Both the Greens and Reform are soft on Putin and soft on NATO.
The greens want to pull out of NATO and Reform’s Leader says Putin is the leader he admires the most.
Labour takes a different approach: a NATO-first strategy, increasing defence spending and renewing our forces.

Al Carns knocked on my door in 2024. When he asked who I would vote for in a future election, I told him Green.
He couldn't hide his contempt when he belittled my views rather than engage me.

Trump having a 37% approval rating is part of the reason I have no interest in visiting that fascist state, even after he (hopefully) leaves office. He isn't a one off or unique. He is a manifestation of the underlying condition.
Pew Research - Trump’s approval rating stands at 37%, down from 40% in the fall.
By more than two-to-one, Americans say the administration’s actions have been worse than they expected (50%) rather than better (21%).

Confidence in Trump Dips, and Fewer Now Say They Support His Policies and Plans

Calls for King Charles to formally apologise for slavery after research shows crown’s role
Book The Crown’s Silence details how crown profited from and protected trade in enslaved African people for centuries
MPs, experts and campaigners have called on King Charles to make a formal apology for transatlantic slavery, after research highlighted how the British crown and Royal Navy extended and protected the trade in enslaved African people for hundreds of years.
The king has previously expressed “personal sorrow” at the suffering caused by slavery and has spoken of committing to “finding creative ways to right inequalities that endure”. However, the British crown has never issued a formal apology. Continue reading...

Reported a fake football shirt on Vinted. Like, badge doesn't even have the right symbol on it fake. Used their specific category of it being fake.
Had a response an hour later to say they haven't found an issue and can't take any action.
So it's a pointless report category then?

Not good enough there from Martinelli in what he did to Bradley. I don’t like to see that.
But Gary Neville saying live on Sky with millions watching that a Liverpool player should have gone and hit him and taken a red card is absolutely outrageous.

Never seen a manager so clearly out of his depth as Nancy at Celtic. Looks like he's lost faith already.

Last night, I went to the local 'posh' pub to meet a mate. His pint of cask ale was awful. He said it would put him off going to that pub ever again. There are so many variables around cask ale that it can be hard to get a sense of its *overall* health. [Ray]

So Labour can moan about Greens being unrealistic as much as they want, but who is the bigger fantasist: the people who know the house is on fire and something radical is needed? Or the people saying "this is fine" as the roof falls in?
