Wonderful - The demonisation refugees get does not reflect reality. People who flee their home nations just want a better life and they are willing to work very hard in return

“Water company plans £89m shareholder payout despite sewage conviction.” And that boys & girls is how it works We can spend £91.6m fixing the sewage works or dump that sh*t into the nearest river, pay a £2.6m fine and give the rest to our shareholders. telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

Well that was pretty wonderful all round. Tories out. Labour in. And I must admit a tear came into my eye seeing Carol Linforth give Keir a hug in Downing Street. She was there in 1997 and she is there is see it all over again. Beating heart of a Party that lost its way and has

The appalling concept of reasonable physical punishment of children is derived from an 1860 case when a headteacher beat to death a child with learning difficulties. Equal protection for children is long overdue. Children's Commissioner for England is 100% right. theguardian.com/news/2024/oct/…
