Just listening to Ella Whelan tell us that the solution to our economic problems is to cut our spending on working towards net zero targets.

Our economy needs to transition away from fossil fuels and ducking the investment needed is as sure a way to failure as any.

Such illiterate nonsense !

Just been listening to this ghoul from Reform pick on one case of an asylum seeker behaving badly to caricature a whole class of people.

Girls actually need protection from the racist mobs she and her ilk are egging on. They are the regular wife beaters and rapists plaguing our streets.

Private Equity Curse.

PE firms taking millions in profits from care sector each yr, over a third are in tax havens

£256m profit in three England regions, £45m in dividends, £33.6m paid in interest mostly to affiliates in tax havens.

Less spent on care. Yet govts handing NHS to PE.

Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

The disturbing escalation of the assault on the BBC should be alarming to anyone who cares about truth, accountability and democracy.

My friend told me this yesterday! Dump Checkatrade - its founder backs Reform.

Glad I did as I certainly won't be using Checkatrade ever again

Wrong. You can't be a 'legend' and 'engaged in rank racism and sexism' at the same time.

It's so frustrating. This misconception is still alive and kicking in today's science circles. Those labelled as 'geniuses' should not be forgiven their awfulness to others.

I think we can say with some certainty that the Guardian sports writers know absolutely nothing about Newcastle United and their fans.

Most fans with few exceptions are desolate that the Mackems sit above us in the league and are desperate for the natural order of things to be restored !

Just been watching this on Newsnight.

Makes you wonder why the likes of @vicderbyshire.bsky.social bother.

Yusuf never answered any questions honestly and frankly it was a waste of time.

I understand the BBC thinks it can challenge Reform - they need to stop deluding themselves and everyone else

Charles Corrigan is accused of Murdering someone outside a train station in August this year.

Does anyone remember that happening?

No because the Media and the trolls on Social Media completely ignore crimes unless they can use them for their own racist agenda.
