Time for the government to stop using X and stop the hostile environment hogwash. It alienates Labour supporters and is too subtle to appeal to Tory or Reform fan clubs. Shabana Mahmoud is just another Theresa May, a faux dominatrix who is all hate and no excitement.

“… we were advancing toward elimination of hepatitis B in the United States,” says Ward “I am deeply concerned that if the ACIP rescinds this policy, they’re going to contribute to the spread of hepatitis B rather than its elimination.”

Ann Lowe, remember the name because you already remember the dresses she designed.
Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.
Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

Saying the quiet part out loud. The USA no longer supports Europe against Russian aggression
Meiselas: The official Trump U.S. National Security Strategy document has been released. The document says a top priority of the U.S. is "cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory." In other words, to destroy the European Union.

All roads lead to Russia. Farage’s saviour is a key Russia investor. Tell me this is irrelevant and then get Tice or Yosef on the TV saying the same
So it appears that the donor of £9m to Reform UK also owns 10% of a crypto-currency company Russia has been using to avoid sanctions!?!

Farage under pressure is Farage under water. The right wing press have failed him by giving him an easy ride. In any event he has no substance, no confidence , just the arrogant bluster that worked while he wasn’t a threat to anyone who mattered. People harmed by Brexit didn’t matter.
I'm really pleased that the accusations against Farage are quite rightly not going away. He appears very, very rattled and deservedly so.
This is very long overdue.

If Ofcom was worth a spit it would censure the BBC for Kuenssberg’s patent anti Labour government bias. It’s not a single event it is a pattern of hostile reporting.
Here’s a trademark headline undermining Labour whilst promoting Reform from Kuenssberg
Yes she mentions the Greens to seem balanced but it’s target is the Govt
No mention that Farage says the minimum wage is "too high for younger workers" and his party would cut it for younger age brackets❗️🤷🏼♂️
