@BenCrellin Ben ,you give a lot to the community. This seems a really exciting time of change for you ,I hope you find a good therapist to help you be kind to yourself+travel through this change with you.
@cathynewman @BishopNewcastle @Channel4News No @BishopNewcastle you are not out of step with watchers. Thankyou for speaking up. The speech was offensive ,trivialising the distress of victims and the previous postholder's tone was insulting and he clearly has learnt nothing from his resignation. Thank you again.
While everyone's talking about Taylor Swift or god-knows-what, the government's National Wealth Fund has deployed financial guarantees to secure £1bn private lending to improve energy efficiency in social housing

For all these folk having a go at Labour at the moment, where've you been these last FOURTEEN years? The mess in this country is the fault of one party & one party only...the Tories...but 'cos they were VOTED OUT by the country...Labour have a mandate to clean it up.
Patience.
I remember a time when one income could buy a house, support a family. When you knew your GP and ambulances arrived within minutes, we all had dentists, and we had clean beaches to visit. Now we have food banks and warm banks, a housing crisis and people living pay cheque to pay cheque. Millions of children living in poverty and an NHS unable to support people. The right will tell you it’s migrants fault but in reality it’s down to the choices of Tory govts.
Under Labour plans 73% of farms won’t pay any inheritance tax at all, the smallest farms will be protected and those that do pay will have ten years to pay it.
The bleating you hear is very rich people being asked to cough up a bit of money - when they die - maybe.
Running tally of all the kinds of 'working people' we've heard about in the coverage of this week's Budget
- Buy-to-let landlords
- Rural landowners
- Second-home owners
- Parents of private school children
- Anyone with a nanny
@Vindahloo@themagic_tophat@PatrickjaLee Imo right wing press hand wringing in response to budget that started to redress the balance of long term favouring business + rich.
BREAKING: In a terrifying moment, Donald Trump says that his Project 2025 plan to round up migrants will be a bloody operation. This is what fascism looks like. Retweet to make sure every American sees this and knows how dangerous Trump is
