Thank you Angela Rayner ๐ŸŒน. It's always worth repeating.

'We have biological women, and we have trans women. And theyโ€™re both women: one is a biological woman through sex, and one is a trans woman who has transitioned. Most of the public can get that.โ€

I know how big a privilege being First Minister is, but also the toll it can take. I also know what a wrench it is to step aside, even when sure it is the right thing to do.
Humza has conducted himself with grace, dignity and integrity - both as FM and in the manner of his

I love when stupid questions get batted back with this level of calm vitriol. Nancy Pelosi is a class act. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

I get that David Cameron may need to charter a plane when travelling to multiple countries in one week, but that does not justify spending hundreds of thousands of pounds at taxpayers' expense to hire one of the most luxurious private jets on the market. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/โ€ฆ

The Tories have changed the rules to make the London mayoral election a two horse race. (First past the post.) Which means it's a choice between a dire Tory or Sadiq, about whom they are peddling desperate lies, and cynically stirring up racial hatred. So it's an easy choice.

Tory Ben Houchen is blocking everyone who tweets this article from Private Eye Magazine - as though he imagines covering his eyes will make it vanish.

Why though isn't BBC News (UK), the Mail+ covering it? Do they share the same political stance?

This is an inaccurate headline that will only fuel community concerns.

The decision to cover the memorial was taken by park authorities, not the police.

As the paperโ€™s own article makes clear, it is a precaution Royal Parks have taken for a number of different events.

Could The Labour Party please find its guts and commit to renationalising this utter shitfest? Polls show it would be massively popular with the public. Sod the billionaire press and its fatuous objections. It hates Labour anyway, so why not be hated for giving us what we want?

If only the Tories were as outraged by 500 unnecessary deaths a week in A&E as they are by the National Trust selling vegan scones

We should be thankful for Ian Hislop. Someone who is never afraid of telling it how it is. Unlike most of the UK media
It's extraordinary that someone speaking common sense with such clarity is such a rarity in our media.

Itโ€™s depressing that after years in his portfolio Wes (who I have had a lot of time for) is trotting out facile nonsense like this.

This will not โ€˜save the NHSโ€™: equivalent initiatives have been in place for decades.

As Simon says: more money for primary and a long-term plan.

-Second, the NHS needs substantial investment in its facilities where patients can be seen and treated.
-Third, you should start by making a substantial investment in primary care. It will deliver the biggest bang for your buck in the shortest possible time.

If you think GROSS is the magic bullet you are searching for, you are wrong. There is no magic bullet.
Three things should drive your policy.
-First, the NHS needs substantial investment to grow the workforce, doctors and nurses in particular.

Imagine thinking Glinner is a defender of women and girls, when all he does is tweet homophobic and transphobic abuse at people.
