The US attack on Venezuela is an illegal act of aggression against a sovereign country (with lots of oil). Venezuela has become a more deeply repressive dictatorship & urgently needs democratic solution but this is unjustified & unjustifiable. Look forward to seeing swift UK Government condemnation.

They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration.
It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.

"If you think everyone is lying, why not go with the lies you like rather than the lies you don't," is how I've tried to explain the appeal of Reform to cynical voters. Garbage like this from Labour and its outriders just creates the conditions for Reform to flourish.
Amazing interview attacking Polanski as a "fantasist" "selling unicorns".
But Polanski has not said "squeezing a tiny elite of billionaires will pay for everything that we want and everything that we need.” He has simply argued, as many tax economists do, for a wealth tax.
So who is the fantasist?
