I hear the doubts. I hear the anger. I hear the voices saying, Why should I fight for a country that has failed me? That has made it too hard to earn a good living, to buy a home, to feel like the promises of the past still mean anything.

It's alright @mrjamesob.bsky.social I thought Starmer did good but after that appalling treatment towards Zelenskyy earlier, the UK should now rescind the second state visit offer and stand firmly with Europe and Ukraine. No more playing both sides, we need to choose and we need to choose Europe.

What Europe should do RIGHT NOW: Make it extremely easy for US scientists to get long-term visa, create as many additional research jobs in key areas as possible, create new, generous science and research funds. People are losing their jobs over there NOW. Let‘s welcome them.

It's obviously more complex than a message on here but as an argument for legalising drugs @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social a strong argument to legalise some drugs in The Lancet, or flip it to say make alcohol illegal. Great show, as always

Kemi's speech @mrjamesob.bsky.social simply pulls on emotions (fear; anger, definance) and this hyperbole will stir a sub-group to be unhappy and want change. It's poor rabble rousing James, provoke emotions and plant the seed of anger/distrust in the status quo

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.
It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.

This is what should be on every front page in 150 point banner headlines. All I have is this Substack but I lay it beneath your feet and pray to a higher power that I'm wrong.

Again, nobody is coming to save us. It’s up to all of us. WE ALL MUST GET INVOLVED.

Renewable electricity production is the cheapest. Yet the price consumers pay is linked to fossil fuel production prices.
Uncouple those. Let people see the real benefits of renewable energy with the option of cheaper bills and then turbo charge the greenification of our energy
