The Observer view on SUVs: they are too dangerous and too big, their drivers should be made to pay
If a car generates more potholes, takes up more space and poses more risk, it is only fair that its owner pays more

Desperate to stay in Trump’s favour, Farage grovels before extremists, refusing to back Ukraine and selling out Britain in the process. He’s a fool, a traitor, pledging allegiance to a foreign demagogue while pretending to care about sovereignty. Pathetic, spineless, and utterly disgraceful.

The country as a whole has a centre left leaning. Why do these idiots feel they need to always appease the right.
We’ve been crying out for slightly left politics for years and yet here we are drifting aimlessly in the wrong direction.
