Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train.

But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK.

Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.

Dear the BBC Politics.

I think I can safely speak for approx 89.43% of the UK population when I tell you that Zia Yusuf is not wanted on our TV screens. Again.

He's an unelected party donor using up a seat that could be offered to a credible alternative.

Gove faced with who he is: This would be entirely funny if his actions hadn’t been responsible for a nation’s economic and geopolitical ruin. Hislop catalogues Gove’s every crime from Brexit to the VIP PPI scandal and exposes the man’s moral bankruptcy.

Dementia is a devastatingly cruel disease for sufferers and their families.

Thinking of the legendary #JonSnow today, his wife, children and the thousands of people who know exactly what they’re going through after his recent diagnosis.

My boy took part in a primary school swimming gala today.

All the private schools won. They have their own swimming pools, no doubt swimming coaches too.

If there ever was an example of the privilege gap and an indicator of inequity affecting outcomes in education, there it is.

Despite the US' best efforts, the container that left Belfast arrived at the port of Mariel, Cuba late last night. 🇨🇺✊️

Nicola Fisher successfully moved the final motion of #EISAGM26. The motion recognised the increase in far-right narratives and asked for further advice for members in countering them.

Thankyou JD Vance, we have so much to learn from America.

Well done @RoyalMail - took a mere 19 years to deliver this magazine. Inconvenience? Well the kids have now left home ….

The “bad moment” was confirming that Donald Trump wasn’t releasing the Epstein files because he’s in the Epstein files.

If he was willing to say “Up the RA” for £87, what do you think he’d be willing to do for £5 million?

While ordinary people struggle every day to pay the rent or mortgage - Andrew was not only living in a palace for almost nothing, he was subletting them for cash.

The greed of the wealthy elites in this country is breathtaking.

The letter notes that the legislation must pass through all the stages in @niassembly from 1st Reading to Royal Assent before elections due in May 2027. If this legislative process is not initiated before the summer recess in weeks, chances of Bill becoming law are extremely slim

I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.
