WIN 🚨 | Trade unions have campaigned to tax banks to bring down energy bills - and today the government have done it. More still needs to be done to tax wealth fairly, but today's announcement is a great start.

Badenoch would let the UK lose sovereign steelmaking capacity. Im genuinely shocked, just a poor man's Tatcher impersonation.

Badenoch retains her inflexible delivery style, unable to react to what was actually announced. Makes the delivery flat in the house. Entirely based on pitching for online reels afterwards. Not effective opposition at all.

Sounds mad but, at this point I actually hope its corrupt news directors. Because this level of incompetence is in fact more worrying from the national broadcaster.

The passivity with which we react to this shit, is a reason why the Russians are stepping up their sabotage, disruption and disinformation campaigns.

Clickbait title, let's see how many pass the 'read it before post' challenge. “for the vast majority of young people with autism, ADHD, anxiety or depression, the starting point has to be what could you do, what would you like to do, and how can the state help them do it.”

This wont be a problem here though. So we shouldn't look at the extreme far right content constantly being pushed on Facebook and Instagram into people's feeds. This is an isolated incident in a non EU nation so we can carry on as is.

Think this has an important lesson for everyone about how unity of action against Trump can actually achieve changes. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I have never seen coverage of a live trial, one involving allegations of multiple sex attacks on multiple women, framed in a more distasteful way. It's not 'Fame under fire' it's a rape trial. And it involves actual women. And this from the *checks notes* BBC

Underrated aspects of the Labour campaign in HsP: 1)The number of completely new volunteers we had out across the campaign. 2) The resonance on the door of the local messaging. Hard to overstate how much the past couple of months has reinvigorateed the party.

FWIW I think the window where the Polanski leadership reacted to this scandal, with anything other than doubling down, has closed. The man is incredibly calculating when it comes to his presentation. The moral vacuum is by design.

Dangerous foreshadowing of what a Reform government would act like. Straight out of the Trump playbook.

Memory could be wrong but isnt this the conference pitch in House of Cards?

Not to be that guy, but literally they have online and proxy votes from delegates across the entire party and country. This is a representative view. A literal majority view from a majority of delegates.

Ill be honest the main reason I didnt post about the Greens and the Zionism is racism motion, is I didn't think it would pass a conference vote. Grim signal to the entire country of where their leadership is at right now.

Lol www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm astonished by the margins, but not by the support: People are civic minded and practical. It turns out if you explain your reasoning for something, and are trusted to deliver that something, they are willing to support you.

The best thing about the national commission and pledge to change the voting system is conference can now debate interesting stuff that we might disagree on 😅

There's nothing to stop all parties agreeing to the plans between now and the election, making it becoming a non contested promise in all party's manifestos. Irl it will probably produce a plan all parties agree on (Except Reform, jury out on Tories) with disagreements in how to fund it.

I do find this country mad. Anyone can see that social care is in a state of devastating crisis in this country and that it is the key source of the NHS crisis as well. There is no feasible way to solve it without everyone contributing. Burnham is honest about that and is already getting pelters.

It’s wild that we have an organisation tasked with saving lives and a movement whose members try to commit murder, and large sections of the press treat the question of which one is good and which one is bad as, at best, debatable.

Today, the government has announced it is bringing in statutory bereavement leave for pre-24 week pregnancy loss from next April. This will make a huge difference to women and their partners who experience the pain of losing a pregnancy - and finally recognise it as the bereavement that it is.

Galloway's a vile man. This is just another lesson in how you can never appease the cranks. Polanski's mealy mouthed statment only shows how unable he is to confront these people in his own Party.

Well said Rishi Sunak. Democratic politics must continue to be a contest of ideas, not a fight about skin colour defining your identity. There is much on which Tory & Labour politicians disagree - on this we must unite. He's right about the power of cricket too 🏏 www.thetimes.com/article/e89d...

Abominable intelligence or thinking machines would be my pitch.

The only possible explanation for getting upset by "selective schools are less white now" is racism.

I've seen some Greens trying to claim Burnham wouldnt be PM without the Green party. Ignoring the mental gymnastics for a moment; I dont understand why people who clearly want to influence Labour would not be in the party.

Anthropic playing a blinder with this slowdown stuff. Really makes me dismiss the bubble concerns and assures everyone that the money will come, just slower.
