Sexualised jokes in reply to a woman... irrespective of who that woman is this isn't funny or edgy its misogynistic terminology in order to verbally humiliate her ... not the first time his misogyny has been noted either... I don't like her but I think its unacceptable and more Trump than British
Blimey. Did I really just hear Keir Starmer say this

Dear Reader... this is in fact bollocks... unless he suffered internal bleeding from the force he used to whip out his gun and murder an innocent young woman in front of her wife and labrador... Ross murdered her because "hard men" cannot cope with women who are unafraid of them...
Zero percent chance this is true.

"The maximum time a prisoner can spend on remand is 182 days (six months). Yet Muraisi and Ahmed were arrested in November 2024, and are not due to be tried until June at the earliest, which means they will be remanded for 20 months."

Shameful.

24m Britons live below minimum socially acceptable living standards.

Major parties make sound bites, no plan to address cost of living crisis.

Won't end profiteering, increase real wages, redistribute wealth, curb power of corporations/rich.

Need more working class people in parliament.

Israel America and Britain need to keep their noses out of Iran... the unbearable conditions Iranians have been forced to endure for decades were because of the actions of these countries who surprise surprise wanted to control the oil ... leave Iran be they won't need your intervention
While Trump considers another foreign intervention, this time in Iran, the US would be wise to reject Netanyahu’s support for the restoration of the Pahlavi dynasty ousted in 1979 for its economic incompetence and secret police brutality. The Iranian people deserve better after decades of suffering

Ai is dangerous... this would be amusing if it was an episode of Red Dwarf but it isn't... it's a lonely male who for whatever reason can't find a girlfriend so he creates one... becoming in time a danger to real females because an Ai girlfriend can only go so far ... appalling technology

Trump demands that the UK allows American chlorinated chicken and hormone-treated meat into its supermarkets.

UK already agreed to pay more for US drugs, reduced tax on private equity managers, considering cutting tax on tech companies.

Why do they want us to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)?

The Government moots leaving the ECHR as a pragmatic solution to an immigration “crisis”, but is there a more sinister motive behind the push?

Their majority came directly from a huge popular vote AGAINST years of right wing governments... and their takeaway is that we want the hostile environment we actively rejected. Utter deluded fuckwits.

Long before calendars and countdowns, writes Peter Thurlow, the year turned at Samhain – the night we now call Hallowe’en.

For the Celts, it marked the end of one year and the start of another. 🍂
Autumn is the mind’s true spring, and Hallowe’en its new year
Our new year is an uneasy celebration tagged onto Christmas. Much better to return to its proper place, in autumn

To my grandads' generation, it really meant something because they had been through WW1

Same thing for my Dad's generation and WW2.

Now this mawkish modern "war Christmas" has become performative and tacky as hell. Hijacked by politicians who have no interest in its purpose it's lost meaning too
I recall in the 60s, Remembrance Day was one solemn Sunday morning. That was it.
It was a moving occasion at our local memorial and attended by actual WW1 and WW2 veterans. Unlike the mawkish weeks long competition for the most tasteless display of a poppy that it's become
