Let's be absolutely clear: there is no amount of new drilling in the North Sea that Burnham could approve which would be consistent with our climate goals. If we are to avoid complete climate breakdown, we need to turn all effort to clean renewable energy - not doubling down on dirty fossil fuels.

Great to speak to lots of different channels this morning about what's needed to turn our country around. Rent controls, wealth taxes and action on climate. Half measures won't cut it. Time to be bold.

I bought salad makings at the supermarket today, because it's Britain and, while we have done stupid things with our food supply, (see Brexit) we never put RFK Jr. in charge of its quality control.

Hezbollah’s strikes against Israel didn’t come out of nowhere, they were directly responding to Zionist aggression in the region. Israel loves to play victim and pretend they’ve never hurt anyone, but they are and always have been the aggressors. Don’t fall for the zionist victim complex.

In 2019, Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party dismissed fears of Russian interference and voted against stronger measures to combat Kremlin propaganda. Six years later, former Reform Wales leader Nathan Gill is serving ten and a half years for taking bribes to promote pro-Russian interests.

You don't send 20 FBI agents to a residence for a "routine" check. You know they are clearing out Lindsey Graham's computers, correspondence, and personal notes. They are protecting this administration by wiping away any incriminating evidence.

Reform's Zia Yusuf had claimed the state was "providing no protection whatsoever" to the party's MPs. In fact, Nigel Farage had been offered a package that would have given him the same level of protection as Kemi Badenoch - but he turned it down.

Seems to me that Australian Jewish community relies heavily on the ‘vibe’ of perceived bias of the national broadcaster. Maybe they just don’t like actual factual ‘news’ of the current extreme RW Netanyahu government’s live genocide and illegal occupation of the West Bank and Lebanon.
