The outrageous behaviour of the Tories & hereditary peers in the House of Lords deserves much wider coverage than it’s getting. Only letting Labour’s manifesto commitment through in return for lots more Tory life peers. What a discredited institution.

So we've had them push out the left.

Then alienate the centre left.

Then piss off the centrists.

Now they're busy alienating each other on the right in some elaborate game of chicken to see who dares go furthest?

'The Labour Party'. Dear God.

Please just believe us when we promise to save you loads of money in government. Whatever you do, don’t look at what we have actually done in practice with the local authorities we run, which is increase taxes, cut services and lose 1 in every 10 councillors.

The Greens want NIMBY votes and they want votes from people who want massive renewables investment and they want votes from people who want cheaper housing and lower rents. They can dodge the obvious contradictions of this for a while - luxury of insurgent opposition - but not forever.

Because as we learnt with the Covid VIP lane, the UK media will always protect the rich and powerful right up until they can't get away with it any more. (e.g. the purchase of Nigel Farage's Frinton property.)

He thinks the PM should never go to the football or a concert ever again because being in a secure location instead of the stands is a disgraceful extravagance.

It is always the FT, the Economic Times and the newsroom of the WSJ (not the editorial team). Oddly, they've become the most trustworthy sources of news, who tell it as it is without "both siding" it. Must be because of their intended audience that has a direct stake wars' impact on global markets.

Because the FT is a serious paper, bought by people who want actual news? It’s never going to expand its readership through outrage clicks, and would put off its current readership if it ever tried, is my guess.

Elizabeth Warren: “For the Trump administration to say over & over, there's no money for healthcare – there's no money for childcare – there's no time to pay attention to how families are paying more – but there's a billion dollars a day to go to the Middle East & drop bombs on Iran”

‼️🇮🇷❌🇮🇱🇺🇸 Israel is exposed!

Iran has destroyed several AN/TPY-2 radars of the American THAAD system (notably in Jordan and the UAE). As a result, warning sirens now sound in Tel Aviv when missiles are already very close, or even at the moment of impact.

Lol Trump saying "it's basically done" having achieved absolutely nothing but mass civilian death, raised prices for everyone on the planet, turmoil billions wasted on munitions, and alienating America's key allies.

The worst president in the history of the US. MAGA idiots.

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

Of course he has.

Nothing will happen.

Labour MPs just voted to expand free school meals to half a million more children, lifting 100,000 children out of poverty.

The Tories and Reform UK voted against.

Only Labour will give children growing up in our country the best start in life.

Relaunched digital ID will make it easier to access services, minister says Darren Jones says the scheme - originally aimed at curbing illegal working - is now about improving services.

Releasing it voluntarily was always the best idea

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's amazing how quickly people are okay with handing over data for convenience (especially when you're handing it to someone who already has it)

"Digital ID" is scary

"Government portal app" isn't
