The Guardian editorial today reflects the reality for millions. Bills soaring. Wages stagnant. People pushed to the brink. We don’t have to accept this. It’s time to do things differently. join.greenparty.org.uk

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

There is no value in the Nobel Peace Prize any longer. Any future awardee or nominee should reject it. If I had one I'd send it back. The nature of right-wing politics is to take good things and make them shit.

The USA is a rogue state. Trump is a felon who poses a clear and present threat to global peace. He must be removed, and all nations place sanctions on the USA. Of course, this won't happen, because oil and money.

We need to be absolutely clear about the human cost of this policy. More ambulances stuck outside A&Es. More patients dying in hospital corridors. More suffering. More misery. More patient harm. Because Starmer has chosen to prioritise cheap headlines above improving society. Way to go, Labour.
