You have two types of Political Party in the UK.
"Lets tax the rich and make things better for everyone."
Or
"Lets blame Immigrants, Disabled People and Pensioners so we can get in a party who will make the billionaires even richer and things worse for everyone else."

Very good newsletter from @iainmartin1.bsky.social today - he is right Europe needs to stick together like glue. This will have to become defence and so much more. Time for British leaders to stand up and say only defence in our geography matters now. Defence means our youth nee to unite

At first glance, a quintessentially beautiful Irish landscape.
But in reality, it's a deadzone. The graveyard of a once species-rich Atlantic rainforest wonderland, smothered under sheep and, in the distance, sitka.
We are, however, waking to just how much has been stolen from us.

Still internalising the Vance Munich speech. A sitting Vice President goes to Europe, barely says a word about the despotic murderous regime which has invaded its neighbour, and instead lectures his allies about freedom of speech. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.
