Co-operatives have long helped to rebuild communities following conflict – but there's more they can do. Ask your MP to write to the new International Development Minister and recognise the power of co-operation in building a more peaceful world. party.coop/campaign/pea...

Is the War on Christmas still a thing? We talked to three scowling retirees at a Bill O'Reilly book signing in Pompano Beach.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.
