Fanatical Brexiter and key Brexit negotiator, Lord David Frost, was, in 2024-5, a senior fellow of the Danube Institute which was funded by Orban and promoted his far-right ideology.

This message is approved by the educationalist within me.

Reminded of Miliband's best line

I will report back when I receive a reply to my FoI request

Even more than Starmer, Labour needs to ditch Glasman.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Benefit Fraud costs about £2bn a year.

Tax Avoidance is at least £200bn a year.

One is unaffordable and needs to be cracked down on.

The other is completely ignored.

I bet you already know which is which.

A video viewed over 1.7 million times appears to show an interview with two Muslim women saying people shouldn’t bring dogs to the beach.

For the first time in decades, consensus broke at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. The United States cast the lone “no” vote on a document aimed at improving justice systems for women and girls worldwide. Misogyny is the official policy of the US under Trump.

Corporate capture of the state.

The Post Office with help from Fujitsu, accountants, lawyers illegally convicted postmasters for fraud.

No one charged/prosecuted for lying in courts. Fujitsu gets govt contracts.

Who governs?

This is what is wrong in purity led socialism it won’t make the strange coalition. When it is willing winning will be easier.

You do not defeat billionaire-fascist gangster politics once. You build a society in which it can't breed. Strong labour. Independent media. Clean funding rules. Real enforcement. Shared prosperity. Thick civic life. Fewer abandoned people. Fewer humiliated places. Fewer institutions for sale.

First-ever: Ukrainian interceptor drone downs a Russian Shahed from an unmanned sea platform.

Faiza Shaheen: "This just sends a message.. that this is a group of elites that support each other, that help each other regardless of the types of behaviour.. this really stinks & I think many people wont understand the particulars but what they will hear is this is corruption"

The problem in Fareham & Waterlooville is that only a progressive alliance will shift her.

Concern grows for Suella Braverman as she completely forgets she spent nine years as part of the Conservative government, including two periods as Home Secretary, responsible for immigration.
