Time for Greens to vote tactically. If Greens don’t vote for the 🌹 candidate. They will have elected a Deform UK stooge. The same guy who claimed over 50% of social housing in London went to people who weren’t British. Which was utter bollocks.

India's drop in Russian oil purchases appears to be permanent.
2 major state-owned refineries, Indian Oil and Bharat Petroleum, are replacing Russian oil with oil from Middle Eastern, African, and South American countries.
This will have a big impact on Russian war funding.

Similar to whenever there's a plane crash, I see people scared about riding trains. A reminder that the reason why there's so much noise and spectacle about this accident it's because it's exceedingly rare. Traveling by train is safer than doing so by car, by quite a margin.

I completely agree about Palantir, but you do not put a negotiating point into a public statement; he is not an American, so he isn't a bloody idiot.
