As mayor, I issued marriage licenses to same-sex couples in San Francisco.

The polls were against us. Republicans were attacking us. Even many in my own party said it was too soon.

Have the courage to lead.

American satellite company Planet is restricting access to its satellite imagery, making it harder for media organisations to report what the US & Israel are doing in Iran.

I’m working with Governor Gretchen Whitmer on trying to save The Great Lakes from the rather violent and destructive Asian Carp, which is rapidly taking over Lake Michigan, and all of the beautiful surrounds. I’ll be asking other Governors to join into this fight, including those of Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, New York and, of course, the future Governor of Canada, Mark Carney, who I know will be happy to contribute to this worthy cause. Separately, I am also working to save The Great Salt Lake, in Utah, which, in a short period of time, if nothing is done, will have no water. This is on top of everything else I am doing. Only β€œTRUMP” CAN DO IT! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Jess Phillips backs jury bill as she reveals she is β€˜victim of courts backlog’ Exclusive: Safeguarding minister says man accused of restraining order breach will not come to court until 2028

"It’s OK for me. I’ve got extra security, I’ve got other safeguards. But imagine that was a breach of an order against a violent ex-husband, and it’s going to be heard in more than 2 years’ time. Are you joking? That’s absolutely mental.”

Nigel Farage's Humiliating Iran U-Turn Should Be a Lesson for Keir Starmer By sticking to the correct and popular position on Donald Trump's Iran war, the Prime Minister has now forced his political opponents into an embarrassing reversal, argues Adam Bienkov

By sticking to the correct and popular position on Iran, even under relentless attacks from the right-wing press, Keir Starmer has forced his political opponents into an embarrassing reversal.

It is a lesson his Government should learn from bylinetimes.com/2026/03/10/n...

Europe must stop letting the Middle East distract from the real existential threat.

Our main focus has to be on helping Ukraine completely defeat Russia.

We cannot secure the world if we let Putin win in our own backyard.

Arm Ukraine now!

So Badenoch, Farage and Blair think the Iran war is a great idea? Hmm … | John Crace Kemi may be all in favour, but at least economic realpolitik is forcing her to take a slightly different tack

How democratic is the UK? The UK has a crisis of democracy

UK democracy in action.

Thousands of unpaid carers prosecuted for inadvertently breaching benefit rules.

No Post Office exec prosecuted for false prosecutions of postmasters.

In 2017, 72 people died in Grenfell fire. Execs β€œdeliberately concealed” the fire risks of cladding. No one prosecuted.

Cor, sure would feel great right now if we were self-sufficient in renewable energy, and laughing at all the rubes reliant on global oil supplies. We'd have a bit of a swagger in our step today.

If I thought Trump retained the intellectual ability to do this, I would say it was his intention. But quite clearly the senile sex-offender is incapable of the necessary coherence of thought

Although I guess Vladimir could use words of one syllable in instructing his vassal President what to do

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

Never has the UK needed a Government that will build Houses, Renewable Energy, Water Treatment and Hospitals more than it does now

But due to privatisation our Government does none of these things, because they have been sold to billionaires

It's time to undo Thatcher's poison

It's not even that she is denying what she previously said, it's that she goes on to repeat it in the interview and still insist she doesn't mean what she is saying.
