I see the PM is being very rattled and very untruthful about the Greens again in the papers.
He couldn’t say this stuff in Parliament because he would be lying to the House - both about what our popular, evidence-based policies are, and about him believing this guff.

This is getting stupid now.
We're at the point where Labour acknowledge both the damage caused by Brexit AND that rejoining the Customs Union (more accurately, joining A Customs Union) would boost growth.
And yet they still reinforce their red lines.

The Deep State is a conspiracy theory.
I know we all find Truss amusing, but I find it deeply concerning that you've got an actual former Prime Minister even saying this stuff.

The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.
The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.
And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

As others have pointed out, the founders never foresaw a corrupt president (which we have) abusing the pardon power to absolve all criminals and miscreants for any reason, nor did our Daffy Duck Supreme Court ever think it might not be a good idea to put said president above the law.

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

The town of St Helens is just between Liverpool and Manchester. When I was a small child, in Liverpool, Mount St Helens, in Washington, erupted. Not having a grasp of geography, I spent two weeks in mortal fear of dying in a volcanic eruption before my dad set me straight.
