Headline should be: “Elon Musk and Trump in the USA and Keir Starmer in the UK killed children with aid cuts”
The number of global deaths of children under-5 is projected to increase this year (from 4.6m to 4.8m) for the first time this century. (FT)

Zack Polanski's position on NATO is so uncontroversial to the normal person the anger from media types about it, is laughable.
"Europe's defence shouldn't be focused around the whims of a mad tyrant and a nation who votes for that tyrant"
I promise that's an easy sell for most people.

Labour’s electoral problem is less the “rise” of the Greens and more that they have abandoned any and all moral principles in favour of mass deportation of immigrants, abolition of trial by jury and support for torture.
Many of us can no longer vote for the Omelas party.

Scottish Ministers' huge climate gamble with carbon capture is delusional. 🤯
Ministers are betting that this dodgy tech will cut equivalent of 1/3 of *all Scottish emissions* by 2040.
But right now there is no plant, no planning application & now the main developer is quitting.

A lot of sage nodding of heads by middle aged men in response to this concluding I have Starmer wrong and he's correct.
You have the same problem he does! You're immune to the suffering he's inflicted, willingly carried on from the Tories, so don't understand why the targets now viscerally hate him

Starmer wants criminal gangs to continue to run the drugs trade, using kids as buyers and sellers.
The Green party would take the drugs trade out of the criminal underworld, regulate it properly, and have full support from clinicians.

Labour seem to have reached the "we're going to lose our damages deposit, so we might as well wreck the place" stage of their tenure.
Keir Starmer's planning to make former First Minister Vaughan Gething a Lord according to The Times.
Mr Gething was FM for 4 months.
His time as leader was overshadowed by a controversial £200k donation to his leadership campaign.
He stepped down after 4 ministers resigned.
