Why did the BBC describe rioters in Southampton last night as ‘protestors’. They weren’t protestors, they were rioters. Where has the BBC's objectivity gone? Why can't they tell the truth?
While we’re talking about document releases… Back in 2025, Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle, was allowed to block emails he sent to Israeli politicians from being published. This process created a clear conflict of interest. No wonder public trust in our political system is on the wane.
Why do broadcasters keep claiming there is still a ceasefire in the Middle East? There isn’t. Iran says there is not. Why won’t they believe them when the evidence is there to see?
I'll tell you what's 'unsustainable', and it's not state pensions, NHS funding or disability benefits. It's a society in which the majority works longer hours for lower wages so the 1% becomes richer still.
Let’s be crystal clear about it what is happening tonight in Southampton.
Far right thugs are doing Nazi salutes and throwing bricks at police.
It’s not a ‘revolution’ it’s criminality and thuggery.
This is what people should be talking about when they talk about two-tier policing.
It isn't about race. It isn't about immigration. It's about whether serious threats and incitement to violence are treated consistently, regardless of who the victim is.
This post advocated dragging a woman from her home and cutting her throat.
Let that sink in.
People in the UK have been investigated, prosecuted, and convicted for threatening communications online. So why does this, and repeated similar threats, appear to be treated differently?
Would the response be the same if the target were a journalist, an MP, or an activist from a different political background?
Is the lack of action because the victim is a left-wing female activist? I don't know. But when threats of this nature appear to attract little attention, it's a fair question to ask.
The law should apply equally to everyone and protect everyone equally, regardless of gender, race, occupation, or political beliefs.
Two tier justice is every woman I know watching her rapist or domestic abuser face zero jail time.
Two tier justice is a 1% rape conviction stat.
Two tier policing is 2 in 5 men involved in the 2024 unrest being reported for domestic abuse but free to commit further violence.
Three quarters of UK workers not on track for moderate pension income.
Result of years of austerity, low wages, high cost of living.
Maximum state pension is less than 50% of minimum wage. Neoliberals want to end the triple-lock.
Poverty awaits millions

There is a Race issue in Policing & it ain’t the one being protested over
The permanent secretary of the Department of Health and her husband have links with a private equity company which owns a range of outsourced NHS services providers including care for kids, ADHD diagnosis, cataract surgery. Do the rules allow this? Were Ministers told?
@iainmacwhirter The biggest financial scandal in Holyrood history wasn’t any embezzlement of party funds it was the £1.5bn of Scotland’s money sent back to Westminster by Jack McConnell to secure his peerage

'The UK must stand on the side of international law and justice' - @EllieChowns calls for decisive action in response to Israel's escalating attacks on Lebanon.
Head to our website to read the full statement now.
In the last year, the cost of living has gone up £55 a week across the UK and £96 a week in London. Pensions have gone up by £11 a week. Tell me again about the 'too generous' triple lock.
Israel's escalating military campaign in southern Lebanon has already killed thousands of people and forced more than a million from their homes.
This utter disregard for civilian lives is inexcusable. We saw these patterns in Gaza - it cannot happen again in Lebanon.
