Chris Murphy on possible military strikes on Venezuela: "It's pretty clear it's just an effort to distract people from the rising prices and the Epstein scandal. No one wants a war with Venezuela ... and by the way, it's wildly illegal."

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

It's a sad state of affairs that this is the first year where my wife, a military brat whose father was a Colonel, and myself, former foreign correspondent, have felt emotionally uncomfortable attending a Remembrance Day service. All because of extreme nationalism of those who've weaponised the flag

Every candidate that Trump endorsed on Lie Social last night lost!
He claims the losses were because his name wasn't on the ballot, but this disaster for the GOP has King Donald the Mad's fingerprints all over it.

So, Farage, in the same breath, has stated that:
Minimum wage should be cut for young people (currently at £10 an hour - oh the largesse!)
And
Young people earning over £100k a year should get tax cuts.
That tells you just about everything you need to know about where his priorities lie.
