Companies have vanished, people left with the problems.

I find this very touching…& also worrying. Historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social has been an absolutely essential guide to this era. And if he thinks I’m right then we’re in more trouble than we realise

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

This is not an anomaly - it’s an echo of the injustices we saw in Windrush.

A UK‑born child denied a British passport and asked to prove her right to NHS care is a stark reminder that UK policy still fails Caribbean communities and basic principles of equality.

“We'll play some more soon”... it sends shivers down my spine.

It might be well-meaning, but I would not want to be saying that to a convicted pedophile.”

A newly published email from Prince Andrew to Epstein raises questions about their contact timeline.
