The US President who knew Epstein intimately, was frequent flyer to the island, accused in files/testimonies, and probably ran a similar operation at Mar-a-Lago doesn't need to answer questions. But the British PM and Monarch do because they knew someone that knew Epstein #EpsteinFiles
Waiting for Parliament's debate about Russian influence on UK politics & democracy to begin. Hoping for some transparency.
Yes. Even though it was incredibly soft on the rich it's clearly intolerable.
Disgusting that #BBCLauraK repeatedly saying Reeves put taxes on working people up knowing damn well people think that means income tax, NI or VAT not mansion tax and freezing thresholds. There's a colossal difference in how Labour/Tories are treated by the media and I don't think people see it.
Large parts of Reform’s coalition could be reached through a fair economy, decent services and a sense that politicians are listening again. These voters are not lost. They want stability and a future where things work.

This shouty arrogance is what's wrong with our politics. She "couldn't care less" what other parties say, therefore she couldn't care less about the people they represent. Labour haemorrhaging support. No coherent plan. No coherent values. Greens are the only voice on the left in England.
I'm in the UK and honestly the US just seems like a weird and frightening place now.

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.
Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.
Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

I agree. It's horrible to blame all Jews for Gaza or all Muslims for ISIS or all supporters of a free Palestinian state for antisemitism. Meanwhile the people that sow and thrive on division are never held accountable.
And Sky News is hammering the message that because of this attack criticism of Israel's national policy can no longer be tolerated. Alongside the Israeli PMs letter to KC, this all feels a bit fishy.
My heart goes out to those who were directly affected by the synagogue attack in Manchester. The press aren't talking about the victims or the local community. This has been weaponized bigger and faster than any other terror attack, used to position one act as somehow representative of the whole UK.
I mean, why just young people though? Elders have fought this fight before. It's going to take all of us.

It should not be lost on anyone that when the current occupant of the White House made these comments, he already knew that the killer was from a conservative law enforcement family and raised with guns. And yet, he went on to blame the left and it seems incite future violence.
HOPE not hate has written to the Prime Minister, urging him to speak up and defend multicultural Britain. Now we are gathering messages from supporters across the UK.

“On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00pm (EST). For USAID personnel currently posted outside the United States, the Agency, in coordination with missions and the Department of State, is currently preparing a plan, in accordance with all applicable requirements and laws, under which the Agency would arrange and pay for return travel to the United States within 30 days and provide for the termination of PSC and ISC contracts that are not determined to be essential. The Agency will consider case-by-case exceptions and return travel extensions based on personal or family hardship, mobility or safety concerns, or other reasons. For example, the Agency will consider exceptions based on the timing of dependents’ school term, personal or familial medical needs, pregnancy, and other reasons. Further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming. Thank you for your service”
USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

Picture shows invitation from YouGov "we would like to invite you to our latest feature...which lets you earn extra points every day by sharing your bank transaction data with us."
What are YouGov up to? Should we be worried (considering it was co-founded by Nadhim Zahawi obviously as a political enterprise) that they are asking users to share their bank transactions? What are they after? Can we expect more headlines about benefit claimants buying Netflix?
