Very disappointed that the Green Party conference has voted for this. I suspect the majority of the party doesn't support it. It's poor electoral strategy, and distracts from the Greens' core messages on environment. It's also just wrong. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I don't understand why a crime as serious as gang rape was not dealt with through the state police and judicial system, but was left to the university's internal disciplinary system to deal with. They are not on diplomatic territory like an Embassy. This is just another place in America.

Our relationship with cars is changing. Steadily we are going to be using them less in future. Why not start now? Don't wait till you're 100% ready, as that may never happen. We always feel a need for one if we already have one. But we'll adapt soon enough if we take the plunge.

Richard Murphy explains here why there is no such thing as taxpayers' money. This is important because the consequence is that the government and households are not similar entities when it comes to economic behaviour.

Putin is shifting the rhetoric towards justification for attacking the Baltic states. He did this before he attacked Ukraine in 2014. It takes time to soften up the hard lines between right and wrong, and this is his way.

It's really important to understand that Soviet and Russian interference in Europe is not just invasion, though that is the most serious. Under occupation mass deportations have occurred throughout, including today, with mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children and relocation to Russia, for example.

Interesting analysis of Russian military setbacks and commanders' use of AI to claim victories. False reporting will inevitably undermine the overall effort, and Russia's tyrannical regime has long fostered internal false reporting. I don't know the source, but this video seems accurate.
