You are a wealth tax that reduces inequality. I am a property tax that funds local government services. We are not the same.

As calls grow for prostate cancer screening to be offered to men over a certain age, it’s worth looking again at why it’s so important.

The trouble with dribbles – a revealing prostate cancer journey
Prostate cancer can develop silently. Some have no classic prostate cancer symptoms. Early checks are vital – sometimes, the signs are hidden

The man suspected of shooting two National Guard members was once part of a CIA-backed paramilitary group, one of several so-called Zero Units, according to Afghan and U.S. officials.
Here’s a Look at the D.C. Shooting Suspect’s C.I.A.-Backed Unit in Afghanistan
The units were backed by the C.I.A. and trained to conduct missions in Afghanistan during the U.S. war in the country.

I was chatting about British accents today and was asked about mine. I don't think I have much of an accent, but apparently (thankfully), I do. I described it as a hybrid of #Bristolian and #Somerset, which I've decided to call #Bristomerset!

We have been calling for an end to the two-child limit since it was introduced in 2017.

Scrapping it is the most cost-effective way to reduce child poverty, and a welcome step from this Chancellor.

A few weeks ago, we outlined three key reasons why it had to go ⤵️

In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.

Elite capitulation continues.

Read all about it here:

Trump Angrily Threatened to Sue BBC. Then Things Took a Darker Turn.
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

The Commons isn’t usually the place for sharp comedy, but today’s Budget delivered a moment that made even the frontbench blink.

Let’s just say Russia came up… and Farage was the punchline. 🔥

We're entering silly season in #Bristol, where the council's road repair contractors, #ETM are called out to repair the same pothole on Stoke Lane 3 or 4 times, with all the cost and delays that come with those.
Do BCC ever check the quality of these repairs?

When it comes to peace in #Ukraine, the #WhiteHouse under #Trump is clearly working for #Russia. The Russian wish-list that has been backed by the White House is so clearly against Ukraine, European and #NATO interests, it's inconceivable any previous US administration would've backed it.
November 24, 2025 at 7:12 PM
The goal of Russia is to break #NATO - and Trump is doing all he can to assist.

Trump is taking a very pro-Russian stance wherever Ukraine is concerned. This current draft deal has been referred to as a Russian wish list. Are US citizens happy with the position their President is taking? Europe will stand firm, with or without Trump.

This is not a peace plan.

It's complete capitulation to the war criminal in the Kremlin, orchestrated exclusively by Trump and his apparent master there without any input from Europe or Ukraine. It is obscene that the White House even saw fit to advance this proposal, let alone issue an ultimatum.
