Wow, Mark Carney speaks on multiculturalism (what a contrast to island of strangers Starmer!)

Mark Carney, "Canada is a nation forged through accommodation, not assimilation"

"Through partnership, not domination"

"The founding insight of our country is that unity does not require uniformity"

Britain's shadow workforce is paid as little as 65p an hour. Who cares for the carers? | Frances Ryan Carer’s allowance turns 50 this year, but it’s no reflection of the labour of the millions who cook, clean and nurse behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

You can still be shocked can't you, even after years of this shit. That sentence chilled me to my bones. To see an American president say that. To see him boast about it.

This is appalling. How on earth can the trip planned by King Charles possibly go ahead after this?

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Next week’s disability cuts will make people destitute – and you might not understand how bad they are until it’s too late | Frances Ryan If new claimants don’t meet strict criteria, they’ll lose half of the health element of universal credit.

Trump claims Starmer is weak as he mocks PM and UK aircraft carriers Footage shows US president saying UK ‘should be our best’ ally and accusing PM of prevarication over sending ships

MPs threaten fresh inquiry into carers allowance scandal amid redress delays Unpaid carers say they remain ‘in limbo’ as DWP continues to pursue discredited repayment bills

A culture of complacency and cruelty? www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

They promise change but don’t deliver. It really does feel like they have it in for carers

Unpaid carers ordered to repay benefits despite DWP knowing rules were unlawful Officials sent out repayment letters to about 1,400 people relying on discredited guidance that had been scrapped

Why pick on us like this? The DWP is punitive and cruel www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

NHS is letting women down through ‘medical misogyny’, says Wes Streeting Exclusive: Mumsnet survey shows half of female patients feel they have been ignored or dismissed by medics

Sadly this has been my experience! Women know their own bodies and know when something is wrong. We don’t need to be disbelieved and patronised. With me, something dismissed as being down to my age turned out to be due to cellulitis caused by a cut finger www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

I’m furious with Starmer. Does he still insist on there being a special relationship? When is there going to be a vote in Parliament?

Supermarkets hit by falling demand for nitrite-cured bacon due to cancer fears Sales of products made the traditional way dropped 7% in three months to 25 January while nitrite-free sales rose 20%

I’ve been trying to avoid nitrites for a while. Why are we still adding carcinogenic additives to food? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

For me it’s a no to using UK bases! When will Starmer wake up to the fact that there is no special relationship @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social ?

Very stable president...

Then he needs to stop trying to ape Reform. What does Labour really stand for?

Palantir were handed a £240m contract without bidding for it by the Government.

It simply shouldn't be legal for the Government to handout huge amounts of money to whoever they like without any oversight.

That's not democracy.

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious
