It is great to see the groundswell of support for politics of hope from the Green Party in the UK plus other progressives in New York and Netherlands.
Let's hope it catches fire around the world.

Wasn't his first act (once he'd finished his homework) to spend money hiring people to do his actual job?

The election result in the Netherlands, the rise of Mamdani in New York and the surge of the Green Party's fortunes in the UK all show that there is an appetite for the politics of hope.
Like minded politicians must deliver a vision of a better world rather than division and a race to the bottom.

For people who wonder what the point of this guy is, he's a cautionary tale warning against the abuse of narcotics.

Kids, don't be like Elon.

A strange choice of country to move to for someone who largely made a living spreading hostile lies against Islam.

Do you know what qualifies it as hand made? Somewhere during the cooking cycle a man stirs a bath if crisps in hot oil with a paddle.

I wonder if we will see similar scenes with placards saying "I voted for AOC" in November.

So he's going to the Tories where he still won't be helping ordinary people, but at least he'll be able to fill his own pockets?

Imagine coming out of that interview thinking that you nailed it. (Unless you were Emily Maitlis, in which case you did)

She is absolutely right that it isn't the same. What Reeves did wouldn't normally be punishable by a prison sentence.

A lot of praise for Charles for doing something he should have done years ago. It always requires extreme pressure to get them to do the decent thing, rather than close ranks.

Good point although I am genuinely not sure where that would stand as an actual criminal offence. It probably breaks a law but I am not sure which one.

Because of the difference in the age of consent between UK and USA, I can't see how UK police can investigate.

Whether we could extradite to the US is probably a similarly complex matter

Yes but apparently one day a brown person once walked up her street.

The horror!........

I am sure that doesn't happen where she lives now

We were told it would take an act of parliament to remove his royal title. Apparently not true. Quelle surprise!
