Votes for 5-year-olds coming soon to an election near you! It might not be Starmer who introduces it but in Labour's second term it will be Rayner. Always guided by the Monster Raving Loony Party's priorities.
@DaleVince A one year old is old enough to pay tax if they earn over the threashold (includes pocket money).When Labour lowered the voting age from 21-18 and then 18-16 these were both pedges previously made by Screaming Lord Such of the Monster Raving Looney Party .What next, 5 year olds?

More Labour negotiating skills on display.
I’m not laughing, it’s hysteria setting in. The deeply stupid 1 in 1 out migrant deal with France lists the following surrender terms. (Reported in the Guardian). ▪️ The UK pays all transport and admin costs, both directions. ▪️ France can veto any migrant we want to return, no

This is important information. It's not provided by government but this organisation has pulled it together for us. Essentially £100k/immigrant up front before they even get LTR. Our tax goes on them and not public services.
@Keir_Starmer On average, an asylum seeker costs the British taxpayer £1,582 per week, a figure obscured by the government’s fragmented budgeting - scattered across Home Office, NHS, and legal aid and local authority accounts, with overspends ballooning to billions. This includes: . - living.

This is a useful independent perspective on aid in Gaza. Real footage of Gazans collecting food at hubs. They're even giving aid specifically to women and children. Clearly Hamas doesn't like this because it can't steal the aid and then sell it.
Thanks to @visegrad24 for the editing. On July 28, 2025, I was granted rare, unrestricted access to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid sites. What I witnessed challenges much of what’s being said in the media. Here’s what’s really happening on the ground. 🧵1/

900 men crossed the Channel in dinghies today. Greece has suspended its asylum programme for 3 months and will return all illegal immigrants arriving during this period. How can Greece do this but not UK? @Keir_Starmer , could you ask your counterpart how they achieved this?.

An A321 for 2 people seems extreme. Presumably his wife will have paid for her flight since she's not part of the government?. It's not the use of PJs that grates. We knew Labour would use them. It's the hypocrisy. They pretended they wouldn't, but in fact are using them 3x more.

Congratulations England @Lionesses for winning the Euros. They deserve their time celebrating in the ticker tape!

This Islamophobia law is going to end free speech. As a Christian I'm concerned we're heading towards a situation where I'm not allowed to speak about my faith. Not because I criticise Islam, but because the implication is any statement that contradicts Islam is illegal.
Labour have cut funding for Tell MAMA - a widely respected independent anti-Muslim hatred charity which the Conservatives funded for years - whilst giving £1 million to the British Muslim Trust to do similar work. Why?. The founder of Tell MAMA opposes the divisive Islamophobia

Apart from the tragedy of the environmental damage lithium extraction for EVs is causing, this process is putting huge amounts of water vapour into the atmosphere. This is much more of a greenhouse gas than CO2. How is this factored into EV emissions?.

The world's race to decarbonise has led to the rise of electric cars - and with it, soaring demand for lithium, which is required for the batteries

Giving 16-year-olds the vote has been picked up by the BBC and it is providing its Bitesize education like it does for GCSE exams. Clearly children need some help with voting. So it offers 3 pieces of advice: focus, eat well, and ask a friend. Deep stuff!.

Lowering the voting age across the UK means around 1.5 million 16 and 17-year-olds will be able to vote at the next general election.

Sad that Marseille is surrounded by fire, but the BBC refers to it as a "wildfire" when it was started by a car that caught fire on a motorway. The BBC implies global warming is the cause but it's yet another human-caused fire, accidental or deliberate.
bbc.co.uk
The city's mayor says the fire is "decreasing" but is still not completely under control.
