This will come back to bite the progressive left. They never learn.
“Marine Le Pen, the French far-right leader, was found guilty of embezzlement by a criminal court in Paris on Monday and immediately barred from running for public office for five years.”

Marine Le Pen Barred From French Presidential Run After Embezzlement Ruling
The sentence made the far-right leader ineligible for five years, excluding her from the 2027 election unless she can secure a more favorable outcome on appeal.

Farming is a public good. Yes there are many rich landowners and farmers with huge wealth, but that doesn't mean blunt and crude class warfare will help anyone. It's shocking to see so many liberal journalists being so dismissive of the protests today

Hate it when Andrew Bailey pipes up. I'll always remember him saying it's up to British workers to accept low wages in order to bring down inflation

This was a brilliant exchange on the BBC today. Lisa Nandy vs. a farmer genuinely fearing for his livelihood. Labour aren't quite ready for the political earthquake that farmers' strikes will cause.
The farmer later said to Nandy, don't do to us what Thatcher did to the miners. Ouch.

This is quite the clip of Reagan and Bush debating in the 1980 Republican primary about immigration. Reagan says “we need to open the [Mexican] border both ways” rather than “putting up a fence.” Bush makes similar comments. Both would be laughed out of the GOP today. youtu.be/YsmgPp_nlok?...

'Friends' and 'enemies'. This Cold War mindset will worsen relations, not improve them. It's as if liberals are intent on a huge global conflict without any willingness to fight it themselves
‘Vladimir Putin is still the enemy, and shows no sign of losing; but more and more, the war itself, the instrument that was supposed to deliver Ukraine from Putin’s cruelty, is the enemy too.’

Great scoop on Sadiq Khan's mind-blowingly awful plans (now scrapped) to charge motorists by the mile in London
