A great roommate will be with you through thick and thin…but the best roommate will win $1.2B for universal childcare with you. @ZohranKMamdani and I have been working together since 2021 to deliver on the essentials that Brooklyn needs. Proud to have his endorsement.

In a 42 second clip from a decade ago, Farage displays a greater understanding of Anglo-French cultural differences and how they pertain to European integration than any Europhile intellectual with a PhD and a think tank position ever could.

When is a meme not a meme and just extremely hurtful?
Regarding recent "Chinese caste system" discourse: did you know Britain also has a caste system of its own?

Not a prudent move. Reza Pahlavi is not a respected figure on either the international stage or within Iran. Encouraging him merely gives fuel to the claim that Western Opposition is just a smoke-screen for political penetration and humiliation.

A proper newspaper would have found a gawdy headline for this. "Running dry- Thames Water Hates the Homeless" "Dry runnings- Thames Water's failure means thirty people are on the streets for SIX MONTHS!" I guess this is what you get when your local newspaper isn't a tabloid
#Bermondsey modular homes for rough sleepers to finally open in July They have sat empty for half a year due to Thames Water's ongoing failure to connect the water supply southwarknews.co.uk/area/ber…

Roy Hattersley's plea to Gordon Brown on the eve of the 2000 budget: 'So this is my message to Gordon Brown. You've got money to spend as a result of 2.5 years of prudence. If you use it to cut taxes, particularly for the well off, that would be a betrayal of all you and I stand for. There are people out there who need it. They need it spent on their hospitals, need it spent on their schools, need it spent on their pensions. That's what you ought to do tomorrow. Not simply to keep a promise, but to keep faith with all that the Labour Party stands for'.

tories cut defence spending to 1.8% so idk why you’re piping up.
Dan Jarvis took the Defence Sec job knowing he would be humiliated immediately. He will now have to go to NATO with no credibility, not enough money, and everyone knowing he is just a Treasury puppet.
