Feeling utterly despondent today. How do I reassure my 17 year old daughter who is quite honestly terrified of the future?

"Farage has given two contradictory versions of the purchase. One that he bought it and the other that his girlfriend owns it. If the second is correct then he has engineered a massive saving on stamp duty, larger than the one that forced Angela Rayner to resign." www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...
'Hypocrite' Nigel Farage didn't pay £44k stamp duty then blasted Angela Rayner
Last year Nigel Farage announced he had bought a house in Clacton, Essex, but in fact it was his partner Laure Ferrari, 46, who shelled out almost £900,000 for the property

Farage deliberately avoids stamp duty by putting his constituency home in his partner's name.
Also avoids full tax on his GBNews earnings...

How do #bbcnews journalists feel at the moment? Are they uncomfortable? Do they feel that THIS is what they wanted to do? Do they think they are unbiased? Are they afraid? Do they care? Genuinely interested.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations
When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Why are the press even reporting on the nonsense emanating from a racist fringe party that can't even keep a handful of MPs and councillors on board? I'd like to know about what the Greens and Lib Dems are proposing as policies please.

Mainstream radio presenters like Vanessa Feltz are perfectly happy to contribute, in their own small way, to the rise of the extreme far right.
Her interview with me on LBC just now was chock full of lies. Calls herself a journalist.
Really I wonder how they sleep at night.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Success – an important win for nature! 🐝
Today, the UK Government made the only sensible choice - listening to the science and upholding the ban on neonicotinoids.
This pesticide doesn’t belong in our countryside. Farmers now need support to adopt nature-friendly alternatives.

Just 1 teaspoon of neonicotinoids can kill 1.25 BILLION bees.
Yesterday, over 1 million voices told the UK Government: stop allowing banned pesticides in our countryside.
DEFRA, it’s time to end ‘emergency’ use.
Protect pollinators vital to nature's recovery & our food security.
