The important thing is that we can rebuild something fully new and better, which is why facing the severity of this moment can be a source of hope rather than paralysis.

Elon Musk is stoking far-right extremism on our streets.

The Prime Minister should order a security assessment of the threat Musk poses to our democracy.

$20 BILLION of your taxpayer dollars goes to prop up the President’s MAGA allies overseas.

Meanwhile, Americans can’t afford rent, food, or health care.

Soybean farmer: I want trade, not aid. Bailing out Argentina doesn't help my market. I buy parts and I buy groceries and I'm paying the tariffs exactly like everybody else is. Sending me that money doesn't fix my problem. All they do is throw money at problems instead of actually try to fix one

"Videos show Hamas fighters dragging men into a public square in broad daylight, forcing them to kneel and executing them in front of a crowd of onlookers."

Said one independent analyst: “'Hamas is re-establishing control. Hamas will be even more aggressive now."

Fox News stopped talking about Herschel Walker after he lost his bid for a U.S. Senate seat. Walker was accused of paying for two abortions, terrorizing his son, ex-wife, and other women. He also had children he did not disclose to the public and had exaggerated his resume.

Labour really hasn't broken every single promise it has ever made.

It's only broken one from its 2024 manifesto, on levels of investment. It's achieved 18, 19 are on track and 22 are in progress. Out of 85.

None of that detail is in the announcement and required some digging.

I'm happy to be corrected by anyone if I've got it wrong but in fact from what I've read it's not that unreasonable... and isn't that different to what already existed.

Why this government wants to make enemies is another issue
