Truss is right that there is economic group-think in UK policymaking, but her departure from orthodoxy was to extol Reaganism rather than Thatcherism.

We need a totally different economic model.

This is a victory for the NEULondon members whose petition called for Paul Marshall to be removed as a trustee of Ark.

Hate has no place in our schools.

We are sleepwalking into a catastrophic global conflict.

Our political class shows no interest in de-escalation, diplomacy or restraint — and it is always other people's children who pay the price.

In a world of endless war, we need voices for lasting peace.

Millions of us have been calling for a ceasefire to stop the loss of life and prevent a wider conflict.

Political leaders have chosen to ignore us — and their failure to facilitate de-escalation has endangered everyone.

The world is in a truly perilous state. It’s time to…

Every single opportunity to actually listen to the majority of people in the West - who have been calling for a ceasefire & the suspension of arms sales to Israel - has been wasted & now we find ourselves marching towards a wider war.

We need de-escalation now.

Peace not war.

Iran seems to have launched a largely ineffective attack against Israel, with 99% of the drones & missiles downed and no civilian casualties reported so far.

Our political class should be pulling every lever to deescalate this conflict to prevent a broader regional war.

Remember when the UK government and Prime Minister Sunak also condemned Israel's 'reckless attack' on an Iranian consulate in Syria 'in the strongest terms'?

Oh, wait...

You would think Iran had just randomly attacked Israel based on how the media & Western leaders are responding, rather than responding to an attack by Israel on their consulate in violation of international law.

Our schools are crumbling
Productivity is flat-lining
The NHS is in crisis
Investment in infrastructure is badly needed
We've seen the biggest decline in living standards since the Napoleonic Wars

And Starmer thinks an extra £10 billion a year for defence is the priority 🤦‍♂️

The reason anti-trans campaigners are doomed to a lifetime of disappointment is very obvious:

Trans people won’t stop existing - quite the opposite - and nor will people determined to affirm them and support their happiness and security.

The right-wing press will do whatever is necessary to discipline Angela Rayner for being slightly to the left of the rest of the Shadow Cabinet.

As usual, Starmer is willing to give whatever answer he thinks the right-wing press want to hear, even if his answer risks the end of all life as we know it.

This season of The Apprentice is absurd. Phil won one task in the entire season, but he's in the final because he already has a successful business that Alan Sugar has clearly had a mind to invest in from day 1.

You’re the second largest supplier of weapons to Israel.

Bragging that you offer aid to those surviving your weapons is absurd, not least given Israel is deliberately blocking aid from getting to those who need it anyway.

Can (((Dan Hodges))) clarify whether he thinks his colleagues should be sent to prison for camping outside Jeremy Corbyn's home?

And for publishing pictures in newspapers, and broadcasting it on national television.

P.S. Here's a screenshot from his newspaper, the Mail on Sunday.
