Male life expectancy in Glasgow is also 73, meaning if the pension age were to rise to 74 that the average Glaswegian man wouldn't even claim a state pension. There's massive class injustices in these proposals, including the forms of work we'd be asking folk to do in their 70s.

'Let's see if we can do what various international security agencies tell us they are incapable of doing...' @PatrickChristys confronts a migrant smuggler in Northern France after posing as someone trying to cross the English Channel.

Before today, it was always possible to believe the UK government was simply misguided by bad dogma. The Afghan Super Injunction proves they KNEW they were betraying us and did it anyway. It's a milestone

If the UK state can secretly relocate thousands of Afghans into our country while gagging media, with no democratic accountability, no vote, no scrutiny, no transparency, while committing billions that are not shown in the budget then it makes you wonder What else is it doing?

Morning I am still supporting this campaign & shocked that Government officials have issued permits to British hunters who shot cheetahs allowing them to bring their ‘trophies’ back to the UK. British hunters are being given permission by the government to bring home trophies…

Saw #TheCroft yesterday at @salisburyplay starring the always brilliant @Harker56 who was just magnificent 👏👏👏 Fantastic play, lots of jumps and shocks, wonderfully creepy, do go and see it if you can!

Love, compassion and community? This Labour Government? Do me a favour. Tell that to the gang rape victims who want a national inquiry. Tell that to the disabled people whose benefits you're cutting. Tell that to the pensioners who can't heat their homes. Tell that to the…

“What are you in for?” “Three Douglas Murray books and a Portillo train journeys DVD”

Imagine this: a group of working-class white men flood into Parliament Square on a Saturday afternoon, waving Union Jack flags. Among them are known criminals—some with violent records. They shout abuse, deface statues, urinate on memorials. They hold signs with slogans like…

Alleluia! Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia! From all of us at Salisbury Cathedral, we wish you a happy and blessed Easter. 📸 Mike Boss Photography

It’s crazy that they keep pushing adolescence (fiction) but yet won’t push three girls which is based on a true story, honestly how these people can look at themselves in the mirror blows my mind.

UPDATE — The Cabinet Office is still refusing to release the minutes of Keir Starmer’s private meeting with BlackRock’s Larry Fink in November 2024. They’ve upheld their decision under Section 35 (policy formulation) and Section 43 (commercial interests). Despite acknowledging…

The swan rings the bell when it wants a treat. 😂 This is Wells Cathedral in England. Started by one of the Bishop's daughters in the 1850s, the tradition of swans ringing a bell for food at The Bishop's Palace continues to this day!
