My letter to Labour stating my resignation from the party bounced as it went to an address that was not monitored.

I added a further line and posted to the correct address.

I do not expect a response.

Green Party level with the Labour Party for the first time.

Let’s see if the media give the Greens as much coverage as they gave Farage when he didn’t even have MPs.

Why is there not a method to force a blatantly corrupt government out of office.

This will be essential reading. I hope the pressure on the Royal family is intense.

The polar opposite of what drives most media coverage of the issue.

There is no need for a moral panic about the UK's welfare system.

Far from perfect but recent discourse is nuts

Spending is controlled, not spiralling

Worklessness is near record lows

Anyone who believed for even a millisecond, that Mone and her husband would pay the fine need psychiatric assistance.

That is not how the law works for wealthy people.

The day will arrive when the world will be aware of how much corruption this individual is involved in.

It will be shortly after his death.

Utter madness. Take it too it’s obvious conclusion will mean every driver cab and taxi driver plus every van driver will be potentially made unemployed in order to make a handful of super rich investors more wealthy.

The journalist gave the subject the answer in asking the question.

You couldn’t ask a question in this way in a courtroom.

Jeffries: "I remind all of these corrupt individuals, these sycophants -- the statute of limitations is five years. The American people want accountability.

I will create the illusion that action will be taken until the clock runs out.

I will then collect my 30 pieces of silver.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Friendly reminder: "I was just following orders" didn't protect those who faced the Nuremberg trials who had once dragged crying women and children from their homes from the consequences of their actions.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing
