Trump's threat to Greenland must be a wake-up call for Britain For too long our politicians have toadied to a dangerous president

It's dangerous and irresponsible to be putting our national security in the hands of Donald Trump and not be considering alternatives to NATO.

Net Zero migration is an economic own goal By Frank McKenna

Frank McKenna: "The political obsession with net zero migration is becoming detached from economic reality.

"The UK is an ageing society with persistent labour shortages. Our economy depends on access to global talent."

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For β€˜doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

Reform’s choice in Gorton and Denton tells you everything you need to know Goodwin is a dangerous extremist with views on race that the vast majority of us find absolutely abhorrent.

Patrick Harvie: Donald Trump’s grifting lackeys are even worse than he is WRITING a column about Donald Trump’s antics on the world stage is fraught with uncertainty. As I type, his position appears to have shifted…

Many world leaders have pursued a strategy of appeasement. They fawned over Trump and praised him with disastrous results. This week, we finally saw that begin to change.

The UK Government must accept that it can no longer treat the US as a reliable security partner.

Term limits debate slows abortion's path out of legal limbo Debate is intensifying over abortion limits in South Korea, as lawmakers move to address a legal vacuum that has persisted since the Constitutional Court struck

South Korea's high court struck down its abortion law 7 years ago. The gov't is still trying to pass a new law, with disagreement over gestational limits. But why do they even need a law? Canada has had no law or gestational limits since 1988 and everything's fine. Abortion is healthcare.

It was so interesting looking at the breakdown of this - the results were generally pretty even except politically, slightly more Conservatives and significantly more Reform voters believe the U.S. military should be on U.K. soil.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE. "TAX THE SUPER-RICH" The Super-Rich Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires have signed a letter calling for increased taxes on the super-rich.

Extreme wealth means extreme power - over our politics, our media, and our lives.

When even the super-rich know it's time to tax them more, will Labour finally listen?
