What would you be willing to give up to allow governments to do what they think's best instead of what they were elected on?

You already pay more in the supermarket because Amazon requires its sellers to offer the cheapest prices on their site.

Your supermarket prices have to be enough to cover postage and handling you don't need

'Last year Richard Tice said Angela Rayner should resign if she had any moral decency after she'd underpaid stamp duty, should he also resign then by his own standards?'

1st May 2026

That's the date the US is projected to have 1,000 billionaires

No universal healthcare, massive gaps in rail infrastructure, and undrinkable water in many states.

Billionaires though. The American dream!

I don't think different rules do apply to Trump

Not only the just thing to do, but right for the people, and makes the process of eventually moving water into pubic ownership cheaper - by making it unpalatable for grifters

Bandwidth of people should be the measure; you're 💯 correct

The decisions should move away from Westminster. The government is afraid of anyone else making a decision, but the correct way to run any department is to fund it, measure it, and steer it

The exchequer should not make these decisions

How South Korea plans to use the Iran crisis to spur a renewables revolution Energy crisis unfolding in Middle East has added political urgency, and more funding, to transform the solar industry in particular

This village uses its solar income on free communal lunches, buses and other communal efforts.“If you divide money as individual income, people feel disconnected. People who didn’t know each other for years now get to know each other within days”

I love everything about this.

Typhoon jets launched as aircraft tracked near UK Typhoon fighter aircraft were launched from RAF Lossiemouth on 14 April after an unidentified aircraft was tracked approaching the UK area of interest.

Russians are mapping for gaps in our defenses because they know the only repercussion is they'll be turned away

It's a shame there are so many cases of these free carparks filling and forcing people to pay elsewhere and walk further

I'm not defending charging for spaces, but it's clearly not a solved problem

Private companies should never be able to control access to infrastructure

If you created something that became a market or a valuable piece of infrastructure, we'll done. You won at life. It's for the people now.

That includes software - operating systems and search engines should be public

Things can't go on like this, Starmer tells social media bosses It comes as the government continues to consult on whether to ban under-16s from social media in the UK.

🤳 Starmer: "It's clear to me that parents aren't asking us for tweaks at the edges, they're asking us whether a system that clearly isn't working for children should be allowed to continue at all."

Dear media, please stop calling it "the conflict in the Middle East" and start calling it "Trump's war."
"We are likely to face fuel, fertiliser and food shortages because of Trump's war"
Now doesn't that sound more accurate?

"Man who doesn't pay fair share of tax threatens to not pay tax if he has to pay tax"

Weird how the wealthy always act like they're going to leave if the party gets expensive. It's not about what they need. It's about using wealth as a scorecard.
