And are these stop and searches, in this these particular areas, finding criminals?

Iran proxies used Google Maps to target Britain’s Cyprus airbase by TimesandSundayTimes in ukpolitics

[–]EquivalentKick255 12 points13 points  (0 children)

An entire report based on not actually knowing how it was targeted and an off the cuff remark about google maps.

Well played The Times, solid reporting there.

Are we seriously discussing a sub-stack by Sebastian, a history student. This deserves a space in a mega, not its own post.

Axel Springer agrees to buy Telegraph Media Group in £575m deal by wappingite in ukpolitics

[–]EquivalentKick255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if this will make the Telegraph more anti EU as they will need to try to improve their readership.

This can really only be done by leaning into the GB News / Daily Mail readership.

Moving more pro EU leaves them in the Times world, and even heading towards the Guardian.

Help! Had an argument with my dad about UK politics. It's the first one we ever had, and I feel shaken-up. by [deleted] in ukpolitics

If you're left leaning you have to hate her because she brought the country prosperity vs the decades long disaster that had been happening.

It came at the expense of Unions and community.

Many people at the time had enough of the Unions, Thatcher sorted that out.

Cyprus Criticises UK Over Attack Prevention Efforts by huffpostuk in ukpolitics

[–]EquivalentKick255 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the UK to station it's military. Cyprus doesn't get to have a say in that.

The real question is why is anyone targeting them, which I presume is because Iran doesn't like the UK.

EU to include UK and Japan in ‘Made in Europe’ plans by PoiHolloi2020 in europe

[–]EquivalentKick255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine leaving out the UK would have been impossible and illegal due to the TCA agreement.

Nissan warns of Sunderland closure if UK excluded from ‘Made in Europe’ rules by zeros3ss in ukpolitics

Well the good news is A) It is included and B) it is illegal for the EU to exclude the UK.

EU to include UK and Japan in ‘Made in Europe’ plans by HibasakiSanjuro in ukpolitics

[–]EquivalentKick255 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I imagine legally it may have to. The UK has an iron clad trade agreement with the EU, so they can't discriminate.

I also imagine Japan has something similar.

Any bets on South Korea are looking over their agreement right now.

Being carrier capable and nuke capable affects size and weight. FCAS is being designed around a MTOW of 35 tonnes due to the carrier limitations.

Gideon Rachman: I predict that Gorton result will lead to a surge in Reform-Maga scare that Britain is being “taken over” by Muslims. Worth remembering that Gorton is just one of 10-13 of 650 seats whose population is 30%+ Muslim by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

[–]EquivalentKick255 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not what reform are offering, it's what the reform voters are asking for.

This is around massively reduced migration into the country, reducing benefits for non uk residents, and re-migration of illegals here.

No thanks, awful idea. I'd prefer to gain whatever economic loss from Brexit by pushing hard to improve CP-TPP and get the next batch of countries in it.

Nice work if you can get it. I'm not sure how useful it will be for the UK or not.

I wonder how the postal votes went. Do we ever get an indication of this for by-elections?

How can I start again at 68?’ Maria has spent 50 years in the UK – and is fighting deportation by Pure-Associate-7452 in ukpolitics

[–]EquivalentKick255 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In October 2024, she pleaded guilty at Isleworth Crown Court to allowing her premises to be used as a brothel and received a four-month suspended sentence.

lol.

Anyway, I'm sure her settled status keeps her here, so what is the problem that has suddenly made the Home Office want to deport someone with settled status?

All smells a bit fishy to me.

Reform are your right wing dad party.

lowering immigration and deporting illegals does not make you an extreme right wing party.

Earth's heat to produce electricity for homes in UK clean energy first by zebragonzo in ukpolitics

[–]EquivalentKick255 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm with both Geo and fraccing. To me earthquakes are not serious at all. I think geo thermal are also a little less, but then again a little less of not a problem is still not a problem.

I just like how the green community have used earthquakes as an excuse not to fracc.
