Well done to Edinburgh and Belfast Police for refusing to arrest people holding up Palestine Action posters over the weekend and letting the protestors carry on peacefully. Hopefully their empathic actions will spread to other police forces.

The average EU govt spending on social welfare is 19.2% of GDP, ranging from 8.1% to 25.7%. The UK spends 10.6% yet govts constantly cut benefits and right wing media says welfare is unaffordable. Taxing the UK rich is off the political agenda. ec.europa.eu/eurostat/stati…

🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛳️ #WATCH — A caddie was seen dropping a ball for President Donald Trump during his Scotland golf trip. Did he make par?

Incoherent gibberish from #Trump in #Scotland

Hedge fund chief says UK stuck in ‘debt doom loop’. Silence on corporate debt, tax dodges; impact of PFI, privatisations. Post-war UK built with debt of 270% of GDP; rich taxed more, led to boom, debt down to 22%. We need to be saved from neoliberalism theguardian.com/business/2025/…

A group of leading economists is urging Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves to introduce a wealth tax to tackle extreme inequality. The Green Party has consistently called for a fairer tax system. Time for Labour to make some different political choices and tax the super-rich fairly

Francesca Albanese slams western media: ‘Amplified the message of the IDF 🇮🇱’ ‘Dehumanised Palestinians 🇵🇸’ ‘Complicit in genocide in Gaza 🇵🇸’ ‘The time is now to investigate’ Francesca is spot on again. The BBC 🇬🇧 should be the first in line to be held to account.

So she is admitting that you can actually identify as something other than what you were assigned at birth?

You’d barely be able to sea health secretary Wes Streeting for all the private health donor stickers plastering him. A conflict of interest big enough to see from space. What the f**k is Starmer and Labout playing at? Our NHS is THE most precious thing we have, FFS.

Annahstasia in tonight's BBC Proms beat the BBC censors and inserted the words "everyone knows about Palestine" in the Nina Simone song 'Mississippi Goddam'. Will she get the Bob Vylan and Kneecap MSM treatment.

Why is being a landlord not regarded a conflict of interest for a housing minister?
