Historic England's response to the Proposed Reforms to the National Planning Policy Framework and Other Changes to the Planning System - February 2026 historicengland.org.uk/content/docs...

Westminster Meeting House raided by Metropolitan Police again. Statement: “For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent. That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.” – Oliver Robertson, Head of Witness and Worship Quakers in Britain, 5 March 2026

Yesterday evening, for the second time in a year, the Met Police raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists.

God it’s exhausting.

The finale of #TheNightManger seems to be the BBC telling us all clear as day that the world is fucked, the oligarchs have won and decency is a dead ideal.

As Warren Buffet says. You can’t negotiate with a bad actor, you will always lose. We want our politicians and journalists to remain bounded by some truths and rules. In which case they’re doomed to fail against Farage.

A regional one with ICBM and a tantrumming toddler in charge.

Disturbingly first poll I’ve seen with the right on 50%

So there’s going to be lots of money going in to the LAs to provide the expertise to deliver right? Right?

No, no it doesn’t.

Why is it never the racists fault?

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Balance the BBC The BBC is our national broadcaster, people expect and deserve balanced news coverage.

Please consider signing this petition calling on the BBC to balance their coverage of opposition parties. Currently, 60% of BBC coverage of opposition parties goes to Reform, which has 4 of the 250 opposition MPs. : www.libdems.org.uk/bbc?emci=e0b...

Well done Zoe. If only the grown ups could sit down to fix the issue. Which is fixable. But instead the energy and oxygen is used up having to debate these maters with morons like Simon Clarke.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. 

That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Or rather there a deep structural failings within the UK that means it fails to capitalise on the potential of its population. This about about failures to deliver a good level of basic education and investment in tertiary education and training. Not everything is Brexit.

While would she. She wants Israel to be Netanyahu. She’s been clear that those Jews who value Palestinian lives as equal to Jewish lives as being beyond the pale.

45% of people 🙄

All peachy, other than shitty bit in the middle.

If only we’d all accepted add breaks were part of providing free to air coverage. Then we wouldn’t be in the situation we are now with it behind a higher and higher paywall.

Announced day after Tour pto now be £35 pcm

Not sure whom it is but it’s obviously someone obnoxious enough I blocked a long time ago.

I remember dragging my mum here as a child. I can’t remember if we had to pay or anything all I remember is it being empty. To be fair it could have been heaving, I wouldn’t have noticed, I was absolutely hooked.

WelshGov releases July 25 report on the first 18 months of the "award winning" default 20mph limit for urban and village roads. Speeds down, 26% fewer casualties and little change in journey times. Lives saved, liveability increased bit.ly/40rfUZl

That is a good point. But as the French haven’t had a winner on bastille day since 2017 or 18 so they’ll probably just shrug.

Erm 🇮🇪

TNT would need to have people there instead of just screaming in a green studio in the Netherlands or whoever they are. I.e. they’d need actual journalists.

Ffs, who is cutting onions at this time of day.

ITV Cycling closers 🎶🧵

Seems it’s just a 404 now

I think pretending it’s autobiographical whilst claiming they were the victim of some kind of unscrupulous business scam whilst fact being the criminals perhaps goes beyond embellishing.
