Know something about housing, homelessness & welfare benefits. Opinions galore about lots of other things. Probably wrong about many of them. A bit grumpy since 2016.

Reform is simply saying it will scrap it - to some audiences.

But also saying that they would relegislate for all of the anti-discrimination protections in it - to other audiences!

Loomer spent weeks posting racist stereotypes about Indians on X then flew to India anyway. Rajdeep Sardesai looked her dead in the eye & said “you’re brazenly racist and Islamophobic.” She had no answers. Just tears.

U.S. mainstream media, take notes. This is accountability journalism.

A farm worker resting of strawberry picking. Her pants are discolored with strawberry stains

The short peak season has begun in the strawberries on CA's Central Coast. In this 9 hour day, "Irma" managed to pick 90 flats or 1,020 of the plastic 1 pint boxes we buy at a supermarket. (A flat holds 12 plastic one pint baskets). She earns $2.20 a flat. #WeFeedYou

Instead of a thousand words.

War veteran Kristina Sanina and World’s Strongest Man title holder Vasyl Virastiuk walked the runway at Ukrainian Fashion Week for the FW 26/27 season.

The strongest looks are not designer clothes, but the stories of strong and real people.

Reform plans ‘ideological purge’ of Whitehall | The Observer Fears the party will pack civil service with ‘believers’ rather than the brightest and the best if it wins election

The key to Reform's planning for power is that the strong view of party insiders that the model for a Farage government is "be much more like Trump's second term than his first'

But its a significant political risk - because Trump is unpopular and Trump 2.0 is toxic

There is so much destruction and damage and people hurt by Russian drone and missile attack on Ukraine this night and early morning and then during the day and even though I’m trying I just can’t seem to cover it, I mean like really all of it,
and this sheer fact might be
the most horryfying one

It's a shame the BBC have no interest in standing up for fair & factual political journalism. They have lost so much credibility due to their constant promotion of Reform, with no interrogation of their links to Russia & dodgy donors. LibDems might as well not exist as far as Mason is concerned.

a tan chihuahua-sized rodent with a graying muzzle is being held aloft in front of a white wall. the creature looks at the camera with dark, round eyes. each of his ears are the size of his head, sticking out on either side like satellites. he looks a little embarrassed that he's been caught.

We only rate dogs. This is clearly a gigantic mouse that someone just found in their home. Please gently return them to the garden and only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: kitsune_inu)

Well, it is in the DOJ records that Epstein was advising Russian officials how to handle Trump after his 2016 election. If he had kompromat, there were many routes for sharing it

Ofcom rules appear weak on socialisation of hatred and violence.

GB News appears in systemic breach of "due impartiality" in its coverage of many topics
- integration, especially Muslims
- immigration
- asylum
- Trump
- London Mayor
- Govt

Persistent 75-25 or 90-10 skew right on contested issues.

Dramatic headlines about one little drone attacking Dubai today? We have about 50 of them now flying around Ukraine , attacking Sumy, Kharkiv , like some gigantic disgusting mosquitos. None of it would make mainstream news anymore though, unless they destroy something that is dramatic enough

Forget that. It’s actually 60 Russian drones now . Also, first missile launches where just detected

Danny Bones: the AI rapper funded by a far-right party Advance UK has hired the mystery ‘collective’ behind Danny Bones, a white-nationalist musician and activist – who isn’t real

His anti-Muslim and pro-mass-deportation videos have gone viral with millions of views. Advance UK, the far-right party led by Ben Habib, paid the anonymous group behind him to produce a range of propaganda pieces. But English-Nationalist “rapper” Danny Bones doesn't actually exist @tbij.bsky.social

Nothing quite like reports about possible massive drone and missile attack and 6 Russian bombers detected earlier in the air and Russia preparing to launch missiles from Bryansk to spice up a Friday night

It's been 2 years since Lee Anderson joined Reform, but more importantly - it's nearly 7 years since he lied to a journalist and got his mate to pretend he didn't know him.

Drone attack on Dubai today just shows you can think you’re doing business with Russia, you can welcome Putin ignoring the arrest warrant - and then Shahed drones , tested and modified in Russia’s war against Ukraine, can still bomb you.
