If we lived in a state where virtue was profitable, common sense would make us saintly.
But since we see that avarice, anger, pride and stupidity commonly profit far beyond charity, modesty, justice and thought, perhaps we must stand fast a little, even at the risk of being heroes

Nigel Farage promised Brexit would help you.
Nigel Farage stood down 319 Reform candidates to help Boris deliver THIS SPECIFIC version of Brexit.
So if he's convinced you to blame other people for the fact that this Brexit hasn't helped you...
You're as thick as frozen shit.

Not sure why John has made up that I have a "first preference."
In fact I've repeatedly said - including to the Independent - it's not my role to pick the future Labour leader.
I'm focused on growing the Green Party.

Iran saw major unrest overnight. Protesters torched buildings in Tehran and Karaj, Mashhad’s TV station was seized, and monarchist chants echoed in Deylam. Death tolls are rising as the regime cracks down hard, but protests are spreading, from Yazd to Shiraz to Bandar Abbas.

If you are still willing to holiday in the USA, go to the #FIFA World Cup or #IOC Olympic Games, you are not only supporting a regime who is actively seeking to harm non-citizens, but one which is so intent on doing them harm that they will happily murder their own citizens if they get in the way

The Kremlin has long dreamt of disrupting NATO, and Krasnov seems eager to please!
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has said that an attack on Greenland would end NATO. This is not an exaggeration.
US intentions towards Greenland threaten NATO’s future. But European countries are not helpless
US threats to annex Greenland following the attack on Venezuela should be taken seriously. European countries have important leverage they should be prepared to use.
