How thoroughly decent of him. He pays tax on Duchy of Lancaster money in effect handed to him by the state (taxpayers) which the taxpayers then hand back plus far more in the form of £100 million in the mega-increased Sovereign Grant. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Britain's biggest state benefits family ... they are taking the piss.
Incredible coincidence that @nigel_Farage watched the England game in the same spot in the same pub, with the same flags up, wearing the same top and standing next to someone wearing an identical top as he did during the Euros in 2024.
Yo reform voters, your entire life is a lie. Migration has plummetted and we're all worse off than ever. Why? because 'small boats' has never been the problem. The rich always have.
Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data.
This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide.
We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.
Gabriel was very smart by headbutting Haaland and not accidentally removing his hair bobble in an aerial duel. By avoiding 'violent conduct' he receives a yellow card rather than a red and three-game suspension. Well done, good process.
There are people like this in every town centre in the UK
You’ve stuck a camera in someone’s face to antagonise and continued recording for clout the issue isn’t Glasgow the issue is you ya fucking clown
If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat while others starved, scientists would study it to understand what the fuck was wrong with it. Scientists would then watch as all the other monkeys took turns beating that one monkey to death with sticks.
Something genuinely different happened in British politics today.
Zack Polanski gave his first major economic speech as Green Party leader and it wasn't the usual vague gestures you get from other party leaders. It was a diagnosis and a plan.
The diagnosis: privatisation, austerity and Brexit haven't just been bad policy choices, they've locked Britain into a structural trap. A "bond market doom loop" where financial markets constrain every government before it's even started.
The plan ("Zackonomics") is built around ending rip-off Britain for the people who actually keep this country running:
→ Freeze energy bills now (£8.4bn, funded by the windfall tax)
→ Cap rents
→ Nationalise water
→ Scrap Right to Buy
→ Forgive student debt
→ Rejoin the Customs Union and eventually the EU
Funded by making wealth pay its share: a wealth tax, equalising capital gains with income tax, and closing the loopholes that let the richest opt out.
Is every detail nailed down? No. But this is what it looks like when a party leader actually tries to match the scale of the problem. Britain's economic settlement is broken. Someone finally said it.
#Zackonomics
We live in Rip Off Britain.
We have to lower people's bills and tax wealth fairly.
This morning I'll be starting to lay out our vision of how to do this.

At some point, senior Premier League execs have to offer a proper explanation in public for their leniency towards Chelsea. They owe an explanation to fans of clubs punished more harshly. They owe an explanation to those clubs who did abide by the rules. They have to offer some explanation as to why PSR breaches are deemed far more serious than acts of "deception and concealment". Yes, these are the offences of a previous regime at Chelsea. But inconsistencies run through the PL's defence and their reputation is damaged. They can’t hide from a controversy of this magnitude.
