In that case the law should be promptly changed so that such tactics are illegal and consent is impossible. It’s an insidious tactic, as we know that gambling debt can cause such distress.

Donald Trump's cuts to USAID are estimated by a study published in The Lancet to result in 14 million deaths by 2030, including 4.5 million deaths in children under 5 years old.

I find Ed Davey - who, as a minister in the Tory-led coalition, was in charge of the Post Office during the Horizon scandal - calling for the resignation of Starmer for 'not knowing what was going on under his management' somewhat amusing

Ed lacks self-awareness, it appears

Israeli soldiers using sexual assault to force Palestinians out of West Bank, report says Experts say attacks, also carried out by settlers, are leading girls to quit school and enter early marriages

Should we be surprised, when the so called ‘leader of the free world’ has been adjudged a rapist? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

‘It’s not fair’-he took the job,made decision & should have realised that if it went south,he’d be blamed.Perhaps due to his alleged condescension to ‘ministerial authority’ he didn’t recognise that consequence as likely but if unelected civil servants are making calls such as this they must answer.

How long before he gets the sack? He hasn’t resigned, despite insisting that Angela Rayner should (even though his ‘error’ is on an entirely different scale.)

We don’t have midterms you absolute melt!
And they have no effect on parliament

Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.

This is a well-documented pattern in medical research and reflects systemic gender bias in pain assessment and treatment.👇

Isn’t it more worrying if they not only didn’t know but only just found out ? Even as someone who does not want a leadership challenge or a general election anytime soon, someone sick of the general incompetence but endless greed for power of many politicians - this is difficult to accept.

How is he supposed to fund Johnson if he has to pay a fair tax?!

You know what's really embarrassing about this conflict? Iran has a 90 percent literacy rate while 50 per cent of the US reads at the 6th grade level or below. Iran sent Phds to the ceasefire talks. The US sent realtors.

Whenever he is rude in this way, the next question should be ‘what she said.’ He is used to seeing American journalists ignore the misogyny and it is past time for that behaviour to be called out in a way that is impossible to ignore.

Yesterday Israel bombed an ambulance in Lebanon, killing paramedic Hassan Badawi

Over the last two & a half years Israel systematically targeted healthcare workers in Gaza, murdering hundreds, and the failure of the world to take action means Israel is free to do it again.
