This 'correction' from @lewisgoodall.com regarding accusations from Reform and the Conservatives that the Greens engaged in sectarianism, deserves to be widely read.

Britain no longer feeds itself from its own seas.
The UK is now heavily dependent on imported seafood, with official trade statistics showing imports far exceed domestic landings, according to Seafish trade data.
The flags do nothing for me, but many enjoy them so fair enough. There's much in modern football fandom that leaves me cold, but then I am an old fecker. I do wish they'd knock the blaring techno music on the head though.

and the £10s of thousands Mandelson’s husband received from Epstein in 2009/10
plus free flights & mansion stays
There were three MUFC fans sat behind us at the south end of the East Stand last night.
35, 36 & 37 in Row 60.
They kept shtum until the goal. It got heated but it was diffused by the sensible intervention of folk around them.
How did they get their tickets?

I could add almost all the Covid profiteers; the estate owners granted legal immunity for the wildlife crimes their gamekeepers commit (by an estate owner!); the protesting farmers who can shut down the motorway network while green protesters are banged up for marching down the street ... etc etc

But while the City of London acts as laundromat for the world's dirty money, as almost all fraud and waste crime go unprosecuted, as no one has gone to jail for the financial crash or the poisoning of our rivers, this is manifestly untrue.

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence
These are the foundations of real freedom.
Not ashamed to say I fell asleep an hour into this last night. It wasn't bad I was just tired and I have a heavy cold. My wife accused me of falling asleep on purpose to prove a point (I wanted to watch Primate) but I'm not that petty.

“Claims”?
Asked which world leader he admires the most, Farage said in 2014: “As an operator, but not as a human being, I would say Putin.”
In 2022 he suggested on X the invasion was “a consequence of EU and NATO expansion.”
The BBC has got to do better than this.
