Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it.
Yes, they might.
And he should wear it as a badge of honour.
Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet.
Where's the hazard in that?

The private family life of twice divorced Nigel Farage, who had children with both of his ex wives.... and now lives with his girlfriend.... is none of my business... just as the private family lives of everyone else are none of his.
Nigel Farage:

"Children who have two stable parents have a better chance in life... The most stable relationships, the ones that last the longest, tend to be between men & women... There's an awful lot of kids in the country not getting the kind of start... they deserve."

Farage has two ex-wives.

I’ve often wondered why Nigel Farage, who as godfather of the Brexit fiasco engineered the biggest British foreign policy disaster since Suez is continually offered so much space in some newspapers and broadcast media. Serious question. Thoughts welcome.

The #Brexit disaster cannot be swept under the carpet much longer

It has not just cost us £100bns and fractured our society, it is potentially costing lives too

Rejoining the SM & CU is a no-brainer even for leave voters (most of whom have changed their minds)

Another brilliant Brexit benefit! Keir Starmer & Rachel Reeves: you want growth? Take us back into the EU! Everyone can see that Brexit has been a colossal failure, plus a majority of the UK now want us back in the EU. Have some guts, the country will thank you.

Kemi Badenoch admitted that she hacked Harriet Harman’s website in 2008.
Badenoch confessed to the hack, which carried a jail sentence of up to five years at the time she acted, in response to a question about the “naughtiest” thing she had done.

WILL SHE DO THE HONOURABLE THING AND RESIGN ??

If you allow billionaires to have their way, they take control of the media, refuse to pay taxes and keep wages very low so that they can maximise their profits. To protect their interests, they will also restrict freedom of speech and undermine democracy.
Prevent this by limiting their power.
