I was born on the other place in the binfire of Brexit 2016.
Tories - since Johnson - bring out the worst in me (or best depending on your perspective)
Lost my dad to Covid in Jan 2021. The worst time of my life. He followed all the rules. He left while Johnson partied. It rather defines me.

If the only way you'll ever hear someone call out Nigel Farage's destructive, divisive politics on the BBC is for me to do it, then so be it.
Watch @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk call out the BBC for their failure to hold Nigel Farage to account.

Fantastic piece of writing Bear.
In particular the paragraph starting "When a child with asthma.....not because they're profitable"
Quite.
There’s a myth doing the rounds about the founding of the NHS - and it’s doing so for a reason.

A brief history of the founding of the NHS and why commentators on the right are very keen on revising it.

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH

He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested

Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

“That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists—and that they both individually wield such massive power—is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.” Robert Reich

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

If Nigel Farage can't even hold this tiny group together, imagine what a disaster he would be in government.

Trump got pissed that Greenland signed a lucrative mineral deal with Europe, so now he’s proposing a 50% tariff on all imports from the European Union starting June 1.
