Labour MP Steve Reed says the asylum housing debate in places like Piddington has been stirred up by right-wing parties and led to "racial hatred" and Reform party rhetoric about asylum seekers is poisonous. Is he right and it's about bloody time someone from Labour said this

Hundreds of British Jews have accused the Board of Deputies of British Jews of “genocide denial” for shielding Israel from accountability and silencing criticism within its own ranks. trib.al/PgU7KEi

Israel just bombed in front of Al-Shifa Hospital during a ceasefire They are literally testing the world to see how much they can get away with. And because of Western backing, the answer is: everything

Bernie Sanders tells Jon Stewart his thoughts on Chuck Schumer for Senate Majority Leader:

“When you talk about status quo politics, that’s what you’re talking about in terms of Chuck. Do I think we need new leadership which is gonna move the Democratic Party in a much more vigorous way to protect the needs of working families? Yes, I do, absolutely. People are sick and tired of the status quo. We cannot have leadership in the Democratic Party who are gonna do the same old same old”

I'm sorry but Kemi Badenoch shouldn't be looking so smug here. Using a case like Russell Brand's to score political points against Labour isn't cool. She had a platform at PMQs to talk about something far more important: the abuse of power, the hierarchy that allows powerful men to exploit young women, and the culture that enables it. What is the media industry doing to prevent this? What more can broadcasters, employers and those in positions of authority do to protect women.

Tories plan £36bn social security cut. It would cut benefits for old, sick, disabled and reintroduce the two-child benefit cap. Silence on corporate welfare, tax perks of the rich, low wages, profiteering, £700bn tax not collected in the last 20 years independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

If by “lawful military operations” you mean bombing an Iranian school and killing 165 kids, or blowing up “drug boats” and then killing the survivors clinging to the wreckage, then your understanding of international law is apparently as dead as the people you left in the water.
Hegseth: "In the 250 years of our American republic, no Secretary of War or Secretary of Defense has ever been impeached for carrying out lawful military operations" 🤔

FUCK TRUMP. WHAT THE FUCK ARE JOURNALISTS SUPPOSED TO TOLERATE NOW?! I think it’s time to respond with REAL ACTION. Trump is spitting in the face of democracy and journalism, and there needs to be a response. HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED AT THE WHITE HOUSE ON NOVEMBER 9, 2026. A journalist from MS NOW questioned Donald Trump about Vladimir Putin repeatedly ignoring his demands for a ceasefire and a direct meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. FROM THE OFFICIAL PRESS CONFERENCE TRANSCRIPT: JOURNALIST: “Vladimir Putin, you have given Vladimir Putin multiple deadlines over the last 22 months to enter into a cease fire, but also to meet directly with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He has repeatedly ignored your demands…” TRUMP: “Has he been fighting us in the war?” Then Trump demanded to know which network the journalist represented. JOURNALIST: “With MS Now.” TRUMP: “I don’t want to take your question.” He then attacked the network’s ratings, called it fake, and moved on to another journalist. And THIS is what I want to say. EVERY SINGLE JOURNALIST IN THAT ROOM SHOULD HAVE STOOD UP AND WALKED OUT. Just stood up. And walked the fuck out. No arguments. No begging for another question. No sitting there pretending this is normal. Trump spits in the face of journalists, and journalists should be able to respond by refusing to sit there and accept that disrespect. WHY THE FUCK SHOULD YOU LISTEN TO SOMEONE WHO TREATS YOU LIKE SHIT?! Why should you remain in the same room with someone who openly humiliates your profession? And the most outrageous part? THE QUESTION WAS ABOUT PUTIN AND UKRAINE. About a Russian dictator who keeps ignoring Trump’s demands while Ukrainians continue to be killed. Instead of answering, the President of the United States attacks the journalist asking the question. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?! Let him stand there without an audience. Let him get pissed off because nobody wants to listen to his insults anymore. A president is supposed to answer questions, not demand obedience from the press. PRESS FREEDOM DOES NOT MEAN JOURNALISTS MUST QUIETLY ACCEPT HUMILIATION. And democratic accountability cannot exist when legitimate questions are dismissed with personal insults. FUCK TRUMP.

The Kremlin-backed Trump regime has allied the United States with enemy Russia. This is treason. Democrats in Congress must break this Axis of Evil, forge a powerful alliance with defender Ukraine, and recommit to NATO – the bedrock of U.S. national security.

Correct. Even parents who don’t have children with special needs themselves will be sympathetic towards children who do.
I’m really not sure who they are trying to appeal to, but this constant kicking down, it’s not something which inspires support.

I loathe Whateley with a passion. She's claiming more benefits than most, whilst being a millionaire.
Jon Kay Disabled kids lose benefits, but there’s no mention of the pensions is that because pensioners vote? Helen Whately We’ve got a real problem with fake disabled kids in this country

Yes, Labour is creating a winning coalition for the next General Election while the Tories and Reform are scrapping over which party can be the most vile. It’s obvious which side is going to win that battle.
Sherelle is right. Burnham is strengthening Labour by winning back Greens & 24 Labour voters. The Right remains badly divided. It is a reverse of the 1980s.

Kemi Badenoch hasn’t got a clue. With millions of parents desperate to get more help for their children with disabilities she’s planning to cut their support even further. No wonder the Tories are struggling in the polls.

The cruelty Badenoch and Whately want to inflict on our vulnerable children must be stopped they haven't learned anything from the suffering the Tories put this country through for the 14 years they were in power, we must never allow it to happen again!
