Spot on.

The UK is spending £369m refurbishing Buckingham Palace for King Charles, who has £22bn and gets £500m more a year. He can pay for his own renovations, £369m is more than England spends on building Social Housing in an entire year for the whole country.

In the 1990s, Canadian ecologist Suzanne Simard made a groundbreaking discovery that challenged everything we thought we knew about how forests work. While studying managed forests in British Columbia, she noticed something puzzling: when birch trees were removed to promote the growth of valuable Douglas firs, the firs did not flourish as expected, they actually struggled and grew more slowly. Determined to understand why, Simard traced the movement of nutrients using radioactive carbon isotopes. What she found was astonishing. Trees were actively sharing resources through vast underground fungal networks known as mycorrhizae. These delicate, thread-like fungi connect the roots of different trees across the forest floor, forming a complex web that allows the exchange of carbon, water, nutrients, and even chemical signals, sometimes between entirely different species. She discovered that older, larger trees often serve as central "hubs" or "mother trees," supporting younger saplings by redistributing vital resources and helping the entire ecosystem remain resilient. When these key trees are removed, the underground network weakens, and the health of the remaining forest declines. Simard’s research overturned the traditional Darwinian view of forests as battlegrounds of ruthless competition. Instead, she revealed a far more sophisticated reality: forests operate as highly cooperative systems where trees communicate, support one another, and even warn neighboring trees about threats like drought, disease, or insect attacks. What appears to the human eye as a silent, still forest is, in truth, a vibrant, interconnected living network, built not on isolation and rivalry, but on deep connection and mutual aid.

JD Vance says Henry Nowak would still be alive if “the last few generations of Europeans had stood their ground against the mass invasion of migrants” If the Native Americans had kept out the invader scum like Vance, we wouldn't have to listen to this shit.

The UK believe 20% of population is black (3%); 15% is Muslim (4%); 5% transgender (0.6%); 15% gay and lesbian (1.8%); 20% of the country is vegan or vegetarian (4%) Misinformation from the Media

Blowing up the Boleyn, moving to an athletics stadium, changing the badge, scattergun recruitment, refusing to pay compensation for managers, not investing more in the training ground & years of sheer incompetence & mismanagement. Good riddance David Sullivan.

Jeremy Hunt on Sunday with Laura Kuennsberg "pensioners have had very generous pension increases". What fucking planet is this idiot living on? The cost of living has gone up by £100 a week and pensioner's got £11. Is it any wonder nobody trusts a politician?

From making fans pay to watch football matches previously broadcast for free to screwing railway passengers for every last penny and selling off dozens of reservoirs, 40 years of neoliberalism has been all about enriching the billionaire class at the expense of everybody else

Labour has taken four rail companies into public ownership, so that - in Keir Starmer's words - they will now 'be run for the public good, not private profit'. On that logic, why not do the same for water, electricity, gas and Royal Mail?

Britain has the dirtiest rivers, the most expensive energy, the least reliable trains, the most overcrowded prisons, the worst access to healthcare and the widest gap between rich and poor in all of Europe. If you want a verdict on 40 years of neoliberalism, there it is.

If the UK rejoined the Single Market there would be £42bn a year to spend, jobs galore and it would kill Nigel Farage. Lets do it.

If you do exactly the opposite of what Tony Blair is saying. Renationalise everything. Support pensioners, disabled people and low paid workers. Don't waste all your budget on War. And tell Donald Trump to fuck off. That's a pretty good manifesto isn't it?

We have raised the issue of why bottles of water were not allowed to be taken in to the LS on Sunday. For anyone there, it was incredibly hot. Water is a life saver. We have asked the Club to apologise to the supporters and issue a statement saying it would never happen again

First things first we aren't a global brand now we been relegated so let's revert back to our original badge and fuck the London off

Yesterday was difficult for us fans. Forget about the players, they will be off on holiday today, moving on to other clubs, signing bigger contracts earning more money than this season. Rewarded for failure. But us. The fans, we don't just leave. For me supporting West Ham is not about trophies, its not about relegations. Its about community...Identity, its about the person you sit next to, most of us go for years, see the same faces and don't even know their names. A unique subculture where nodding to a stranger you’ve sat near for five years carries more genuine weight than a boardroom handshake. We come from the same place, not geographically but mentally. We have something in common that draws us to the struggle. Trophies are great, but they are fleeting moments. The real substance of this football club is that collective memory, the generational loyalty, and the community that remains standing long after the current squad has moved on to their next contract. This club was built on grit. My Hammer of the year is us... The fans. -@StatManBenB #WHUFC #COYI #WHU #CHAMPIONSHIP #WESTHAM #WESTHAMUNITED #FANS

.@LindsayHoyle_MP Dear Sir Lindsay, Helen Whately is misleading the House. No one EVER got a Motability car for tennis elbow or acne. She presents no evidence because there is none. She is lying to whip up hatred of disabled people. Please refer her to the Privileges Committee.

Dodger, a clever ginger Cat from England He became a local celebrity after his owner discovered he had been regularly riding public buses on his own sometimes even taking a 10 mile round trip. Drivers began recognizing him, offering him food, and even knowing exactly which stop to let him off at, while passengers happily let him curl up on their laps like a seasoned commuter
