A failed state allows such foreign influence and money to dictate policy.
They should not be allowing hate to be funded.

Let’s not forget when the Tories were last in office - according to international Human Rights Watch - the UK was on course to make the list of countries that abuse rather than protect human rights

We need to protect the ECHR, not leave it

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.

The UK Labour Government will allow the Welsh Labour Government to decide where the Welsh share of the so-called 'Shared Prosperity Fund' is spent. In contrast, the Scottish Government is bypassed. Spend in Scotland is dictated by Westminster.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
