A national disgrace in the making
EXC - MPs and peers who backed the assisted dying bill now believe it is “near impossible” for it to pass the House of Lords in time because of procedural obstacles used by opponents.
“It is our system at its absolute most dysfunctional,” one MP said.

Yesterday in Horsley, Derbyshire, Reform UK were beaten in a local by-election.
That didn’t happen by accident. Local people organised, spoke to voters, and pushed back.
It shows that when Reform are challenged locally, they can be stopped.

Look at him! Really look and don’t you dare look away either!
That is a four-year-old. He’s wearing a backpack big enough for a juice box and lunch and wearing a winter hat pulled down by someone who loves him.
And the United States government decided this child was an acceptable target!!!! 1/

When one party holds most of the seats on less than half the votes, the supposed “majority” is fragile from the start. The real fights aren’t across the floor of the Commons, but inside the ruling party itself. It may look stable on paper, but inside it’s a house divided.

Something tells me he wouldn’t be impressed.
One can’t help but wonder what Thomas Paine – the American Founding Father who fought for liberty, democracy, and the separation of church and state – would make of today’s United States, with authoritarianism on the rise and Christian nationalism increasingly assertive.
