Just a reminder that the Tories were more than happy for Johnson to appoint Lebedev to the Lords against the advice of the security services. Consequences? Zero, of course. But its always been one rule for them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-poli...

Just a quick note to @greenparty.org.uk and @greenpartyhan.bsky.social - I was not consulted on being quoted on your leaflets and I have not endorsed your campaign (or any campaign in this seat). I think this note, like the bar chart next to it, is misleading and out of context.

I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.
You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity

New — I spoke to eight people who were present at the ICE protest on Saturday in Portland, Oregon when federal agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of families, children, elderly and disabled people, and their pets.
These are their stories:

The US security implications of a collapse of the US/European alliance – even a partial one – are hard to list briefly. It would *hugely* curtail the USA’s military and intelligence capabilities.
It would hurt Europe more, sure. But it would be catastrophic for the US too.
