I don't think Putin can afford to admit that the war hasn't been a mistake&stop the war he cannot win.This’ll mean the end of his power.He needs a war that lasts- lasts until the end of his life

Is Putin ready to stop the war?That is the wrong question
The right question is:Can Putin stop the war?⤵️

I don't. I care about those that can be reasoned with and that's a decent chunk of voters.
The "middle ground" seems very disenfranchised and we've been making excellent progress there.
People like my family that are largely decent, but get swayed by "drugs bad".

At the age of almost 50, I've never met a Sikh that hasn't been a decent person.

My worry is that this gives hand-wringers/right-wingers an easy in to cak on the great work being done and it may be a misstep.
We DO absolutely need adult conversations about this, but we Greens need some measurable and public success(es) first ("power") I feel.

I'm certainly for *more* freedom, not less.
There needs to be support hand in hand with use/addiction and I wouldn't trust any company to manage supply whatsoever.
We first need a healthier NHS and Social Services and *then* address this.
I'm for decriminalisation for users.

Fuuuu... through destruction there can be rebirth, but we need to do the destruction first.

Not just the anti-immigrants inability to pass, how many MP's could pass it?

"Sorry" if that's prejudicial towards Reform and what's left of the Tories 😂

Right-wing authoritarian populism is gaining sway around the world, across Europe and in the UK, such as Farage’s latest pop-up populist party Reform. The Kremlin seeks to leverage populism and finances extremist movements, politicians and contrarians. youtu.be/d9GrMaZ6eR0

Boris Johnson, "I tried to get the scientists to say that lockdown was a bad idea"

*they all laugh*

There were 26,000 covid deaths because Boris Johnson ignored scientists and delayed the first lockdown by a week

"The first-of-its-kind study shows that the world’s biggest oil and gas companies contribute less than 1.5% to global renewable energy — contradicting industry claims to be pioneers in the energy transition."

Study: Oil companies are not ‘part of the solution’

New research in the journal Nature reveals oil and gas companies own a “marginal” share of global renewable capacity, years after claiming they would lead the energy transition.
