Netanyahu is bombing Lebanon because his political career (and therefore avoidance of prosecution) depends on constant war. How many more people must die for the sake of one man's standing?

Lowe's latest policy is a referendum on the death penalty, followed by the retrospective introduction of capital punishment for past murders.
"If the British people support the reintroduction of the death penalty in our referendum, a Restore Britain Government would put Axel Rudakubana to death"

This is especially bad news for Leila Cunningham who has been put forward as Reform UK’s Mayoral Candidate (two and half years ahead of the election), and rather punctures her message that we Londoners must be “pitied.”

I don't understand her. Is she telling us we should be afraid of people like her? (I am actually, but because of her politics rather than her race or religion or skin colour)
I regret to inform Leila Cunningham that Londoners do not need her “pity.”
What it needs is for fewer people to talk about it like it’s a haunted theme park - I live here, and it is, despite its issues, a fabulous place to be.

Reading this, one proposal is to raise state pension age to 70, which is fine except our ageist society routinely forces people out of work in their 50s. Add to that most people can't afford to retire in their 50s and you potentially have a giant fucking crisis right there

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Honestly think anyone considering coming to the US for future international sports events should really consider it carefully. These people do not give due process. They don't care about your ID. They grab you if they don't like the look of you and then there's no telling where you'll end up.
Sour grapes. That’s why this is happening.
