More questionable reporting from @yorkpress Council auditors undertook 146 fraud investigations, only 22 related to parking permits & some of those res park permits yet itโs blue badges that make the headline again with photo. Lazy journalismโ

ALT Probes into blue badge fraud and holiday lets using parking permits in York headline with photo of road sign saying blue badge holders only.

Some of the sharpest analyses of Israeli politics come from Daniel Levy.
This should be subtitled in every language. Short, clear, impeccable.
Daniel Levy | Former Israeli Peace Negotiator | US/Middle East Project (@USMEP):
Netanyahu did not alone commit genocide for 3 years. He did not alone maintain decades of illegal occupation. It was system-wide.
Eisenkot was part of it & served in the military. He sat in the emergency unity security cabinet after Oct. 7 - during the genocide.
Israeli generals, soldiers & judges - all part of a system-wide mobilization. Dissenting voices existed but remained marginal.

Twenty year-old care workers, teaching assistants and security guards do the same work as their older colleagues.
They don't pay less in the supermarket or at the petrol pump and should be paid equally.

"It is bonkers that income from wealth is taxed at a lower rate than income from work."
Great to hear Ellie Chowns call out CGT for what it is, a ridiculous unfair give away to the country's richest. We need reform now.

Royal Mail should be back in public hands.
After years of missed delivery targets, Royal Mail has proven it canโt be run effectively by the private sector.
Thatโs why Iโve called on the Government to renationalise it.
If we fail to act, we risk losing Royal Mail for good.

How can @andyburnham take back Thames Water?
Easy
1) Stop creditors approving *another* bailout on Thursday 29th by removing its licence - 2 DAYS TO GO
2) ZERO COMPENSATION for shareholders
3) SLASH THE DEBT (part of special admin process)
Then transfer to PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

Oxford Street is traffic-free today. @voteTimBarnes on BBC London: the buses, taxis and deliveries "are going to have to go somewhere", the small streets around, "which really can't take them". "Too much risk that the bad will outweigh the good." #WestminsterMatters

At least Marie Antoinette had the decency to suggest that the peasants eat cake. Andy Burnham has told us to eat gherkins.

Why should Carerโs Allowance be reduced at all? ยฃ86.45 a week isnโt even a wage, let alone minimum wage. Carers provide thousands of pounds worth of unpaid labour, often around the clock. Why is the government clawing back pennies from people saving it billions?

Your food bill starts long before you reach the checkout.
Fuel. Energy. Wages. Rates. The cost of producing and moving food matters to everyone buying it.
The farmersโ union and all nine big supermarkets have made the same call ahead of tomorrowโs Budget: back British food and farming.
The Treasury can ease that pressure, or add to it. Iโll be watching what it means for our farm and your shopping basket.
What would you want the Chancellor to do about the cost of food?

China responds to Trumpโs allegations of election fraud in Brazil:
You tried to influence the election.
Your side lost.
Now you call the result โrigged.โ
We recognize the Brazilian peopleโs choice.
At this point, Washington is no longer being humiliated by others.
It is humiliating itself.

Jeremy Corbyn: 'We Need a Budget for the People.
As millions struggle with the cost of living, Chancellor John Healey must use this weekโs budget to redistribute wealth and lift people out of poverty.'

Last night, a woman with no phone, no bag, flagged down my black cab. Sheโd fled an abusive partner. I took her somewhere safe, an address she provided
No app. No booking. Just a cab she could stop when she needed help.
Thatโs a value no app can replace.

The most immoral army continues to slaughter children. Nearly daily.
UN bodies and human rights groups have documented the pattern in detail. Anyone who denies it should read these reports.
We keep receipts and there will be accountability.
