... It's also the Greens' fight – and they've proved they can beat Reform without pandering to them.

When his aircraft landed at Halifax, Nova Scotia, President Zelenskyy was met by Prime Minister Mark Carney – the head of government of Canada. When he landed at Miami, Florida, not a single U.S. official met Zelenskyy. Canada is Ukraine's ally. The U.S. is Russia's proxy.

Got mine installed 2 weeks ago. And can already see the difference in daily costs! Not enough solar energy to fully charge the battery so still using from the grid. But even so, and with the heating on, daily costs are £1+ down.

This, from Lewis Goodall, is bang on the mark.
On the same day, The Observer reported that ministers had decided they didn’t want to face the accusation from Farage that the “establishment” was trying to rig things against him. All of these arguments are classic examples of Labour bedwetting.
Do we think for a moment, that if an equivalent foreign backer, say Bill Gates, was proposing a game-changing donation to Labour, that the Conservatives or Reform would not change the rules at pace? This is how populists win. They don’t observe norms and rules, while established players do, indeed they fret about them. Moreover, Farage will always claim that the establishment is trying to rig things against him – he’s made a career out of it.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

If Labour lurches to the right in a desperate bid to try to court Reform voters, it simply reinforces Reform’s message, while top-down technocratic approaches also fail to inspire. Taxing the wealthy & building community resilience will make a real difference to people’s lives - & be popular 7/7

Five years on, even many of those who still champion Brexit, including Nigel Farage, concede that it has "failed" - so why are the main parties afraid to tell voters they got it wrong?

In no other area would 50k avoidable deaths not be billed as a national emergency. This situation has been hideously normalised and, in some ways, accepted, by various govts. Acute care should've been the priority for govt to address & here's the cold hard proof www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01...

Here's Reeve's quote. It's unacceptable for three reasons: 1. No progressive politician should agree with a fascist like Trump on ANYTHING. 2. The Tory Brexiters tried "Boosterism" for 8 years. It failed because of Brexit, just like now. 3. The EU sold Britain very effectively when we were a member.

Great points from SNP MP Seamus Logan. Scotland produces more electricity than we use & does it in the cheapest way possible – renewables. Yet the price of electricity is pegged to the most expensive way of producing it – burning gas. We could have free power at times if London changed this rule.
