This is shocking. New @jrf-uk.bsky.social report has found ‘very deep poverty’ in Britain has hit its worst level in 30 years.

Poverty is deepening.
🔎 Our #UKPoverty2026 report was launched this morning.
People in very deep poverty now make up the biggest group of people in poverty, at 6.8 million people.
This is unacceptable for the fifth richest country in the world, and it has consequences.

As if BBC News did not have enough problems in its dealings with Trump as it attempts to have the president’s defamation lawsuit thrown out, now comes a fresh challenge in the form of the corporation’s official “US news partner” suddenly taking a sharp turn in the administration’s direction.

The overall benefit cap must go.
It is a cruel measure that keeps hundreds of thousands in deep poverty.
Instead of persisting with austerity policies such as ripping support away from Disabled people, this Labour Govt must invest in social security that truly eliminates poverty. Scrap the cap.

Far more likely is Xi just purged all his sensible commanders who kept insisting that invading Taiwan is a bad idea.
Remember that Stalin purged a bunch of Generals in 1937 and promptly invaded Finland. Finland took on the Red Army and came out the Strategic Victor.

What's the outcome that terrifies Labour most in the Gorton by-election?
Reform winning?
Nope. It's the Greens they're most worried about.
They'd prefer Reform to win, rather than the Greens.

Went camping in 2014. Didn't shit for 4 days. Driving home, we stopped at a tearoom run by a little old lady. My bowels relaxed and I filled that poor woman's toilet to the brim. Leaving she wished us well and said how she was exhausted after a busy day. Sorry little old lady.

My dad's fess. In the 80s he and my uncle left a bar in Edinburgh after a Christmas night out. He noticed a double decker bus parked up outside a social club and the driver had gone to collect his party. He took the bus home and left it on a residential street near the house.

The Trump administration's embrace of AI to write fecal regulations makes sense. Movement conservatives have always dismissed federal rules as capricious abuse. That slop is just as good as meticulous and intentional fulfills a promise made 100 years ago to undo federal regulatory power.
The @usdot.bsky.social, which oversees the safety of airplanes, cars and pipelines, plans to use Google Gemini to draft new regulations. “We don’t need the perfect rule,” said DOT’s top lawyer. “We want good enough.”
