Labour Govt won’t even allow it to be considered speaks volumes

The only solution to water pollution is nationalisation which cuts out the need to pay dividends to shareholders and spend the income instead on investment in cleaner water and less pollution.

On this day 36 years ago, one man stopped a column of tanks.
The Tank Man (also known as the Unknown Protester or Unknown Rebel) is the nickname given to an unidentified individual, presumed to be a Chinese man, who stood in front of a column of Type 59 tanks leaving Tiananmen Square in Beijing on June 5, 1989.
