Don’t raise money by taking it from people who have it! https://t.co/28HQiY97fi Raise it by cutting benefits for those who don’t!

@OperaSocialist It's not the triple lock that's stifling growth. It's the super rich - avoiding tax, taking their accumulated wealth off shore, not investing in UK manufacturing and generally doing their utmost to prevent trickle down

Thought you’d have a better eye for all things “student”, Brillo?

You can deny it all you like, but it’s a genocide. From your tweet, it looks to me like the mass killing of Palestinians barely troubles you. Why is that?

The Environment Agency is a textbook example of how many QUANGOs view their job as little more than issuing press releases and overseeing managed decline - or just being on a 4/10 autopilot.

At this point the EA clearly needs to be dissolved and started again.

NEW: @PSCupdates has sent Labour MPs a briefing outlining that the party’s record on Palestine is a major factor for progressive voters ditching Labour & they overwhelmingly support tougher policies on Israel

Michelle Mone has yet to pay a penny of the £122m she owes the government for ripping off the NHS. But she has somehow contrived to hang on to the private jet and the superyacht.

Bloody hell. Martin Forde was spot on - there is a hierarchy of racism in Starmer’s Labour Party. Shouldn’t a humane society be treating wounded and sick children - if the means are there to do so - regardless of their background? It is astonishing that you’ve posted this tweet at all.

Andy Burnham advisers back scrapping pension triple lock.

Full state pension, received by 35% of pensioners, is less than 50% of the minimum wage.

2m pensioners live in poverty. 100,000 die in fuel poverty.

Millions can't save enough for future pensions

🚨 BREAKING: Hackers no longer need to impersonate you. AI does it for them. In 3 seconds of audio.

It is called SIM swapping. And in 2026 it has become something different entirely.

Your phone number receives your password reset codes. Your banking OTPs. Your two-factor authentication. Whoever controls your number controls your accounts.

Attackers collect your name, date of birth, and last four digits of your SSN. All available from data breaches for a few dollars on dark web markets.

Then they call your carrier pretending to be you.

AI voice cloning tools replicate your voice from 3 seconds of audio. Your voicemail greeting, a social media video, or a podcast appearance is enough. The carrier hears you. It is not you.

And with eSIM, there is no waiting for a physical card. The number transfers digitally in under 5 minutes.

Your phone shows no service.

The attacker’s device is now you.

They reset your email. Your bank. Your crypto wallet. Your iCloud. Everything tied to that number.

One arrest last year: a 19-year-old Canadian. $13 million in Bitcoin.

How to protect yourself:

Call your carrier and add a SIM lock or port freeze. It is free.

Switch from SMS-based 2FA to an authenticator app or a hardware key.

Your phone number should not be the recovery method for your email or bank. Ever.

EXCLUSIVE:

Andy Burnham is expected to appoint a former Blairite cabinet minister who is one of his oldest political allies as his chief of staff as he seeks to overhaul No 10

James Purnell, who served as pensions minister, culture secretary, and work and pensions secretary in the New Labour governments of Sir Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, is the frontrunner for the role, The Times has been told

He is said to be viewed by Burnham as a “serious figure” who is capable of implementing his radical plans to reform Downing Street and Whitehall

The pair, who entered parliament together in 2001, shared an office as novice Greater Manchester MPs, with Burnham representing Leigh and Purnell holding Stalybridge & Hyde

Burnham frequently joked that he was overlooked for broadcast interviews in favour of Purnell, who was educated in France and Surrey

Purnell is chief executive of Flint Global, a major PR and lobbying firm, a role that may present issues over potential conflicts of interest in government

The BBC says it wants to orientate its News Channel to international rather than British audiences because it can generate revenues internationally. Fair enough. But why should British licence payers pay for it?

@HarrietHarman @perayahmet remember when you abstained on the welfare bill that overwhelmingly affected working women Harriet

probably something a little more important than stupid media stories

This will go down like a sh*t sandwich outside London.

Badenoch is saying government, voters outside the M25 hear ‘London’.

People in the north-west pay tax too, believe it or not! And our model privileged the south east for a century - and London for longer.

The Guardian journalist typed the words 'reassure ...the fossil fuel industry' while UK is boiling with extreme weather warnings because of the climate crisis inflicted by the fossil fuel industry
