Obama is giving a truly inspirational eulogy at Jesse Jackson's celebration of life.

It's Shakespearean. Supreme. @barackobama.bsky.social

Whatever you personally think of trans people, in general young people are much more accepting and supportive of trans people than older people are. Many of them have close friends who are trans. Most really don’t think things like the toilet issue are problems.

Glasman has realised that the right wing media will throw money and exposure at right wing people who say they are left wing but proclaim that everything the left says and does is wrong. He's a grifting reactionary, a Yawnmeister.

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

The remarkable thing about Pedro SΓ‘nchez is that he has faced everything modern European politics has to throw at a government - the scars of the eurozone crisis, a polarised and fragmented politics, snobbery from other Europeans - and built the most successful economy and foreign policy in Europe.

This is what Badenoch, Farage, the Murdoch press, and Paul Marshall's stable of GB News weirdos want us to get behind, and you know what I'm good, thanks...

In UK, a nice person with rescued greyhounds is elected to parliament, while in the United States a bad person who actually boasted of executing their own dog is sacked.

Today we launch our plan for Wales, putting behind us the dark days when Nathan Gill, the Leader of Reform in Wales, took bribes to do the bidding of foreigners.
In other news, we have just had another Β£3million donation from a crypto investor who lives in Thailand...

Why I fell in love with Welsh nationalism Plaid may be a small party for a small country, but SW1 has been small-minded in ignoring it for so long.

When the premise of your article is that you champion and understand Welsh nationalism, maybe don't call Wales a Principality in the second sentence? spectator.com/article/why-...

No. You would legitimise them in unhelpful ways.

First, it says that your are fine with the way they've treated.

Second, you lend your authority to a sham debate with an obscure aim, that is surely intended to normalise Palantir and position any opposition as "extreme liberal whining" etc.

Most of this country's problems are down to the toxic right wing press, bone idle broadcaster amplification of bad faith reporting and lies, and politicians' fear of challenging the status quo. That and our forelock tugging deference to well-connected, pig-ignorant chancers with cut glass accents.

Big money has bought British politics

75% of Reform’s money has come from three rich white men

This is the front cover of ReformUK's Welsh manifesto.

If they achieve nothing else during this campaign at least they will always have the manifesto cover most clearly created with ChatGPT.

Reform UK will be using scrapping the 20 mph limit as a key Welsh manifesto pledge.

There’s been a 11.8% fall in road casualties in the 18 months since it was brought in. The majority of 16-34 year olds support the 20 mph limit.

Another case of Reform being out of touch with future generations.

Migration is part of what makes this country great.

We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours.

The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.

Farage has said he will only allow people who live in Wales to get social housing - you already have to live in Wales to get social housing here. The BBC reported Farage but made no correction.

Of the Β£5m+ donated to Reform in the final three months of 2025, more than half (Β£3m) was given by crypto investor Christopher Haborne.

The rest appears to have been given by an assortment of metals traders, asset managers, and property developers.

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.

Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.

This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:
