"When future generations learn that, for 19 months, we woke up every morning to videos of children being burned alive – bombed with weapons that the US taxpayer helped pay for and the western world helped justify – will you be able to say that you spoke up?"

Letter to the editor:
In 2018 alone, the EU gave £5.9bn to help deprived UK regions.

Now the government calls £5bn over ten years “ambitious.”

Brexit really did take from the poor to give to a slogan.
Letter to the editor: £5bn over ten years isn’t ‘ambitious’ – it’s a fraction of what the EU once gave

A peerage, created by letters patent, cannot be revoked by either the Crown or a court. It requires an Act of Parliament, and that hasn't happened since 1917, and even in war... it took years to do.

This is one price of living in Ruritania... sorry Britain. Constitutional reform long overdue.

Mike Johnson Says ICE Shooting a Priest Doesn’t Cross the Line

House Speaker Mike Johnson thinks faith leaders and journalists are fair targets for federal law enforcement officers that have descended on Chicago.

🤔 Wonder what the Pope's gonna say about this....

Republicans have agreed to a consistent message - to call the No Kings rally a “Hate America” rally. America joined our allies to fight the fascist Hitler Nazis in WWII. Now, Republicans are gaslighting the country to think it is somehow unAmerican to not want a fascist authoritarian government.

Trump on Spain: "It wouldn't matter if you said you're not gonna protect them, because they are pretty much protected. What are you gonna do -- go through the other countries and let's go attack Spain, right? ... I was thinking about giving them trade punishment through tariffs. I may do that."

Requiring migrants to obtain the equivalent qualification to English language at A level (not English literature) is ridiculous. Most UK graduates don't have an equivalent qualification. This is xenophobic and racist. Among other things, what about Wales?

On October 2—just a few minutes shy of 11 PM in Portland, Oregon—a federal agent shot peppery spray into the vent hole of Seth Todd’s inflatable frog costume. Todd was protesting ICE outside of Portland’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office.
