We now have proof that the Corbynistas have taken over the Green Party. What a shameful day for the party of Sara Parkin and Caroline Lucas. And how ironic it is that Zack Polanski's own party have singlehandedly struck down any chance he had of winning Thursday's by-election.

The state pension is a welfare benefit. The fact itโs a contributory benefit doesnโt mean thereโs a pot of money for you on reaching pensionable age. You donโt pay for your pension: taxpayers do. Itโs past time working-age taxpayers had the pressures of the triple lock lifted.

Iโm only half joking when I say that our country would be in a much better place if politicians still responded with such utter disdain for deeply stupid questions

Hero to the far-right and tankies alike, despised by everyone else.
Today is a day of celebration for all Bosnians and decent people around the world.
Former Bosnian Serb military chief Ratko Mladic has died aged 84. The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) convicted Mladic in 2017 for his role in Europe's worst atrocities since the end of World War II. A United Nations court at The Hague rejected an appeal by Mladic in June 2021, confirming his life prison sentence. @RSE_Balkan

Imagine growing up in absolute dirt poverty in east Tennessee, daughter of a tobacco farmer, going to school wearing rags your mother stitched into a coat, and when you die the British royal family has its military band play your up-the-workers country-pop anthem in tribute.

I understand that "the council has now apologised and changed the deadline to October 5".
I would like to know on what basis the original deadline of 7 October was originally decided, by whom, and who authorised & signed off on it in addition to Zoe Garbett? This was featured in Garbett's original letter so we are all owed an explanation & apology from her, too, plesse.
There appears to be no apparent rhyme or reason why a letter dated 29 July would have resulted in a deadline of ten weeks. This couldn't possibly have been an accident. I'm appalled and the principle of charity must have its limit.
It's clear that the unattributed apology is only because of the backlash, but not from Greens who signed off on it. The damage has been done. The grotesquely offensive use of this deadline was self-evident to all.

These โantizionistโ nut-bags live and breathe โPalestineโ, thereโs absolutely no way it was an oversight. Sheโll be too shameless to resign, so she should be pushed.
Zoe Garbett, the mayor of Hackney who demanded that Haifa respond to her decision to end the 1968 twinning agreement between the two cities by October 7th has "apologized" for "the serious oversight."
Tell me this, which is more likely: she totally forgot what happened on October 7th and randomly chose that Wednesday as a deadline or she thought she was being subtle in turning in the knife just a little more?
Because I know what I think it is.

And so it begins. Steve Reed, a close ally of Keir Starmer, becomes first cabinet minister to go.
But he departs with a parting shot over Labour party (dis)loyalty.
"Keir Starmer showed loyaly by appointing me to his cabinet. I make no apology for retuning that loyalty. It's what is expected from functioning teams, and I hope that those who did not show loyalty to Keir will now show it to you".

#OTD 2007. Tony Blair ends decade as PM in last PMQs - to a standing ovation on both sides of the House
โSome may belittle politics but we know it is where people stand tall. I know it has its many harsh contentions, it is still the arena which sets the heart beating fastโ

It is really depressing how the impact of ending private school tax breaks on less than 10% of British children gets so much attention - much of it exaggerated - whilst the impact of austerity on 90% of British children in state schools has had so little ๐๐พ
Commentators, columnists and opposition politicians were apocalyptic with claims that ending private schools' tax breaks would overwhelm the state sector.
The data shows those predictions were wrong.

Keir took a Labour party that didnโt deserve the name and made it plausible. Then, his hard work and relentlessness let it dream again. Then, he won. He is a monumental figure in Labour history: his legacy will be a platform from which the next leader can build. Cheers, boss.
