Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Climate change is already damaging the nature, beauty and heritage we care for. Without deep and sustained cuts to emissions, nature faces an even more perilous future and the places people love will continue to suffer.

UK passport holders can live and work in Ireland with no minimum £savings requirement or funding.

Note: Healthcare is still free.

If you can show proof of living in Ireland for 5 years you can then apply for naturalisation and get an Irish (EU) passport.

Are you trans, want to escape the UK, but only have a British passport?
You can live in Ireland and get an Irish (EU) passport by naturalisation. No visa needed!

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 16d

I’m deeply concerned about recent racist attacks in our capital city.

From the TfL workers being punched and racially abused to women who were chased down the street - I’m deeply concerned about the alarming rise of racist attacks in our capital city.

We are also seeing appalling incidents elsewhere in the country - some of which have included abhorrent violence towards children.

These incidents illustrate the dangers of allowing racism to be normalised and mainstreamed. Real lives and personal safety are under threat.

I will continue to speak out against racial inequalities and injustices, as well as providing support to organisations working to support our communities and bring people together.

London is a successful, liberal and multicultural city. The greatest in the world. It will always be for everyone and I promise you: that will never change.

MAYOR OF LONDON, SADIQ KHAN
