So many of us use PIP - intended to cover the extra costs of disability - to pay for things the State used to provide but no longer does
Rent shortfalls, healthcare (mental, physical), support workers
Local councils, when they do provide social care, often now take a chunk

The head of Africa CDC has warned that the unprecedented Ebola outbreak could reach the UK. Comparing the threat to Covid, he said: "We want all countries to know that they are not safe."

With almost no media coverage, in great part because the majority of these villages were Shia, Israel has completely leveled 48 of 60 cities in Southern Lebanon.
It might be the single biggest ethnic cleansing campaign in modern history with the least international pushback.
Today, 48 of the roughly 60 villages and towns within Israeli-occupied southern Lebanon are mostly levelled, a NYT analysis has found. nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

So let me get this straight: Bolsonaro left Brazil without his passport and came to America to seek refuge here... and somehow he's NOT considered an "illegal alien"?
got it

A Campaign Against Antisemitism steward was filmed by Al Jazeera offering to provide “muscle” at a rally organised by Turning Point UK, a far right group that Al Jazeera revealed to have links to Loyalist paramilitary contract killers.
The CAA was already thoroughly discredited last December when a judge ruled a case it had brought against the comedian Reginald Hunter was “vexatious” and “abusive” and aimed purely at getting him “cancelled”. So horrified was the judge by their behaviour he instructed a copy of his ruling to be attached to any future legal action brought by the CAA.
It is astonishing the CAA still has charitable status and more astonishing still that the BBC interviews it as being representative of the Jewish community.

Slavery was legal.
Segregation was legal.
Never use legality as a guide to morality.

Stop blaming everything on El Niño while conveniently leaving out human-caused climate change. El Niño is temporary. Global warming driven by fossil fuels is not. Funny how one gets mentioned repeatedly while the other gets ignored.

Lowe is a millionaire, born into a life of immense privilege. Instead of being grateful that he's never had to choose between heating and eating he's furious that the government is helping people who do, by taxing people like him. Incredibly, he also thinks you should vote for him.

Well, well, well...
80% of "donations" to Nigel Farage’s party are from donors or companies based overseas.
This is not normal.
And the public deserves to know what these super-rich donors want back in return.

Wellthis aged well. Leave aside the complete misreading of the result from someone posting this morning- not last night- the wilful mischaracterisation of the political realities is shocking if not surprising. I say not surprising because I once had the experience of @EmilyThornberry berating me in her office for talking about "Israel". She was insistent ... the Problem is this particular Government... this was many Governments ago. She is seeking to sustain the liberal zionist myth of a progressive body of opinion in Israel, reflected in opposition parties who oppose the oppression of Palestinians and will act to end it. It means she wilfully ignores the fact that every one of the Zionist parties support the genocide in Gaza, support the occupation and would never allow a Palestinian state. She ignores what creates this reality- the support for these policies across the Israeli public - 82% believe every Palestinian should be ethnically cleansed from Gaza and 56% support the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian citizens of Israel. Maybe Emily doesn't think these views are " cruel, dystopic and authoritarian". If she did she'd had to accept the problem is Israel as an apartheid state enacting a genocide supported by its people , not Netanyahu. And if she accepted that she might have to support comprehensive sanctions and we can't have that can we?
Israeli Exit Polls show Netanyahu's been defeated.
Israel has rejected his dark vision, forever war & cruel, dystopic, authoritarian policies.
But to succeed, the anti Netanyahu block needs to work with the Israeli Arab parties.
I dearly hope this great chance isn't wasted
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Exit polls showed neither Netanyahu's bloc nor the opposition reaching the 61 seats needed for a majority, resulting in a deadlock rather than a clear defeat.

Clive is willing confront wrong and fight for rights. Turns out he will go more than the extra mile. Thank you, Clive.
Yesterday, I was barred from entering the West Bank by Israeli officials, as part of a @ProgIntl delegation.
What's happening here in Palestine is unjust. We've just witnessed what Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and many others have called a genocide unfold in Gaza.
We came here to show the world, and to show solidarity with the Palestinian people. The Israeli government didn't allow that.

My friend Jason Scott Warren attended a lecture about climate change from former U.K. Chief Scientist @Sir_David_King last night.
He says Sir David talked of the the real possibility of billions of deaths by midcentury. Yes, read that again. That’s just under 25 years. That would mean global collapse essentially - of the global economy, of society. How old will your children be then?
I understand that the establishment just listen to each other and not to scientists, but the gamble they are taking is a crime in itself. It is massively reckless and irresponsible.
People like @LordAshcroft @DavidGHFrost @afneil @mickbooker of GB News etc have decided the worlds most respected scientists are wrong and that they know better, despite having no scientific training in climate science at all.
It is madness that they won’t even speak to these scientists. I don’t think I’ve ever been aware of anything more illogical or reckless in my life.

You live in East Sussex. In the latest census data just 1.9% of households contain nobody with English as a main language. 94% of the population identify as British/English. 98% have lived in the UK for at least five years. Is it possible they just don't want to talk to you?
