Don’t forget that the clocks change tonight & that means we’re heading into the chilly season.
Take this as a gentle reminder to look after yourselves, to check in with your loved ones & to check in with your fellow members who you may not have been at Circle recently!

I can see why Reform would oppose measures to prevent money laundering. Maybe banks should check money going *into* bank accounts - particularly when it's Russian money going into Reform politicians' bank accounts...

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies?

By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.

In an apparent reference to the US, Finland’s President Alexander Stubb says in his address at the UN General Assembly that β€œno single state should have a veto power,” as he calls for UN reforms. #UN ... TikTok video by Al Arabiya English

Finland proposes to remove veto power by countries in UN voting. And proposes that if a country violates UN charter and resolutions, their voting rights are suspended.

GREAT IDEAS!!!!
