Governments mustn’t be able to proscribe, with scant evidence, any old group as a terrorist org.
There are real consequences to being proscribed. This was a serious overreach by the Home Sec. Seriously dented my opinion of Evette Cooper.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

However, the likes of Dyson & Ratcliffe are partly responsible. I question their patriotism and logic - their opinions count for zero.

The IOC has a history of poor decisions - I suspect this will go down as one of their worst.
It’s a shame everyone else will still compete. The IOC would be backed into a corner if everyone refused to race in support of Ukraine.

If the Greens go into the next election with a policy to rejoin the EU, I’m voting for them and I’m certain millions like me would too.
The idea that we have to wait, or it’s somehow “not serious politics” to believe we can rejoin is utter bollocks - political stupidity if the first order.
