CCTV shows the moment a car hits a Muslim woman in broad daylight in southeast London before the driver speeds away.

The woman survived, and an investigation is ongoing, but no suspects have been arrested yet.

Dunblane massacre - Wikipedia

The tragedy of Dunblane lives on in our minds.
These childrenโ€™s deaths, however saved many other lives.
Thanks to the bravery of parents & others, it led to the banning of handguns.
Reform want to bring them back.
Think. Donโ€™t vote for them.

British expats who fled Gulf desperate to avoid huge tax bills after London return The tax implications of a return to the UK are โ€˜troublingโ€™ expats who have flown back to the UK from tax havens like Dubai

If youโ€™ve spent years abroad paying little or no UK tax, itโ€™s reasonable to pay Capital Gains Tax when you return.

Youโ€™re coming back to the roads, hospitals and schools the rest of us have been funding.

Iโ€™m so sick of being ripped off. Petrol companies and supermarkets are the worst offenders.

So they donโ€™t like being called out for it.

I say get used to it we have a Government on the side of the people.

Water crisis looms as company warns it canโ€™t meet demand for new homes Councillors say it must serve as a wake-up call on the Labour government's plans to build 1.5m new homes

South East Water says it can't provide water to all new homes

Water companies haven't built new reservoirs for decades, paid dividends, govts did nothing

Govt wants to build new homes but no infrastructure planning. That's what happens when you privatize essentials infrastructure.

You've all heard of the Resource Curse: countries are impoverished by rich resources in their territories, as these trigger colonial looting.
Now we see the Base Curse: if you host a US base, you don't enhance your security. You make yourself a target.

Israels allies have cynically used a 2SS as cover while supporting an Israeli state thats ethnically cleansing Palestinians & perpetually denying them their rights in the one state that actually exists

The Most Dangerous Corporation in America?
The Most Dangerous Corporation in America? The AI surveillance state is real โ€” and it's being built by Palantir.

Palantir Technologies raked in $1.5 BILLION in income last year โ€” including from lucrative taxpayer-funded DHS contracts โ€” and paid ZERO federal income tax.

It's fast becoming the most dangerous and least accountable corporation in America.

First Past the Post can no longer deliver real mandates - only chaos. 60% of Brits want it scrapped.

Yet the Representation of the People Bill wonโ€™t even touch our voting system, which leaves millions unrepresented.

How democratic is the UK? The UK has a crisis of democracy

Health and social care handed to corporations.

Profits of 32%-43% from cataract surgery.

Profit margins of up to 21% for child fostering services.

19% โ€“ 25% profit margin for residential care for children.

Money buys less. Corporate profits guaranteed. Who asked the people?

I am delighted that the High Court has ruled in my favour on the key issues in the libel case brought by Raffi Berg.

The court rejected the claimantโ€™s interpretation of the article and ruled that it expressed an opinion based on stated material.

Yesterday MPs spoke about the ongoing crisis at Royal Mail & @chriswebbmp.bsky.social was right, "this isn't the fault of the workers"

The solution to the crisis is simple. Renationalise & start running the service for the benefit of the country, not a billionaires bank balance

Why are we politely asking the tech firms to police their sites?

Theyโ€™ve made trillions. They need to be theatened with crippling fines and bans.

We all know what this is really about: Who owns the world? The billionaires or the people.

Governments are giving every sign itโ€™s the billionaires.

Student loans inquiry to look at whether system is 'unfair' The Treasury Committee will look at whether

MPs to investigate student loan system.

Student loan debt in England is ยฃ267bn, expected to hit ยฃ500bn by 2040.

Govt transferred public debt to households, real rates of interest, low repayment threshold, lives blighted.

A new report shows hitting our climate targets by 2050 costs less than one oil shock costs the UK.

"A reminder the Royal Mail and the post office are separate businesses"

Splitting them up made no sense & was an act of vandalism by the Tory/LibDem govt, done solely so they could privatise Royal Mail.
