Mamdani has now gotten more votes than 1/4 of the members of the United States Senate did when they got elected. The political power being channeled here is immense.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.
Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.
Greens now just two points behind Labour as the Zack surge continues
The Green Party polling is at its highest ever - 15% of the vote. Meanwhile, Labour and the Tories are on 17%... Well, well, Zack...!

They are the threat.
Impressed by his speeches and media handling on day one.
He's saying things that need to be said, about equality, society, nationalisation, immigration, environment and - importantly - hope.
And he's tearing justifiable chunks out of Farage and Starmer.
Having just returned from the UK, permit me to make a few observations.
Dear Brits:
Let your politicians know that the geopolitical, economic, and social landscape has changed a lot since early Brexit.
As an exercise in self-harm, it's run its course. Return to the EU, ASAP.
Never has the leader of a minority party of just 4 MPs, been so vigorously promoted by BBC as Farage..
They broadcast his every word, studiously avoid challenging him on ludicrous policies and pledges
Avoiding Keir Starmer, Ed Davy.. even Kemi Badenoch like the plague❗️🤬

When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

UK-based oil trader is SUING South Sudan for non-payment of debt!
It’s shameful that a country experiencing a humanitarian disaster could be sued by oil traders making millions.
I've written to the CEO to drop the case, will you:

I'm deeply grateful to those who have shared their stories for The Human Toll project. These stories capture the deep sense of fear, loss, helplessness, disappointment, and anger that people are experiencing in the wake of recent changes in the US. But they also offer reason for hope.
