LibDems are meeting for their spring conference in York with some major policy announcements on right to jury trials, the independence of the BBC, Trump, Iran etc. now will our 3rd largest party at Westminster see any coverage? Yet the broadcasters now take every weekly reform press conference live.

Sentenced to 2 years in jail for putting tomato soup on glass, which took 10 seconds to wipe off.

I just signed a petition to stop the rollout of facial recognition surveillance in the UK.

The Government and shops are scanning us without clear laws in place, using our faces like barcodes.

It feels really invasive. Can you take 30 seconds to sign it too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

An article β€œMore than one million foreign nationals are receiving benefits”
(March 17, 2025) referred to the number of β€œforeign nationals” receiving
benefits, and gave the rate of benefit claims for various nationalities. In fact,
the particular DWP data on which the article was based recorded the
nationality of claimants when registering for a National Insurance number,
rather than the nationality at the time they were claiming benefits, so that
some claimants might have since acquired UK citizenship, and would not be
foreign nationals at the time they were claiming benefits. This correction has
been published following an upheld ruling by the Independent Press
Standards Organisation.

Fully *one year later*, the Telegraph has been forced (by @ipso.co.uk) to admit that it was lying about foreign nationals claiming benefits.

Where was Farage’s closest aide and Reform UK Welsh leader Nathan Gill heading when he was arrested for taking bribes from Putin’s pal Medvedchuk?

To a Kremlin sponsored conference in Moscow, to talk about the role of crypto currencies in politics

The warnings are there for us all to see

Post from Drop Site News claiming Bellingcat geolocation confirms U.S. Tomahawk missiles struck a girls’ primary school in southern Iran, killing around 180 people, most of them children, with an embedded tweet describing footage of the strike.

Further confirmation of what Trump keeps denying and what Hegseth won't admit to. It was the U.S. that struck that girls’ school.

No one should be prejudiced against, attacked, abused or stereotyped because of their religion.

Pretty basic but it still needs saying louder for those at the back.

Full solidarity with Hannah Spencer, this is absolutely disgraceful behaviour.
This is a direct attack on our democracy, Hannah is an elected MP that has the right to walk free in the city she represents without these extremists behaving like thugs

Now come on, be serious, the public no longer view Starmer as anything but a lame duck PM. No one thinks about his approach to anything, they are all just wondering how many more hits he can take before he's replaced. Zack is just doing his job. Not his fault Starmer sucks at being PM.

Perhaps he's going to bomb us next so he can replace Starmer? It's mad and under Trump, America is a threat to all of us.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
