This sounds nice, but it's a great way to undermine the welfare state.

The strongest welfare states in the world (the Nordics) tax everyone, including nurses. And they give everyone universal healthcare, childcare, pensions, education in return.

When the middle class has skin in the game, they defend the system. When welfare is 'just for the poor', it becomes a poor program: stigmatized, underfunded, easy to gut.

That's why billionaires keep pushing this idea. The real scandal isn't that this nurse pays $12k.

It's that Jeff Bezos pays $0.

Jake Berry: “What I think is extraordinary about this by-election, is you have ‘Robert Jenkins’, a brilliant candidate for Reform…”

Victoria Derbyshire: “That’s not his name by the way”

Jake Berry: “Sorry?”

Victoria Derbyshire: “It’s Robert Kenyon”

The Champions League final will not be made free-to-air in the United Kingdom for the first in over 30 years.

TNT Sports, which is owned by Warner Bros Discovery, has the exclusive UK rights to screen the final between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal in Budapest on May 30, but they will place the fixture behind a paywall.

The cheapest option for fans wanting to watch the trio of European finals will be to sign up to HBO Max’s most basic subscription, costing £4.99 a month.

You’ll Never Walk Alone has been sung at funerals, memorials, moments of tragedy and moments of unity across the world.

It’s a song about collective solidarity.

So it’s karma that the worst ever version of YNWA took place at the worst ever place it has ever been sung.

The whole premise of Yaxley Lennon’s march is opposed to the very meaning of YNWA.

Let’s never have a repeat, my soul cannot take it and nor can my ears.

400 neonazis han incendiado un centro para solicitantes de asilo en Países Bajos con 15 refugiados. Bloquearon la llegada de bomberos para intentar que se quemaran dentro. Terrorismo ultraderechista.

My wife was targeted outside our daughter’s nursery today (handing out leaflets) & basically called a paedophile by a mum. A reform voter.

She’s a Labour councillor & 5 months pregnant!

This stuff is a threat to a functioning, well-governed society. It’s okay to just…disagree.

Sobering data from Challenger on the US labor market:
Announced job cuts in January more than doubled year-over-year, hitting their highest level since the 2009 Great Recession.
Most notably, these layoffs are occurring while GDP continues to grow at approximately 4%, accelerating the decoupling of employment from economic growth—a phenomenon that, if it persists, has profound economic, political, and social implications.

The Islamic regime has sentenced #IliaBenRashid to death just because he was protesting.

Ilia has no parents to fight for him.

We are all his family and we will shout his name to save him from execution!

Ashkan Talebi just called his family to say his execution order was issued.
It was a goodbye call.

He’s 22. He has no father. He’s the sole provider for his family.

Be his voice. Don’t let them kill him in silence.

Epstein confirms Trump knew about his activities [crimes] and hints at Trump’s Russian money laundering: "[REDACTED] worked at Mara Lago. Trump knew of it, and came to my house many times during that period. The testimony of houseman John allessi confirmed it." #OpDeathEaters

In any normal administration, this would be a huge scandal for the White House and the president and First Lady. But not in this administration. It’s probably not in the top 10 even for this weekend.
