Itโ€™s a sign of how far to the right British politics have been driven that the extremist idea of leaving the ECHR is now mainstream. The correct response by a journalist when a British politician says they want to leave the ECHR ought to be an incredulous: "Are you out of your tiny mind?"

Turkish and European MPs issue call for release of flotilla activists Dozens of activist from the Global Sumud Flotilla remain in Israeli detention, with their status unknown

Why hasnt Israel released all the Flotilla activists?

Given the guards behaviour towards released hostages we should be extremely worried about the welfare of anyone left behind In their charge!!

Greens aren't split as the only left of centre party listed, right of centre split between Tories, Starmer's Tories and Reform. LibDem being less bold and quiet in the centre ground.

Move to a country that doesn't accept immigrants.

Can you see a problem with this plan?

Certainly quite interesting.

If you want to learn more about the split between the Scottish greens and the greens in England and Wales. We discussed it here in this episode:

We also spoke to Zack Polanski afterwards too.

Labour were arrogant like this in Bristol and eventually wobbled into the LD's before the Greens took over.

Kahn plays Mr Nice Guy yet in spite of being a lawyer and founder of Liberty he won't call Starmer out for his abuse of trans people or anything else tbh.

I encourage you to listen to Greta Thunberg's full statement. Thunberg seeks a just and sustainable world for all, rather than short-term financial gain for the few. The West's political leaders are exposed as complicit, unprincipled or cowardly. End the occupation #SaveGaza #FreePalestine. #auspol

Wouldn't need the private sector then, eh?

When many Labour politicians have accepted donations from private health care companies, the last thing they want is for the NHS to work properly.

Doctors are going to go on Strike again.

Nearly 50% of Doctors who passed their Medical Degree in the last 3 years are unemployed in the UK.

It used to be 1-2%.

Yet Waiting Lists are at record highs and not going down.

Why aren't they employed?

Yes, and end to the exploitation of farmers by supermarkets as well. That's how the fighting inequality message applies to rural communities.
I saw an interesting panel last year that said those that work the land rather than merely own it know best what nature needs to recover.
