An average uplift of 2.7% for Council budgets will still require Council Tax hikes near 20% or thousands of job cuts to meet the shortfall.

This would be disastrous for Wales.

The American Jewish community is in open crisis over its support for Israel after two years of genocide in Gaza. A key issue in this crisis is a topic once considered too taboo to criticize: the Israel lobby.

Jury trials in England & Wales for crimes that carry a likely sentence of less than 3 years will be scrapped.

Bad move

Money may be saved but justice and trust in the system will be the biggest casualty.

Poor and minorities at the mercy of toff judges.

Have you ever wondered why
when the rapist, sex abuser, child molester, domestic violence perpetrator is white
and the hero stopping them isn't
there's zero coverage by

Yesterday, Fox News claimed that Venezuela is "giving uranium to Hamas..." as justification for invasion.

The clip (at the end of the linked article) starts out claiming Panamanians welcomed the illegal US invasion in 1989 (the uranium lies start at 1.50).

NHS to pay 25% more for US drugs

That's an extra £3 billion a year

Why?

Because Brexit, taking us outside the EU, makes the UK weaker than if we were inside the the EU

The UK is spending public money on developing new nuclear warheads for Trident missiles. How much has the 'Astraea' warhead design already cost?

The government refuses to say, citing "national security".

Elsewhere, 18-year-old Muhammad Raslan Mahmoud Asmar was shot during a raid on his village northwest of Ramallah. Witnesses say the teen was left to bleed out as Israeli forces barred Red Crescent medics from approaching. The soldiers then seized his lifeless body.

As US troops encircle Venezuela, it's worth recalling that over $2bn of Venezuelan gold remains frozen in the Bank of England.

The gold was frozen in support of the US government's efforts to launch a coup against Nicolás Maduro👇

Why is Venezuela’s gold still frozen in the Bank of England?
Four years ago, the UK government recognised Juan Guaidó as Venezuela’s president. He’s now gone, but the Bank of England is still holding some of the country’s key assets.
