Asda chair Lord Rose disparages sick and disabled people in his comments about reforming benefits. “We can’t just become a state now where people just live on handouts. ‘Oh, I’m not feeling very well. Oh, I’ve got a headache. Oh, it’s a bit cold this morning. Oh, I’m feeling a

As our letter in today's FT makes clear, higher public investment is crucial for better public services and overall economic growth. The only purpose of the falling debt to GDP fiscal rule is to keep public investment low. That rule has to go. ft.com/content/b0df31…

Second screenshot. Look how he reacts when called on his behavior. He was another guy with a hero complex that turned on Ukraine when he got rejected. Many such cases.

I’m not someone who thinks we should be ratcheting up sentencing across the board… but I really do think we need to look at sentencing for viewing child abuse imagery online. These are real crimes with real - child - victims. theguardian.com/media/2024/sep…

Aston Villa Football Club is deeply shocked and profoundly saddened to learn that Gary Shaw, one of our European Cup-winning heroes, has passed away. Gary was one of our own, a talented striker who delighted supporters with his goalscoring exploits which helped fire Villa to

The politics of 'stop the boats' has been disastrous & unwinnable for Tories & it will be for Labour. There are about 1.22m immigrants to the UK each year. Stopping every boat would mean there were 1.20m. To frame the immigration challenge as 'stop the boats' is lazy & weak.

Lord Rose: “I’m not being rude. And people will say I’m some toff who’s got a silver spoon in his mouth. Well, I wasn’t born with a silver spoon. I was born and lived in a caravan." George Michael, Praying for Time: "The rich declare themselves poor"

anyone else really not feel optimistic about the fact it is becoming increasingly impossible to exist in public life and have occasional but inevitable conflict with others without someone plastering your face everywhere for all to see and making it the world’s business

Hi Charlotte! I thought you'd want to know that you've written an entire article for The Daily Sceptic based on an error. Shaun Bailey the Mayoral Candidate and Shaun Bailey the ex-MP are not the same guy. @Toadmeister - you might want to double-check Charlotte's work in future.

one of the most odious lies that Stein and her compatriots spread in this interview is that BBC and PBS are just propaganda arms like RT. Unlike RT, neither BBC nor PBS run covert weapons procurement and supply operations afaik. Just ludicrous "both-sidesism."
