If you enjoyed the Accidental Tour-ist, then perhaps you might put your ballot paper in the digital box? I'd be enormously grateful. I mean, there's bigger things in the word than this. But the really teeny tiny things also matter (to me).

Huge congratulations to Zohran Mamdani on his election as Mayor of New York City from all of us at the Green Party! 🎉💚

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Farage/Reform sell themselves as the protectors of women, they aren't, "two in five arrested for last summer’s UK riots had been reported for domestic abuse", his own nephew a convicted sexual offender. Farage and Reform are misogynists who have no respect for women.

Also shows how poorly educated 27% of the UK electorate are.

GOP are political eunuchs. Trumpelthinskin will do what he wants anyway.

Zinger!!!!

I like that 👍

I really like him and hope Ineos give him the right opportunities to shine. I’d have preferred him to go to a French team though. Time will tell.

What’s your view on Kevin Vauqelin to Ineos? I realise he needed to find a new team but worry he’ll be lost there.

Rachel Reeves’ budget must reduce inequalities and increase spending capacity of the masses This is how to secure sustained economic growth

685,000 Britons has wealth of £2.8 trillion, 48m have £2.4trn.

4 people have more wealth than 20m Britons.

Bottom 50% of the population has 5% of wealth, the bottom fifth only 0.5%.

Rich buy political parties, legislators; hold govts to ransom.

Can't get economic growth without redistribution.

How has the government got itself into the position of standing up for Israeli football hooligans, while criminalising peaceful supporters of Palestine Action?

British.

I’ve been the same. Unfortunately I now live in France and the membership site doesn’t account for that. Were I still in England I’d be in like Flynn. The Greens under Zack are what I was waiting for politically my entire adult life.

George. You spelt “assh0le” wrong.

Can you imagine if Russia attacked and seized a UK vessel in international waters & kidnapped the people on board, including UK citizens, and the only response from the UK govt was to say that's "a matter for the Russian govt".

No, me neither.

So you don’t have an answer then. Fair enough. Just wait until you are asked for your papers. Enjoy!

Do the police stop you in the street to ask for those? Do you think they will stop people of colour asking for their ID if there is one? It’s a small step and one that an authoritarian government would take in a heartbeat.

It will be free, for now. Downstream when they’ve spent £10bn of taxpayer’s money Palantir/Fujitsu or whoever will introduce a “nominal” charge which will gradually increase.

I’ve got a French one too. I’ve used it once (other than trips to the UK) to spend my accumulated points at the local Intermarché. I could’ve done that with my driving licence.

Too in the pocket of US tech companies for my liking. And Streeting is abhorrent.

Since when has Starmer done the right thing?

Good for Josh.

Instead of a mouth he’s got four arses.

Unfortunately his hard of thinking followers won’t give a toss. They’re like the MAGA cultists.The Sex Pistols summed it up with “blind acceptance is a sign of stupid fools who stand in line”.

So an organised campaign of non-payment of license fee as a starter. Active leafleting against Reform on the streets. There’s more of us than there is of them. I don’t have all the answers but unless people get off their arses and DO something it’ll be too late. See USA for what happens if not.
