Nigel Farage told us Brexit would give
Β£3 billion more a year to our NHS

He now says Britain is so broke,
our NHS needs to be scrapped
replaced by US-style healthcare insurance
bankrupting thousands, leaving thousands more to die

He lied before
He hasn't apologised
He's still lying

Reaching net zero by 2050 β€˜cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.

Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

When an illegal war, likely to cause mass murder, is launched, we have a choice of 2 positions:
1. It's wrong and has to stop.
2. Hurray! Let's join in.

Much of the UK Establishment - Conservatives, Reform, the billionaire media - went straight for Option 2.
Which tells you all you need to know.

I want to make sure I'm understanding correctly:

If Iran sinks a ship in the strait - after they are attacked by israel and the US -- they're terrorists

But when the United States blows up ships with missiles in the Caribbean -- its all good and they're 'making America great again'

At the most basic level of 'have some self-respect', Conservative MPs should not put forward someone who visibly is not intellectually equipped to be prime minister as their candidate to be prime minister.

Trump lies daily. The Americans dropped a bomb on children in Iran. He does not care about the welfare of children, especially non American children. Look how ICE treat youngsters. He is a monster just like his buddy Netanyahu.
