Let’s make different political choices.

For decades now British people have been told to simply swallow austerity. They’ve been told that the NHS needs cuts, that libraries need closing and that child poverty can’t be tackled.

Greens say: Bullshit!
Join the Green Party today.

He spent most of his previous term pestering European governments to massively increase their military spending (i.e. buying US-made weapons) to meet their NATO obligations. That alone should be disqualifying.

Fair play to the BoE, but "sudden correction" is probably a more diplomatic term than "digital beanie babies 4.0" deserves.

The rest of the world are already running their own aid projects. I support a UK-based charity feeding 3 million children every day in the world's poorest countries. Often in active war zones.

The US is the richest country in the world. They can afford to help more than anyone. Now, they don't.

For anyone in the Birmingham area curious about why we suddenly have flags hanging from every other street light in the city, it's not because of the English rugby team's recent victory in the Women's World Cup.

🚨 And here's Zdenek Vrozina's take on the same research:

"SARS-CoV-2 can create an oncogenic-like cellular environment - switching off tumor suppressors, activating growth pathways, reshaping epigenetic control, and fueling inflammatory metabolism..."

SARS-CoV-2 can create an oncogenic-like cellular environment - switching off tumor suppressors, activating growth pathways, reshaping epigenetic control, and fueling inflammatory metabolism.
If these effects persist, the virus could act as a cofactor in carcinogenesis🧵

This does explain how he got Skeletor. MOTU was in development hell for literal decades, mostly because no-one had enough faith in it to fully fund production.

I'm looking forward to the parts he isn't in.
