"The world that rich people live in is so different from ours. I wonder if it rains there." Remember this next time you read a quote from a tech bro or precarious-job billionaire. They live in a different world, & some (if not most) have forgotten what it's like in ours. #GoodMorning, everyone

#Bradford of all places doesn't need more division. Its council now has a Reform leader. We are more. We need to come out at least on election day. Your absence during the local elections was a vote for Reform. Other parties on offer might not be great. But they're better than this. Vote.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says the war in Gaza Strip was a major factor for young voters in 2024 and argues Democrats are doing a “real disservice” by omitting it from post-election analysis.

Trump: "Mr Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce is here. Looks good, looks handsome. Reasonably handsome. He doesn't look like Jaxson. I'll take Jaxson any day."
