We make conscious economic decisions every day, even in the corner shop. Let’s concentrate on millions of small, individual acts. Changed habits get noticed by others. Leave the fossil fuel criminals wondering where their profits went.

Seriously. I do think being in a place where $ is not the primary concern is a place of privilege, but absolutely—we need to consider the whole situation and stop acting like planetary collapse is no big deal.

If it's true, if the US is willing to allow borders to be redrawn by force and let aggressors be rewarded, then the gates of hell are about to be opened.
This may prove to be the single most destabilizing and conflict-spawning decision of the 21st century.

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

I listened to a talk today, from an industry insider, about how sales of printed papers have collapsed. Sorry, Flappergob, you wasted £700k of Russia’s money there.
When your past finally catches up, what do you do? What do you do?
When the record shows you voted against every measure meant to help working people—what do you do? What do you do?
When stories about your ties to Russia won’t disappear, what do you do? What do you do?🤨👇

As political scandals go, a grubby backroom deal to, errrr, lift 450,000 children out of poverty is at least a novel one.
Headline on The World at One just now:
"Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap".
Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?
