I'm hoping that when I leave this world, it will be a better place for my grandchildren and generations to come. Return NHS to being the envy of the world.

On the one hand, anything to distract from reports of his increasingly well-documented, lifelong racism.
On the other, if he's told some donors this (& the FT will have sourced this properly) you can be sure that he'd've told others the polar opposite if he thought that's what they wanted to hear.

Two houses on the same street, both with drives.
Yet just one of them reduces flood risk, retards heatwaves, and lights up the neighbourhood with welcoming greenery.
We’ve lost millions of front gardens to overpaving in recent decades. We need to reverse that trend urgently.

Portugal legalised drug use in 2000.
Since then drug deaths, crime, addiction and imprisonment have all decreased.
It is people like Carole Malone who are killing people with their war on drugs nonsense.
It has been 50 years, it doesn't work.

If PM had intervened Badenoch would be complaining that the independence of the DPP had been compromised. PM did absolutely the right thing. Case collapsed precisely as he explained - on the Tories watch, because of their failure to update legislation. LoTO should be apologising. Not doubling down.

Carole Cadwalladr was right and we’d be in a better world if more people had listened.
This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.
If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐
There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.
Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?
