If TIME is wavering over who to name Person of the Year, may I suggest Gisele Pelicot? Her bravery and resolve are exemplary, and every last one of her rapists deserves to rot in prison until death. I hope she can find some semblance of peace, however small, when the trial ends.

In the last few years, HMRC charged 420,000 people with £100 late filing penalties when they earned too little to pay tax. People earning under £6k received twice as many penalties as people earning more than £83k. Rachel Reeves should reform the penalties system.

Reading the newly disclosed documents from the family court cases involving Sara Sharif - my assessment is that her death was an inevitable consequence of a family justice system that simply refuses to recognise, let alone acknowledge, the true risks posed by domestic abusers.

This is the best Down syndrome awareness video I have ever seen Amazing 👏👏👏

I've signed an executive order...

The Trump Gaza video isn’t just disgraceful—it’s one of the most vile, shameful, and repulsive public statements ever made by a U.S. president. It’s not just a moral failure—it’s a deliberate, calculated display of cruelty. A moment that will be remembered as a historic low in

Said it before but I'll say again... Removing my disability benefits wouldn't change my (in)ability to work. It would just take away any potential quality of life I might be able to find. It would essentially end my life.

Chinese memes on American re-industrialization rolling in. lol the music. 😂

Gen Z grief ... My adult child just lost her very good friend. Their daily snapchat thing was at almost 2000 and is now fading. They will no longer play their weekly Monopoly Go best friend thing. The daily tiktok sharing has stopped. ... just things I never thought about before

As a genealogist, for those asking who Bella May Culley is, I can tell you that she is the GGranddaughter of former Stockton MP Frank Cook.

Council Tax accounts for 30% of my bills. That's not right is it I work full time, receive no benefits (apart from a 25% single occupancy discount) and live frugally. Why do we pay so much more than other parts of the country Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council Matt Vickers MP
