The UK government keeps claiming that the UK has the highest growth in the G7. This is not true. The UK had fast growth between 2021 and 2022 at 4% but since then the growth rate has been one of the slowest and lowest in the G7 and is expected to be around 1% during 2025. This is a lot lower than the USA.

You cannot believe anything the #Tories say.
Lest we forget (again)...
A new U.N. report detailed “horrific violations and abuses” in the Sudan war as fighting spread to more areas of the country. Both the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary have committed indiscriminate attacks on civilians, including mass rape. However, the war in Sudan has been overshadowed by the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, meaning desperate pleas for aid have largely gone unanswered.
It looks like the UK governments Rwanda deportation plan might be about to fall apart…
The UN Security Council today sanctioned senior leaders of six armed groups operating in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), including the resurgent M23 militia, as violence spirals in the region. DRC’s government, the US, the UN and others accuse neighboring Rwanda of supporting the M23, which is threatening to capture the east’s biggest city. Rwanda denies any involvement.
So King Charles and Kate don't use the NHS then? There's a surprise.
Do you ever wake up and think…we’ve totally lost the climate change argument and the world is totally fucked and our children and children’s children are fucked and it’s all too little too late and anything to do with ‘saving the planet’ is just another stupid marketing campaign to sell more shit and COP 20whatever is just run by the oil companies as another place to sell more oil? Yep, fucked.
I’m looking for a recently published (say last two to three years) science fiction novel that over 400 pages and preferably isn’t part one of a 3 or 4 part series - stand alone.
Any ideas or suggestions? I recently tried Europa Deep by Gary Gibson, The Blighted Stars by Megan O’Keef (quite boring) and Plutoshine by Lucy Kissick but didn’t get far with any of them. All a bit seen it before.
Any suggestions and ideas welcomed.
Hey Americans, shock news, it can be done, Head of Parliament who’s not over 75 and is openly gay. Sack off the old men and get a couple of young people to run your country. You might find it refreshing.
