This is the difference this Labour government is making.
Kids starting the day full and ready to learn, no matter their background.
An achievement all Labour MPs can be proud of- and opposed by the Conservatives and Reform.
Over the last 36 hours, we have witnessed the very soul of Nigel Farage — his essence.
It has been over a month since he went into hiding, since serious questions began to be raised over his undeclared £5M donation.
A month since he appeared in front of TV cameras or underwent any questioning at all.
At 8am yesterday morning, Farage released a video, from a field somewhere, calling for rage. Calling for an end to the mythical two-tier policing.
Make no mistake, those were very carefully chosen words — he understood what he was unleashing, and his wish was granted last night in Southampton.
On Tuesday, the Home Secretary made a statement to the House regarding the murder of Henry Nowack. There was, as always, an opportunity to question Shabana Mahmood — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
No, of course not.
Today, Farage was granted a question at PMQs — the showpiece spectacle of the political week in which the country's news and politics fanatics tune in to watch — was Nigel Farage in attendance?
Yes, of course he was.
He had somehow found his way into work after missing 77 separate votes in Parliament because … he would, at least for three minutes, be the centre of the country's political attention.
His question was about the murder of Henry Nowack and the violence that erupted [on his command] last night, but he would not condemn it or call for calm.
Instead, he 'suggested' that this rioting might escalate.
This afternoon, he has performatively written to the BBC because someone on Newsnight dared to accuse him of inciting the violence — playing his perpetual victim card. Again.
And there we see the soul of Nigel Farage — a craven, desperate for attention, evil, petty and pointless man.
END RANT.
A humiliating day for Putin, as things at the St Petersburg Economic Forum start off with a bang.
Despite Putin flying in all the American influencers, Ukraine just blew things up.
Nazi salutes, scrapping with each other, throwing rocks at police and at local residents’ houses and cars
Here’s Nigel Farage’s wet dream being played out in real time
The scum of it
Tommy Robinson didn’t even respect Henry Nowak’s minute’s silence ffs
Kyiv emphasized that the condition for ending the war is the return by Russia of Crimea, the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions. These territories were illegally occupied by Moscow in 2014/2022. This is the land of the Ukrainian state according to international law, the UN Charter. EU countries and the NATO area have based their own system of values and policies on law. If Russia does not accept this order, it should lose the status of a civilized state and will be described as a socio-political formation of barbarians, of Bolshevism. This is a warning and a request to the residents of Moscow that the limit has been exceeded; another attack on the capital of Ukraine will provoke counterattacks, the destruction of Moscow districts, buildings will collapse—there will be 100,000 casualties, missiles will fly and hit everything. There is no acceptance for the primitive socio-political system of the Kremlin.
La humillación que Putin quiso evitar en Moscú, le llega hoy en su ciudad natal, San Peterburgo ante la presencia de delegaciones de 76 países y territorios que acuden a su Foro Económico Internacional. La terminal petrolera de la ciudad arde alcanzada por drones ucranianos
“I said it’s good of Nigel Farage to speak out about the murder of Henry Nowak. What did I say Roy?”
“You said he’s a cynical piece of shit who’s exploiting a tragedy to spread hatred and division”
In hiding for over a fortnight to swerve any scrutiny over his multitude of illicit donations but finally breaks cover to shit all over the express wishes of Henry Nowak’s family
You can set your watch by Farage’s pisswizardry
A stain on U.K. politics
This morning the Govt won a court case meaning the UK won’t have to pay over £100M to Rwanda to clean up the mess left by the Tories.
But sod discussing that, let’s just have yet another day of #PoliticsLive speculating on the Labour leadership.

🕯️ 471 Days Underground Near Bakhmut: A Ukrainian Sergeant Held His Position Beneath an Asphalt Road
His name is Serhii Tyshchenko.
A Ukrainian sergeant.
46 years old.
Call sign: Wind.
He spent 471 days in an underground bunker near Bakhmut — not in a concrete shelter or a fortified command post, but in a cramped dugout beneath an asphalt road.
There was little air.
Little water.
Little food.
Little sleep.
But there was never a shortage of the enemy.
Serhii recalls that the bodies of Russian soldiers accumulated near the entrance.
“We climbed over them and covered them with dirt to reduce the smell,” he says. “But it never really went away.”
This was not a movie.
This was Bakhmut.
This was the reality in which Ukrainian soldiers held their ground with their bodies, nerves, lungs, and determination.
Serhii arrived at the position while Joe Biden was still President of the United States.
When he finally emerged 471 days later, a new administration was in power, and debates about territorial concessions were taking place far from the battlefield.
For some, territory is a line on a map.
For him, it was the place where friends died.
Where dirt fell from the ceiling.
Where every trip outside could be the last.
Where clean air became a luxury.
“Everything was underground. Everything was dug out,” he recalls.
The bunker began with a trench and continued beneath the road, hidden by logs, dirt, and sand.
In the summer of 2023, Serhii and another soldier went to collect rations from a nearby bunker when a drone spotted them.
The hunt began.
They dove into a ditch and hid in tall grass. His comrade was convinced they were finished.
Serhii told him to run.
They reached the bunker.
They survived.
But worse was still to come.
During their first week there, a Russian assault group attacked the position.
One attacker ambushed Ukrainian soldiers at the narrow entrance. Three of Serhii’s comrades were killed.
Serhii charged the attacker unarmed.
He should have died.
But the attacker’s rifle jammed.
Another Ukrainian soldier eliminated the threat moments later.
Serhii survived by seconds.
After that, no replacements arrived.
“At first there were five of us left. Then four,” he recalls.
“That’s when I realized we would be here for a long time.”
Leaving was nearly impossible.
Bringing in fresh troops was nearly impossible.
Russian drones attacked day and night. An observation opening became a target for FPV drones and had to be sealed.
After that, there was even less air inside.
Breathing became difficult.
His chest constantly felt tight.
The bunker collapsed more than once. Hunger and thirst became constant companions.
Still, Serhii endured.
471 days.
471 mornings without seeing a normal sky.
471 nights underground.
471 days knowing the next strike could be the last.
471 days defending a position that some people might casually describe as “disputed territory.”
But that land is not an abstraction.
It smells of sweat, gunpowder, blood, damp earth, and death.
It is held by people like Serhii Tyshchenko.
People who do not make grand speeches.
People who do not ask for sympathy.
People who simply remain where most others could not last a day.
When someone says Ukraine should “give up territory,” it is worth remembering people like him.
People who never sat in a bunker beneath Bakhmut cannot fully understand what that ground cost.
Serhii Tyshchenko is one of the people who proves that Ukraine stands not because it is easy.
It stands because there are people willing to hold the line even when it seems impossible.
Honor to the Ukrainian warrior.
Honor to all who hold the front.
And eternal memory to those who never returned home. 🇺🇦
Imagine spending 18 months preparing one operation.
Then imagine watching dozens of Russian strategic aircraft burn because it worked.
One year of absolutely meticulous planning, intelligence work, logistics, and operational security led to this moment.
Operation Spiderweb will be studied for years.
FARAGE BUNKS OFF
