Things move quickly in politics. The idea of a Sunday broadsheet dedicating it's entire front page to @greenparty.org.uk is huge, and let's be honest, a sign of changing times.

People are sitting up and noticing @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Farage and Reform are quislings - shilling for Russia, but their voters are too thick to realise it.
Or for Brexit?
Farage was its biggest British champion. Putin - its Russian one.
Yakovenko, (Russian ambassador to the UK) boasted after the Brexit vote: “We have crushed the British to the ground. They are on their knees, and they will not rise for a very long time"

This focuses on politics. But we should also care about *outcomes*.

In the UK, migrants (both from EU and elsewhere) are more likely to have a job than the UK born. In Denmark, there's a gap of 15-20%. Similarly for education outcomes.

Why would we want to copy that?
After more than 10 years of “the Danish Model”, nativism is hegemonic in the country, the far right polls near level highs again, and the Social Democrats lost Copenhagen and poll at historic low.

European Social Democrats should look at the facts, not the myths!

I’d have thought nothing cuts more against our precious British values than selling out your country for Russian bribes…

And yet Reform, the right‑wing press, and all those self‑styled guardians of these values have nothing to say

…funny that.

Yet another unique way to stimulate cellular immunity against cancer.

“Using the gut immune system to induce cellular immunity is a unique approach,” Shirakawa notes. “And it should be very easy to extend it to other antigen proteins and also infectious diseases.”

He's the only one denying it, which means just one thing. He is a liar

It’s heartening to see them finally doing the things they should have done 18mths ago, but when they do it “to stop a leadership bid” and not because it will improve people’s lives or it is the right thing to do, you know they are heartless, self-serving 🤬🤬🤬🤬

No mention of the #CovidInquiry report this week?

Instead of bashing Labour relentlessly, ask Hunt and Stride about their party's crimes in office and the 23,000 resulting deaths they caused.
