This investigation from the @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social is absolutely staggering. It is very common in Sheffield (I live in this bit) to have a leasehold, often with hundreds of years left on and pennies in ground rent. This is extortion pure and simple. www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/a-london-law...

A London lawyer bought hundreds of Sheffield freeholds. Then the ‘very aggressive’ letters arrived

Exclusive: The Tribune can reveal that Andrew Milne has threatened leaseholders with high court action. It ‘broke my heart’ one woman says

One British politician admits he was wrong on Israel. Will others follow? - https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/one-british-politician-admits-he-was-wrong-israel-will-others-follow

One British politician admits he was wrong on Israel. Will others follow?

Alistair Burt, the former Middle East minister, has had time to reflect on his government's inaction over the slaughter of Palestinians - and his assessment is rightly scathing

Any man that has sex with a minor is a paedophile and any man having sec with a trafficked girl is depraved and neither deserve any sympathy

The fact you are trying to defend them says you are sick in the head

This morning the Chancellor spoke of difficult decisions for everyone but the ultra-rich.

It’s time to tackle the cost of living crisis, end child poverty and invest in our vital public services by taxing extreme wealth fairly.

I really wish these guys would stfu now. You all heartily endorsed & swung behind the kick seven shades of shit out of the left & suck up to the racists strategy & but have been bitching about getting absolutely everything you wanted virtually from the start of Labour being in power

James O'Malley @jamesomalley.co.uk
I fullv accept that things are Not Good at the moment for the Labour Party, and I personally find some of the more Blue Labour stuff a bit grim, but I'd like to hear someone explain what the strategy should be that results in the government retaining a majority

Will Jennings @driennings.bsky.s... 1h

It's increasingly obvious that Labour's strategy - call it Starmerism, Blue Labour whatever - has got it badly wrong. It has alienated the party's core vote while failing to win over those leaning to Reform. There was no shortage of people warning them they were getting it wrong either.

My grandad fought in WW2 and always said never glorify war. It was horrific and they were scared everyday. Anyone saying otherwise is lying.

There has never been democracy. It’s just the people who own it have changed. It used to be the aristocracy and now it’s the media billionaires

The working class and the middle class are the sacrificial pawns

Polanski is the only person speaking truth.
In fact only when listening to him do you realise how much bullshit and bilge came out of Starmers trap.

As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep

Govt banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe medications

This should also be banned

Influence being bought in Govt

Patients should influence not the healthy & wealthy

I’ve defended Beto in the past but he’s looking more out of his depth every week. It’s not his fault he’s just not good enough

He seems to be on the wrong side of defenders when the ball is played up to him and always overruns the crosses

Exactly. The problem with Labour is the Labour right have stitched up the selection process so no left wing option

There is no going back from this. Labour is dead
