A huge summer rebuild is required - Michael Nicholson and Chris McKay cannot be trusted to oversee it. Recent transfer windows and the current state of the playing squad show why.

The Not Another Penny campaign is working. Keep it up and force the change. ✊

Conservative economic policy in the 1980s meant that Britain’s oil windfall was spent on enriching one sector of society and thereby deepening division and inequality, so that by the time the money ran out there was nothing to show for it, least of all a functional rail system. Contrast Norway.

FACTS:

Net Zero barely nudges your bill.

Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof.

So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.

Tomorrow Wes Streeting will remove trans minors ability to access, and doctors to prescribe, cross-sex hormones.

Try as it might Labour will never eradicate trans people. They cannot, and should not, change who they are. All Labour will do is make trans lives harder - with more harm and more death.

March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.

Yep, the US decision not to back the criticism of Russia knocking out Ukraines energy infrastructure makes total sense now.

4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A Pink Guy and an Orange Guy are sitting in the cinema. Pink Guy is munching popcorn and Orange Guy is slurping fizzy pop.
Pink Guy points up at screen and says β€œis that guy cool?”

Panel 2:
Orange Guy pauses drinking and replies β€œhe just blew up a school full of kids”

Panel 3:
Pink Guy says β€œNo, I knowβ€œ

Panel 4:
We see the anti-hero on screen. He is wearing a purple t-shirt and a baseball cap facing backwards.

Pink Guy continues, β€œbut his cap is so BACKWARDS”

Blair can't acknowledge that Starmer is right on this because it would mean facing up to his own culpability re the war in Iraq.

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: β€œA party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said β€œwe have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said β€œmaybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Crypto investor based in Thailand donates further Β£3m to Reform Christopher Harborne’s gift is latest to party’s election war chest and comes amid calls for cap on political donations

Who the hell is this guy? And what does he want as a return on his Β£millions invested in Reform? Because it sure as shit isn’t a fairer, more progressive, equal and prosperous UK with good public services and well-regulated consumer protections.

I can't take credit for these words, by the way. They were first uttered by the sitting Home Secretary.
