Caroline Lucas: “Do you trust this man (Reform’s James Orr), I would like to ask you?” Caroline Lucas: “Because I have a vision of a bus with £350m” Everyone Laughs. Fiona Bruce interrupts unnecessarily with "but there are people in this audience who support Reform" And?

🚨WATCH: A detransitioner tells the California State Assembly how his body "fell apart" after being put on estrogen and puberty blockers at the age of 13. "Nipple leakage, brain fog, chest pain, depression. I was urinating blood and had ulcers in my bladder and was too weak to attend school," Johnny Skinner said. "When I told my doctor how sick I was, he looked at me and said, welcome to womanhood." Skinner made the comments while testifying against AB 1876, a bill that would prohibit insurers from denying or limiting coverage for so-called "gender-affirming care." "This bill forces insurance companies to fund this cruel homophobia. It continues the lie that some children are born in the wrong body. Vote no," Skinner added.

This is what the Conservative Party did to all of us! Never let it happen ever again!

Actually, there is no LGB without the TQ+. It's always been LGBTQ+ Divorce request denied

When I was at university a Nigerian on my engineering course told a joke about corruption I adapt it for the present: So a Pakistani engineer, a Nigerian engineer and an English lawyer go to visit each others country after graduating. Nigerian visits the Pakistani guy. Says "You did well for your self, expensive car, huge house you were a bit of a waster at university, how come you did so well for yourself?" Pakistani guy rubs his hands together and says "I went into the Civil Service, see that bridge over there... 20%" Few years later Pakistani guy visits the Nigerian guy. Says "Wow you are doing even better than me you have a fleet of cars, a mansion, security your own jet, your were an even bigger waster than me how come you are so rich" Nigerian guy rubs his hands together and says "I went into politics. See that bridge over there... 40%" Another year passes they both go back to England and visit the English guy. He has a lovely property and expensive car as well. They both say "You were the biggest slacker of all of us how come your are so rich?" English guy points and says "I stayed in Law, See that bridge over there?" Nigerian guy says "No"

I believe we are standing on the precipice of the most profound, intentional collapse of human civilization in recorded history. The trigger isn’t a meteor, a supervolcano, or even a world war in the traditional sense. It’s the potential destruction of a single industrial facility: the Ras Laffan liquefied natural gas (LNG) complex in Qatar. Modern civilization doesn’t just run on energy; it is fundamentally architected on a steady, massive flow of natural gas, supercooled and shipped as LNG. This isn’t an abstraction. Our global food supply, our industrial chemical production, and the very stability of nations are tethered to this flow. That tether is frighteningly thin. Qatar's Ras Laffan is the heart of this system, a nexus of technology and geography that is effectively irreplaceable. Its 14 processing 'trains' and the critical Main Cryogenic Heat Exchangers (MCHEs) that chill gas to -260°F are marvels of engineering, but they represent a catastrophic single point of failure. As noted in energy literature, the specialized machinery for this process is made by only one or a handful of companies globally. This infrastructure isn't just important; it is singular. Its loss would not be a temporary market disruption. It would be a decade-long severing of the global energy artery. The recent, deliberate sabotage of critical infrastructure like the Nord Stream pipelines has shown us that such attacks are not theoretical. They are tools of geopolitical warfare. When you understand that over half the world's food depends on fertilizer made from natural gas, the picture becomes horrifyingly clear. We have built a world of astonishing abundance on a foundation of shocking fragility. One facility, in one volatile region, now holds the key to whether billions eat or starve. Two of QatarEnergy's 14 LNG trains have now been destroyed. The rebuild time is 3-5 years. If all 14 trains are destroyed, 25% - 50% of the world's current population will starve. Trump did this.

This Labour Government has lifted the two child limit because every child the best start in life.

Bills could be cut by up over £200 a year by stopping gas setting the price of energy in the UK. Government could do this now as part of a series of measures to insulate us from the shockwaves of this war. This isn't a time for half-measures, we need serious action and fast.
