Disney Layoffs Hit Marvel Studios Hard The Academy Award-winning artists behind some of Marvel's biggest hits are among the casualties from company wide staff reductions.

Devastated to hear the entire Marvel Studios’s Visual Development team has been let go. This was my old home but more importantly, the home of so many incredible artists and peers.

Absolutely heartbreaking 😔
Sending all my impacted peers my love and support. Please reach out if you need anything!

The constant ticking timebomb is that you are replaceable and people who are not creative and have no respect for the work decide who gets replaced.

I am so sorry for my friends enduring this, those being laid off and the rest who will now be expected to work even harder to fill the gap.

Who's got a piece of Wes Streeting?

Who's got a piece of Wes Streeting?

Wes Streeting having the chutzpah to tell the story about the NHS.

He doesn't tell the bit about how much he's accepted from private healthcare and the risk our NHS is at under this Labour Government.

And most of all, lots of questions about his meetings with Palantir.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

I do not think that conflating the Jewish people and the Jewish state is responsible at this juncture.

Reform UK really are so lucky.

For a party of eight MPs they have the UK’s biggest news broadcaster on retainer.

Here we see their political editor doing the job of a local newspaper reporter.

For Farage.

EIGHT MPs.

These files confirm that Mandelson's malign influence runs through this Labour government.

Starmer knew exactly the choice he was making when he appointed him. He has to go.

Daily Record. Police called to 6,000 domestic abuse incidents in Scotland over Christmas 2024 Wendy Chamberlain said the figures gave a "terrifying" sense of the scale of the issue, as she urged the Scottish Government to act. 8 Mar 2026.

5 years since the Domestic Abuse Act passed and the SNP are still dragging their heels over the crucial protections within it.

We passed a motion at our conference calling for an end to these delays, so we can remove abusers from the family home and keep women out of harm’s way.

Scottish Liberal Democrats are winning again.

We are poised to take constituencies off the SNP right across Scotland.

But wherever you are, every vote for the Scottish Liberal Democrats on the second peach ballot will deliver change with fairness at its heart.

Starmer needs to get on the phone to Trump and ask him to set out a plan to protect civilians and support a democratic transition in Iran.

We've seen before that bombs don't bring about democracy and regime change without a plan just leads to more chaos and suffering.

I actually am unhinged enough to think it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he launches a war to distract from Epstein files and have a reason to declare a national emergency to suspend voting. It’s not as if lost lives matter to him.

Deform had the Heil, Express, Dementiagraph and DontBuyTheSun pushing its message of lying, divisive, fear mongering hatred, & a tv channel employing its leader and its candidate in Gorton and Denton, & still the public said no.
I wonder if there's a connection between this front page & this cash?

Uncut Trumpism. No election is valid unless they win it. Farage and Reform UK are outright enemies of democracy and the Mail is actively aiding them.

I see Nigel "always cheated never defeated" Farage is now trying to stop non UK citizens from voting. This would mean my Irish wife would have no right to vote despite giving 20 years of hard work and taxes to the UK state.

And where does it stop - the unemployed/benefit claimants will be next

Meanwhile, politicians from across the Israeli political spectrum expressed their support Saturday for the operation, with opposition leaders offering swift statements as the country braced for potential retaliation.

“I want to remind us all: The people of Israel are strong. The IDF and the Air Force are strong. The strongest power in the world stands with us,” Opposition Leader Yair Lapid wrote in English on his X account. “In moments like these, we stand together – and we win together. There is no coalition and no opposition, only one people and one IDF, with all of us behind them.”

When it’s all said and done history will put Trump and Epstein as the world largest sex traffickers. The disgusting part of it all Trump was elected as America’s President and a large electorate find him as god’s chosen one.

I feel like Marvel has given up on any sort of coherent universe. They pivot and cancel series so fast and launch new #1s all the time so you can't invest in any storyline. DC doesn't seem to have that problem lately. This isn't a Marvel vs DC thing, DC has done just as badly in the past.

Will the Government postpone enforcement to prevent British citizens from being wrongly denied boarding? 

Will the Government introduce a low-cost, one-off travel authorisation, like Canada did, for dual nationals whose citizenship can easily be verified? 

Will the Government ensure urgent help through consulates, high commissions and the UK Visas and Immigration helpline?

Lib Dems are pressing the Government to reverse damaging changes hitting dual British nationals, leaving some families separated or facing high costs to return home.
My colleague Manuela Perteghella MP has challenged the Minister with three Lib Dem proposals to put this right.

Loneliness can have an extremely damaging impact on peoples’ lives.

The more people retreat into themselves, the greater the risk of mental and physical illnesses. It’s at the root of so many serious health problems.

It’s time we took it seriously as a public health priority.
