Pope Leo XIV gave a speech to workers in Argentina widely seen as a rebuke of President Javier Milei's austerity and anti-union policies.

According to the Conservatives, asking employers to be honest about how much they intend to pay staff is making their lives more difficult.
Just like the minimum wage and the ‘excessive’ maternity pay that the Tories opposed.
Out of touch, never on the side of working people.

👀 Interesting intervention from @RachelReevesMP on today's UK growth numbers (which in many respects are "her" growth figs since much of this GDP was generated when she was Chancellor):
"Today’s news shows just how great a turnaround we achieved"

🚨NEWS: The UK economy is growing at the fastest rate in nearly 10 years, outside of Covid.

Very good news: growth momentum, far from slowing, strengthened into the second half of this year - British firms are investing and growing:
- GDP grew 0.7% in the 3rd quarter
- GDP/capita also grew 0.7%
- Business investment is up 3% on the year
- UK export volumes are up 5%

Very welcome growth figures this morning. With the foundation fixed, Britain’s economy is not just resilient, but strong. A turn around from the economy we inherited. Lots done, more to do.

Mississippi just elected its first Black Senator in 150 years - and for so many reasons, that’s remarkable. Here’s why.

Andoni Iraola said straight after the Arsenal game he didn't want apologies from ProRef nor would he waste time seeking meetings. He knew what he saw when Timber grabbed Isak's shirt, as did everyone. There should have been a penalty. It was absurd those officiating got it wrong.

Whately is a very twisted individual
Helen Whately calls it “morally the right thing to do”.
But child DLA isn’t awarded simply for having a diagnosis, it’s based on additional care and mobility needs.
Recognising a child’s disability isn’t giving up on their future.
So how will children losing financial support be better off?

The problem, not just with so many owners in modern day football, but many societal problems, is grifters and asset strippers, like Radcliffe. Accorded respect by so many in the media, who instead should be castigated.

A remarkable and deeply moving photograph capturing the first two minutes of silence in London, 106 years ago on Tuesday 11th November 1919.
The first time a grieving nation held its collective breath.
Lest we forget.

One of Pres. Trump’s many inaccuracies — let’s not put them higher than that — is to say London’s crime, especially knife crime, is serious. In 2018-2019, 585 under-25s in London were admitted to hospital for assault with knives and other sharp objects. In the year to July 2026, the number was 260, a fall of 56 per cent. Knife crime has dropped in New York too, but it’s still 1.2 times higher than in London.
