Our current system of funding is anti-democratic – those with big money have more say than the simple vote we all have. A cap on donations would be a step in the right direction – the end game should be publicly funded politics. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Every creature leaves a mark on the Earth. And humans? We leave behind plastic bottles, packaging, containers, and trash. The saddest part is that we are the only species that understands the damage—yet we keep doing it. Our footprint should be one of responsibility, not pollution.

Even if we ignore the economic self-harm (as 52% did a decade ago - Brexit says hi), try this: put yourself in the shoes of someone who’s spent most of their adult life in the UK. If you’ve built your life here, paid in, contributed - how do you feel hearing “Island of Strangers” travesty?

My View
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown

Extract 

Farage's finances are deeply revealing
Reform UK leader has ushered in a new era of politics
In times to come, British politicians, historians and voters will try to figure out how, in the first quarter of the 21st century, Nigel Farage became one of the most
›powerful operators on these isles.
How did he lure and captivate so many? Why did they not question his fibs and postures?
This chap was born into a wealthy family, attended a private school, was a city trader, wears fine suits,
belongs to the most excuisive of London clubs, and socialises with millionaires and powerful elites.
But Martha, 65, a neighbour who worked for years as a shop assistant, and is a former Tory but now Reform voter, tells me: "He cares about working people. He will make this country great again." Such devotion, such faith in one so unworthy, It does my head in.
Farage gives off the appearance of a spiv - defined in most dictionaries as a flashy, shady dealer. He dresses ostentatiously and plays the political system. His well-practised grins and glasses of ale, his choreographed moments of patriotic fervour and emotionally-charged nationalism, and various
other manipulations have created an avatar. The real Mr Farage is a grubby, shameless distorter of truths, a dissembler who ducks accountability.
As the former Green leader, Caroline Lucas recently wrote about his part in getting the Brexit vote through: "There is a particular kind of audacity required to spend decades dismantling something then point to the rubble and declare it someone else's fault. Nigel Farage has that audacity in spades. He has built an entire political career on it."

That doesn’t just affect one appointment — it changes the culture. And cultures built on that logic don’t stabilise; they decay. Finally, the “genius move” argument assumes a level of control that just isn’t real — especially with someone like Donald Trump, who

Sending a ‘snake into a snake pit’ isn’t a strategy – it's starting from weakness. Shared scandal doesn’t create leverage; it creates mutual vulnerability. And once you normalise appointing compromised people because they’re ‘useful’, you’re not being clever – you're eroding the system.
