Two White Girls Refuse To Sit Next To A Black Guy On The Bus Blacks: “One of us will cut you open while the other 8 just sit there and watch you bleed out alone." Also Blacks: “You racist for not sitting next to me!" The most delusional people on the planet. Zero self awareness. Zero introspection.

🚨 BREAKING: Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips has resigned from Keir Starmer's Government




Men really be telling on themselves for free 😭 We’re literally giving away FREE flowers at my job. Like… no catch. No purchase. Just “hey, take these home to your wife or girlfriend.” And almost every man who walked in was like: “Nah, she’s good.” SHE’S GOOD?? 😭 Sir it costs you absolutely nothing to bring home a tiny gesture and make someone smile for 5 minutes. The flowers were FREE. The romance was FREE. The brownie points were FREE. At this point I fully support my own decision to stay single because what do you mean the bar is underground and men still bringing shovels.



BREAKING: An ally of Wes Streeting - who came out publicly to call for Starmer to go - says Streeting has “blown it.” They say he has lost support today from MPs who might have backed him and that they now don’t think he has the numbers to get on the ballot.






Hope resides in our young people. But Brexit has held them back. They should be able to live, work and study in Europe, which is exactly what our Youth Experience Scheme will deliver. This is part of rebuilding a stronger relationship with Europe. That's the Labour choice.


There are moments when a government stops pretending it serves the public and starts acting as if the public is an inconvenience. Today was one of those moments. David Lammy has not "reformed" the justice system. He has amputated half of it. Jury trials have not been modernised, updated or streamlined. They have been gutted. What was once the people's check on the power of the state has been reduced to a token relic, preserved for the handful of cases the government cannot swallow whole. Everything else will now be processed, quietly and efficiently, by officials behind closed doors. The press will call this a compromise. It is nothing of the kind. It is a triumph. Lammy came for the whole system; he has banked half of it. He dressed it up in the usual soft language – backlogs, delays, victims, fairness – but the facts are stark. One in 66 defendants will now stand before a jury. The rest will be judged by magistrates or by lone judges in "swift courts," with sentencing powers increased, appeal rights constrained, and the public removed from the room. That isn't justice. It is throughput. A conveyor belt built to ease administrative pain, not to protect citizens from the state. Lammy now claims Magna Carta as his ally, as if the document that first restrained English power somehow gives him permission to expand it. Magna Carta stands for one thing above all: the people must stand between the state and punishment. Lammy's scheme removes them. Magna Carta curbed arbitrary authority. Lammy consolidates it. Magna Carta was a shield against state excess. Lammy has turned it into a prop and waved it around as justification for stripping away the very principle it established. There is something indecent in that. And he knows it. If the backlogs were the emergency he claims, the remedy would be straightforward: fund the courts, staff the system, build capacity. But that would strengthen the justice system, not the government. Lammy has chosen the other path: weaken the system, strip away safeguards, and declare the damage necessary. And note the most revealing admission of all – that the backlog will get worse before it improves. Strip rights now in the hope that things might improve later, though he cannot guarantee they will. This is crisis as leverage. Failures turned into mandates. Decay turned into opportunity. This is not the end of jury trials; it is the breach before the end. Once a government has discovered it can remove a centuries-old right without public consent, without a manifesto commitment, and without fear of revolt, it will not stop. It will return, inch by inch, until the last vestige of public involvement in justice is gone. And when that happens, the state will no longer need to persuade anyone of anything. It will accuse, and it will convict, and the citizen will stand alone before a system that no longer answers to him. Lammy has proved one thing: that an ancient right can be stripped away not by coup, but by administrative decree, sold as progress, and imposed with the calm voice of a manager. He has halved the institution he once praised. He has weakened the only mechanism that forces the state to justify itself to its people. And he has shown that a government can dismantle liberty not with riot police, but with legislation drafted in committee rooms. This is a government drunk on its own authority. It is not clinging to tradition; it is dismantling it, brick by brick, and daring the country to object. Britain is not yet a state where the only verdict heard is the state's. But after today, it is much closer. And if this generation does not resist what is being done in its name, the next will inherit a justice system where the public are not participants, but spectators – watching a distant machine decide their fate.
