The Digwa family ask for privacy so they can ‘come to terms with what lies ahead’. F*** off. They didn’t call an ambulance, they lied to police, they played the race card, they also raised a monster. They get to visit their son in prison, the Nowaks will never see their son again
The UK just “smashed” its May temperature record… but here’s the part the Met Office conveniently leaves out:
The PREVIOUS record was set in 1922.
That’s 104 years ago.
Long before SUVs, private jets, or modern CO₂ emissions. Heathrow Airport didn’t even exist yet. The area was literally farmland and small villages.
So if a 1922 heatwave could produce nearly identical temperatures in a world with ~130 ppm less CO₂, maybe, just maybe, natural variability plays a much bigger role than the panic merchants admit.
Oh this is delicious, resident Cabinet Office Minister and halfwit, Darren Jones loses his shit at Trevor Phillips when asked how the fuck is a £1.64 saving on theme park tickets for a family of 4, costing £200-£250 a good thing.
After the second fossil fuel crisis in five years, it's clear that clean power is the only route to energy security.
The Energy Independence Bill is the next step in our mission: tackling the affordability crisis, creating thousands of jobs and delivering energy security.
Today I’m pleased to appoint @GordonBrown as my Special Envoy on Global Finance and Cooperation.
As Britain’s longest-serving Chancellor, Gordon is well placed to work with our international allies to build a stronger Britain and boost our country’s security and resilience.
The election results in England, Wales and Scotland are a disaster for the Labour Party, and I send commiserations to the many fantastic Labour representatives who have lost their seats. Frankly, if we don’t get our act together, Labour will face total destruction.
The writing was on the wall after Gorton and Denton, after Runcorn and Helsby, and after last year’s local elections. People are desperate for a government that, after a decade of Tory austerity, will reverse the decline in living standards and tackle widening inequality. Today, voters are once again showing us that we are failing to do this at the pace and scale that the country needs.
Instead of listening, the leadership doubled down on Reform-lite immigration policies, cut support for the most vulnerable, and made a series of unfathomable political blunders that have damaged Labour’s integrity and people’s trust in us.
Some will argue that the answer is to go even further in chasing Reform. Not only would that be a betrayal of everything our party stands for, but we’ve also seen how pandering to the far-right only normalises, legitimises and strengthens their politics of division and hate. Today’s election results are proof that this won’t work.
So where do we go from here?
We need a Labour government that recognises its duty to working-class people, that fights for our rights and living standards, that takes on the vested interests holding this country back, and that makes the case for a more just and equal society.
It’s also clear that in England we’re losing council votes to the Greens and seats to Reform, often by small margins, and first-past-the-post is turning those margins into a gift for the far right. Without proportional representation, that same system could hand Farage a majority government in 2029 on a minority of votes.
We did not secure a historic majority in 2024 to be tepid in government, to punish the most vulnerable or to mimic our opponents. From housing to our hollowed-out public services, the country faces interlocking crises that demand bold policies and a progressive government with the courage to deliver them.
With this in mind, I believe the Prime Minister should announce a timetable for his departure.

You can’t trust Reform UK with our NHS.
Nigel Farage would make working people like you pay the price to access the healthcare you and your family need.
Vote Labour May 7 to protect the NHS – and make sure it’s there for all of us. 🌹
'It is very good for Ukraine. It is very good for the UK... and it is very good for UK-EU relations.'
Prime Minister Keir Starmer discusses talks between European leaders in Armenia, as the Government announces it will hold talks to join the EU's £78 billion loan for Ukraine.
.@HackneyAbbott: "Its one thing to say, as he insists on saying, nobody told me, nobody told me anything, nobody told me. The question is, why didn't the prime minister ask"
Spot on.
@sophielouisecc What winds me also Sophie is that 2 parents can earn £59k and claim child benefit, yet the moment one breaches £60k even if the other is below £58k have it removed.
Ed Miliband gets relentless bile from the right for his ‘ideological’ commitment to clean, cheap renewable energy - just as Nye Bevan once did for creating the NHS. Yet on March 25 97.7 % of our electricity was from renewables. A revolution is unfolding. https://t.co/BdGG1gkHuD
