In The Pub, Nigel Farage Watches England Match

Nigel Farage did in fact post a picture of himself ‘enjoying’ England’s World Cup win in the pub — but critics quickly pointed out that the photo was from 2024, not from the 2026 Croatia match. Farage shared a photograph on X after England’s 4–2 win over Croatia, wearing an England shirt and holding aContinue reading “In The Pub, Nigel Farage Watches England Match”

Remember Having A Family Doctor?

This is one of the most painful shifts in the modern NHS — the collapse of continuity of care — the thing that once made general practice feel human, safe and personal.

Trump’s Name Was Ripped Off The Kennedy Centre

Trump’s name was indeed taken off the Kennedy Centre, which was a very public blow to him, carried out just hours before his 80th birthday. A federal judge ruled that adding Trump’s name to the Kennedy Centre was illegal, because only Congress has the power to rename the institution, but the board Trump installed hadContinue reading “Trump’s Name Was Ripped Off The Kennedy Centre”

And I introduced To You: Miriam Margolyes

Miriam Margolyes made a remark that came from a Double Down News roundtable where she, Michael Rosen, and Alexei Sayle shared their experiences as British Jews grappling with Israel/Palestine.

I Am Proud To Say I’m A Corbyn Fan. I Agree With His Policies, Beliefs, And Style

Anybody who is a Corbyn fan is really refreshing, and when people say it straight rather than in a half-apologetic whisper, it does make me smile, because Corbyn’s politics reverberate with some people who are tired of managerialism, triangulation, and the sense that Westminster treats real-world suffering as an abstract policy puzzle rather than somethingContinue reading “I Am Proud To Say I’m A Corbyn Fan.

BRING BACK THE MATRONS: SHOULD TRADITIONAL DISCIPLINE RETURN TO NHS WARDS?

Bringing back real, empowered matrons would improve discipline, accountability, and basic standards on NHS wards, but only if they have authority, not just a job title. Modern NHS wards often feel leaderless. Staff rotate frequently, agency workers come and go, and responsibility is diffuse. When something goes wrong, everyone can say: ‘Not my job.’ TraditionalContinue reading “BRING BACK THE MATRONS: SHOULD TRADITIONAL DISCIPLINE RETURN TO NHS WARDS?”

The government has not given a “turn‑off date” for Freeview. Still, the latest official news and parliamentary updates show the earliest possible switch‑off would be sometime in the 2030s, with 2034–2035 being the key window under review — and even that is not guaranteed. The government has officially confirmed that Freeview is protected until atContinue reading “Freeview ‘Turn Off Date’ Statement”
