I know the different perspective will be appreciated, especially as it talks about Labour being very left wing.

Nothing wrong with protecting your finances through sensible legal means right?

That all sounds way to complicated, you don't have a Guardian link to that by any chance?

I suppose there isn't a Mail parody account because it is already a parody of itself.

Take this best-rated comment on an article today about street flags, spelling mistake included.

Excellent. No-flag areas are now no-go areas for the patriotic Brits!

I saw an Aussie flag flown high today. I guess it's due to the Ashes.

I am a little confused about whether this is favourite ever, this week or just today. However, regardless of whether that is breaking the rules, it has to be the winner! Is Alan Lee actually crying with laughter there?

This has appeared on the website today and I imagine will feature in tomorrow's paper.

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/nov/19/i-never-wanted-to-sing-into-a-vacu

It is an article about the incomparable Dick Gaughan and his struggle to get back his lost music.

He is another with a Leith connection and I had the privilege of seeing back him back in 2011. Sadly he no longer performs having suffered a stroke a few years ago.

Why the hell would anyone jump through hoops, even small ones, to fund the Daily Mail? Wouldn’t a Stormfront subscription be easier; straight from the horse mouth and all that.


(Super important article in the OP by the way. Loads of the processed crap we eat is linked to cancer, heart disease, obesity and more. And it’s not like we don’t have an epidemic of cancer, heart disease and obesity to raise a few concerns).

A snippet from Politics Live in the Guardian, the last sentence of which applies to me.

Former Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle joins Greens

The former Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle has joined the Green party, it has announced. Russell-Moyle, who represented Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven, was a leftwinger who was banned from standing as a candidate at the 2024 election on the basis that Labour had received a complaint about him. The allegation was never publicly specified, and after the election Russell-Moyle was told the investigation into him had been dropped.

With Russell-Moyle no longer a candidate, Labour selected Chris Ward, who for many years had been one of Keir Starmer’s closest advisers, as its candidate. Ward is now a Cabinet Office minister.

Explaining his defection to the Greens, Russell-Moyle said:

"For almost ten years I worked alongside Caroline [Lucas] as the MP next door. My old party has left behind millions of people who want hope and want to see change in their lives, their communities and the world around them.

In the Greens I see a party that is offering that. In the Greens I see a party I have worked with for years and I am making the jump to join them today, I urge others to do so too."

And Zack Polanski, the Green party leader, said:

"I am delighted to welcome Lloyd to the party today. Lloyd will bring a huge amount to the Green party. His story is one that is all too familiar; abandoned in the interest of power and profit over people and principles. Lloyd and tens of thousands like him have not left the Labour party; the Labour party has left them."

“No matter which way the political pendulum swings, Republican or Democrat, nothing ever gets better for the common American man or woman,” Greene said.

“When the common American people finally realize and understand that the political industrial complex of both parties is ripping this country apart, that not one elected leader like me is able to stop Washington’s machine from gradually destroying our country, and instead the reality is that they, common Americans, the people, possess the real power over Washington, then I’ll be here by their side to rebuild it.

From Politics Live, and further evidence of the lack of rational debate when it comes to immigration.

"IFS thinktank questions wisdom of international student levy, saying it's 'unusual for country to tax its exports'

The government’s planned levy on international student fees, details of which are expected to be fleshed out in this week’s budget, would constitute a tax on a major UK export, a leading thinktank has warned.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) called on ministers to explain the economic rationale behind the controversial surcharge, which vice-chancellors have warned will leave many already struggling universities even worse off.

In a new analysis of the government’s recent post-16 education and skills white paper, the IFS said:

"The government has not yet set out any strong economic rationale for the introduction of an international student levy.

Providing education to international students counts as one of the UK’s export activities, and any lost fee income from prospective international students deterred from studying in the UK would amount to a reduction in UK exports.

While taxes on imports (tariffs) are fairly common, it is unusual for a country to tax its own exports."

The IFS also questioned the government’s claim that the money raised from the levy will fund the return of maintenance grants for low income students who sign up to priority subjects that support Labour’s industrial strategy. It said:

"If total spending on maintenance grants is genuinely tied to the amount raised through the levy, this is unlikely to represent good policymaking as there is no reason that optimal spending on these grants would match – or evolve over time in the same way as – levy revenues.

The planned return of maintenance grants will be welcome to those who qualify for them, but restricting eligibility to those studying ‘priority’ subjects means only a minority of low-income students are likely to benefit directly.

As a result, these reforms are unlikely to resolve wider concerns about the generosity of support for students’ living costs, or inequalities in access to higher education."

A couple of headlines from Politics Live, the first of which seems rather petty given no such rule applies to sweets and cakes, and the second of which I'm not sure I believe.

"Streeting confirms sugar tax being extended to cover milkshakes and other milk drinks"

"Minister says use of private money to fund new health centres will be 'fundamentally different' from flawed PFI schemes"

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/nov/25/removal-judge-palestine-action-b

Emily Apple, the media coordinator for Campaign Against the Arms Trade, called Chamberlain’s removal from the Palestine Action case “deeply alarming” and urged the court to explain the reasoning behind it.

“This raises serious questions around the lack of impartiality and transparency in our judicial system, and whether this is now a pattern in significant legal cases concerning Palestine,” she said.
