Love Lambeth The council plans to purchase properties previously sold under the Right to Buy scheme in order to increase the supply of safe and secure housing for local households.

In Lambeth we’re buying back former council homes to help undo the damage caused by Right to Buy depleting our housing stock.

Investing in our council homes, building new ones & buying back old ones - we’re taking every step to tackle the housing crisis.

But not to Ukraine. Or Taiwan

Sánchez: “You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.

“We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”

There is almost no difference between the UK and French positions on Iran. But Macron's approach has been broadly accepted by French media and the opposition - except for the extreme left. The parallel with the UK is interesting.

Nigel Farage has logged more than 1,113 hours on ‘second’ jobs since becoming MP So much for Farage being a man of the people, who gets ordinary voters.

The Reform UK leader has spent over 1,000 hours or 140 working days at his various other jobs since being elected to Parliament– neglecting his constituency and Parliamentary duties.

The world’s most unreliable encyclopaedia: Elon Musk’s AI Wikipedia alternative is distorting the truth about Northern Ireland, defaming, and perversely altering history From Bloody Sunday to RHI, Gerry Adams, Bobby Sands, and Michael Stone, Elon Musk’s Grokipedia is spreading dangerous lies about Northern Ireland

The world’s most unreliable encyclopaedia: Elon Musk’s AI Wikipedia alternative is dangerously distorting the truth about Northern Ireland, defaming & perversely altering history. It smears Troubles victims, lauds a paramilitary force & libels politicians.

Why women have to queue for the toilet – and what it says about how cities are designed Even when both sides occupy the same area, men’s facilities can serve more users.

“Toilets” - “a quiet but powerful indicator of who public space is really designed for, and whose bodies are still expected to adapt.”

Great article!

This isn’t a hallucination, Michael Gove. You’ve never explained the millions you disbursed to buddies with your crony Covid Contracts.

Cashing in on the worst public health crisis in a century should disbar people from public life permanently.

I've seen things on here relating to Freddos. Not sure about the context, but this was interesting.

For anyone who would like the clip (including George).

The front page of The National. The headline reads: THIS IS THE HUMAN COST. The photo stretches across the front and back pages of the paper and is the aerial view of 100 freshly dug graves for the murdered schoolgirls of Minab, Iran

NEW: US & Israeli have bombed a 4th school.

Shahid Hamedane School in Tehran was hit today, following schools hit in Minab and Parand, Iran.

And The National in Scotland seems to be the only newspaper in the Western world giving these war crimes appropriate coverage.

Tomorrow’s front page👇

Israeli attacks on UNIFIL peace keepers tonight. Irish service men were not directly hit, but they aided their counterparts from Ghana. This will further deteriorate Irish Israel relations.

Another reminder that billionaires are not billionaires because they are smart.

They are rich because they are broken in a way that allows them to completely ignore morality in order to gather more wealth in a doomed attempt to fill the unfillable hole inside them.

Ukraine accuses Hungary of seizing cash and gold shipment, detaining bank staff Kyiv denounces Budapest’s “state terrorism and racketeering” after cash convoy and seven employees detained.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

Hundreds of US women charged with pregnancy-related crimes since fall of Roe Study finds prosecutors targeting low-income women mainly in US south – and figure likely to be an undercount

The Representation of the People Bill contains some useful measures, but it must go further – put proportional representation on the statute books, shut loopholes that let dark money in, and modernise media platform oversights to stop misinformation and disinformation.

Axel Springer acquires British 'Daily Telegraph' The group said it wants the group to become a 'leading center-right media outlet in the English-speaking world' and to 'turbocharge' expansion into the US.

Does this remind you of someone else and his trip to the Chagos Islands? Tate and Farage, best buddies and hardly a functioning brain cell between them 🤣

Look, anyone with an iota of common sense can see that solar panels on roofs is a good idea. Renewables are a good idea. Investing in locally produced, renewable energy supplies is beyond a good idea; it's a necessity. It's energy security. It's national security.

Mexico's President Sheinbaum opposes US and Israel illegal war; "The UN has stopped fulfilling its role ... Countries with greater military power prevail, that cannot be." "It's not about who opposes or supports a regime; it's about civilians who pay for it, the bombing of a school full of girls."

Again, Farage, Badenoch and their fellow travellers on X are wildly out of touch with the public on Iran.

Even the majority of Reform supporters oppose their position.

Says more about Andrew Neil's American friends than it does about the judgement of Keir Starmer.
Andrew Neil is the Spurs of political pundits - once he was serious, now he's a joke.

We're investigating a firm called MP Estate Planning, which sells trusts to save elderly people from the "modern threats" of divorce, bankruptcy, care home fees and inheritance tax.

We believe the trusts don't work.

If you've come across the firm, please get in touch.

Farage meets Trump today at Mar-a-Lago.

I wonder what he'll whisper into the lunatic's ear this time.

And this is what Kemi Badenoch, Farage, and a host of right wing “commentators” would like us to participate in.

There was a shit-ton of coverage here in NZ when 27 girls died in the Camp Mystic floods in Houston last year. There has been noticeably less about this
