Town council demands urgent review of Burraton Field process The authority says the matter is hugely important to Saltash residents and now goes far beyond one parcel of land

I live in Saltash Cornwall. Aldi is determined to build on one of our recreation grounds. Cornwall Council has shamefully agreed to that. Saltash Town Council is opposing it.

The more I hear and read about the genocide in Palestine (and now Lebanon?) the more I become determined to never vote for any party who did not oppose this. A red line has been crossed. Believing in nothing other than money and might will destroy democracy and the West. Fuck them all.

Jewish communities are living in fear amid rising antisemitism, including these appalling arson attacks. We must confront this.

At the same time, antisemitism is being weaponised to shut down criticism of the Israeli government.

Both are true. Both deeply concerning. Both Antisemitic.

Crossover: Why Reform UK Are Now Losing and the Greens Are on the Rise The big untold story of British politics is the decline of Nigel Farage's party and the rise of a new alternative on the left

Statement by UNICEF on the killing of two water truck drivers in the Gaza Strip

Israel kills 2 UNICEF water tank drivers in Gaza. Here's UNICEF's statement.

Where's our government's outrage?

www.unicef.org/press-releas...

Netanyahu has removed 40 thousand homes in Lebanon in less than a month . This war criminal needs to be brought to final Justice.

Starmer knew.

No it's not false. The relevant adjective is that they're Israeli.

Revealed: Mandelson failed vetting but Foreign Office overruled decision Guardian investigation uncovers decision by UK security officials to deny clearance before Mandelson took up role as US ambassador

As well as being a great scoop by Guardian colleagues, this feels potentially very, very bad for Keir Starmer.

2026: Keir Starmer repeatedly says he was not told that Peter mandelson failed security vetting

2025: Oliver Robbins to parliament on November 2025, "It was clear the Prime Minister wanted to make this appointment himself. The FCDO was informed of his decision and acted upon it"

KEIR STARMER IS SPEARHEADING ONE OF THE MOST SHOCKING ATTACKS ON CIVIL LIBERTIES IN MODERN TIMES

The government has absolutely no mandate to do this

The most shocking thing about the Olly Robbins affair is that it has distracted from Pete Hegseth mistaking Pulp Fiction for the Bible.

I'm truly not sure which is worse. If Keir Starmer was informed and is lying about it or that he is so absent as PM that important decisions are taken for him by officials. At least lying about what he knew, while intolerable, would show there is someone in charge and taking an interest.

Israelis, not Jews. Many Jews oppose Israel's actions.
