Maybe you should stop demonising people with mental health problems then, rather than calling them lazy scroungers, slashing their benefits and forcing them into jobs that may worsen their conditions.

After attempting to change the 'Gulf of Mexico' to the ‘Gulf of America', Donald Trump inspires another rebrand as 'Strait of Hormuz' increasingly starts to look like 'Shit Creek'

Unfair. • 271 MPs claimed £293,000 expenses in a single year for you to pay their heating and electricity bills. • Meanwhile, 2.36 million UK families are living in fuel poverty. MPs should pay their own heating bills.

Tragically, the mainstream Parties all like spouting this rubbish. From Peter Lilley's Little list to Alastair Darling, Osborne, Duncan-Smith, Ashworth etc. If they're going to dump on anyone, it's always the poorest and most vulnerable people's fault.

EXC: Inside Morgan McSweeney's cosy leaving drinks last night — Acc to multiple witnesses Keir Starmer, in a speech to room full of Labour right types, said that McSweeney is not only one of the best political strategists in the country, "but in the entire world"

We're well into Spring. And the Sun is now a thing. Even with a East wind warning. It's really becoming warming. So @EastMidRailway have treated us! Their carriage temperatures are Plus! Plus! Plus! I feel I'll have lost several pounds By the time my feet touch firm ground!

“From April 6, most new recipients of the health element of UC will see their extra payment cut from £430 a month to just £217.” Research highlights small jobs impact of extra DWP support, just as ministers use it to justify cuts - @johnpringdns disabilitynewsservice.com/re…

Washington keeps talking about energy independence. Meanwhile, Beijing just turned an entire mountain range into a power plant. The Panjiang photovoltaic base in Guizhou is the largest single solar project in the province. Over 2.3 million panels stretched across rocky mountains that nobody wanted. This was land too steep to farm, remote to develop and poor to matter. Beijing looked at it and saw something different. They saw a power plant. Engineers used cable cranes to lift panels up sheer cliffs, drones mapped terrain that construction crews said was impossible to build on. AI systems now tilt each panel in real time based on cloud cover and incoming storms. The result generates 1.33 billion kilowatt-hours per year. That powers nearly 2 million households and displaces over 1 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. But this single mountain project is barely a rounding error in the real story. In 2025, China installed 315 gigawatts of new solar capacity. The United States installed 43, and China added more than seven times what America did. It actually gets worse. US solar installations dropped 14 percent last year, while China's broke every record in human history. In the first half of 2025 alone, China installed more solar than every other country on Earth combined. They accounted for 67 percent of all new solar capacity added globally. China's total solar capacity now stands at 1.2 terawatts. By the end of this year, solar will overtake coal as its largest source of installed power capacity for the first time ever. Here is the part that rarely gets discussed. China does not just install the panels. They manufacture over 80 percent of every component in the global solar supply chain. A finished solar panel made in China costs 50 percent less than one from Europe and 65 percent less than one from the United States. Eighteen of the top 20 solar manufacturers on the planet are Chinese companies. This is industrial warfare fought with silicon and sunlight. Cheap energy is the foundation of everything. Manufacturing, artificial intelligence, data centers. and national competitiveness. The country with the cheapest electrons wins the next century. Right now, that country is not the United States.

First it was Manchester. Now West Yorkshire. This is looking increasingly embarrassing for @LancashireCC bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3wl…

Labours attitudes towards water companies is one of the starkest examples of how they'll do anything to protect the status quo. The case for water nationalisation is so bloody obvious to everyone - yet they'll do anything they can to keep the failed privatisation experiment.

Water bills up 12% Council tax up. Energy bills still over double what they were s5/6 years ago and set to go higher. Food prices about to follow suit thanks to the Middle East thing we're supporting. Yeah! We're all going to benefit! 🤔🙄🤬

This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states. The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.

One of Labour’s main donors Dale Vince praises the Green victory in Gorton and Denton. Not official Labour policy! “Congratulations to Hannah and to Zack. The Green Party ran a good campaign in Gorton and Denton. “It resonated with voters, struck a chord because people are fed up with the status quo. Nothing seems to have changed in their lives, since the end of the Tory era. “We need to reform of our energy system and our tax system, two big levers to address the cost-of-living crisis and the imbalance in our society - and we need to put people before the interests of big business. We actually need reform with a small r. “This was a protest vote - a message for Labour. I hope they have their ears on. It was also a rejection of Reform, again. “Despite the opinion polls, when it comes to the crunch people just don't want Reform. And how ironic for Farage to complain that the Greens ran a divisive campaign - that’s Reform’s entire way of doing politics.”
