The fact that Reform want people to have more kids and also want to end working from home shows how incoherent their world view is.

The UK was declared measles free in 2017.

It doesn’t really matter *why* Trump’s desire to destabilise & divide Europe precisely mirrors Vladimir Putin’s - whether kompromat, self-interest, naked bigotry or something else l. What matters is that Europe treats both regimes like the enemies of progress & democracy they so clearly are.
