Farage is a two faced lying toad! I AND OTHER WITH COMMON SENSE said at the time it was wrong. WE had more than enough information. The thieving lying corrupt elite did not. To now crawl out from under their slimy rocks to distance themselves from another slime bag wont wash!
It seems Nigel 'Hitler was right' Farage is trying to compete with Keir Starmer for making U-turns

Labour's dark soul has been exposed.
Why does it refuse to confront wealthy elites - even though that's popular?
For two reasons: ideology and money.

Starmer has little to offer voters of either right or left in Gorton and Denton. That’s why he’s facing a perfect storm | Owen Jones
The Greens are buoyant as Labour struggles. After shredding any semblance of a progressive agenda, fear of Reform is all the PM’s party has left, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

It’s very cold -17°C.
Hopefully there’s no strong wind.

Epstein Files:
Amorality implies awareness without care.
What these records reveal is something worse: moral nullification - as if the people harmed don’t matter.
That’s what makes the files so chilling.
Not the revelations themselves, but how ordinary the abuse appears to those at the top.🤮

Your bravery speaks volums!
Today feels like a small holiday.
I honestly can’t remember the last time
We had so many hours of electricity in a row
My mood is light
I finally have time to do all the basic,
Ordinary things - without haste,
Without counting minutes.
And for once, I’m not surviving.
I’m just living this day.
