Nearly every media outlet is announcing they will refuse to sign the Pentagon’s new rule stating they cannot report information if it’s not government “authorized.”

Even Newsmax is refusing to sign.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Brummy condemns racist Robert Jenrick on #BBCQT but accidentally uses racist language!

It was a PERFECT illustration of how the concept of racism is distorted by conservatives to help them get away with it.

Well done Zack Polanski!

Another corporate scandal.

Almost all external insulation fitted under Tory scheme needs repair or replacing.

98% of the the 23,000 homes fitted with botched external wall insulation need repairs.

Companies have vanished, people left with the problems.

She’s right . This used to signify more jobs. The two things are moving further and further apart, and they’re doing absolutely nothing to correct it. Credit BBC.

The state we're in

UK full-time employee median wage, £30,816.
4.5m jobs pay less than the real Living Wage.
1.17m workers on zero-hour contracts.
34% of Universal Credit claimants are in work.
16m Britons live in poverty.

Can't build economy on poverty.

Must increase worker share of GDP.
The government must ensure fair distribution of income
'The average real wage of workers has hardly moved from the 2008 level whilst bosses never had it so good.'

Dr Jane Goodall filmed an interview in March 2025 with the understanding it would only be released after her death. This is her final message.

Will fix nothing. I’d imagine crime will increase. Yes, encourage employment so people learn skills, but forcing people into jobs they either don’t like or that won’t help their career growth will not address the issue.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

North Carolina, Michigan, and countless others, when is enough, enough?

When will we all demand better from each other, from our government?

We must stop the hatred of each other, but we must also demand each of our elected officials do more.

The guy that wants people to re-apply for residency, has himself got a passport for Germany, along with his two children, so he doesn’t need to suffer the brexit woes. When I his fans (all ten of them) going to wake up.
