Happily retired. Life spent between Edinburgh, York and Cyprus. Detest all the hate speak and terrified of the rise of fascism. I have precious grandchildren and always conscious of the need to protect the world I'm leaving them.

"Make America Healthy Again" has never sounded so hollow. Hostility to vaccines from MAGA has already increased cases of measles. Trump's empty advice that children should receive separate jabs against measles, mumps & rubella will lead to less take-up - and more catastrophic outcomes for children.

Le Pen and Farage are old friends. They were both MEPs together. They took money from the EU, but did no work for it in return. Le Pen has since been convicted for embezzlement. It's time Farage's finances were put under the microscope too. #FarageOut

I'm struck by the fact that 27% with a 7% lead for Reform midterm was a massive victory and ringing endorsement but 34% with a 7% lead in the election for Labour was a loveless landslide.

"I see the Green vote as being ethnic minorities. Many who don’t speak English" - Nigel Farage to The Sun. The Greens are on 15-20% in the polls. Their national vote will be > 75% white British. It is significant for Farage to try to delegitimise both ethnic minorities & Green voters in this way

Remarkable how accepted the double standard is when it comes to attacking voters. The right can have senior leaders call progressive voters every name under the sun. If some left wing Twitch streamer so much as hints the right aren't all economically anxious saints, we get 150 op-eds about it.

I know it won't make any difference to his voters, who pay no attention to what's actually going on, and think foresight is for pussies and consequences can be wished away. But if Farage was PM, we'd now be in a moronic, illegal war he demanded we join 2 days ago, and now thinks is a disaster.
