Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government

Nadhim Zahawi would be frightened to live in a country run by Nigel Farage.

Zahawi has deleted it, but it is too late.

Uruguay’s Renewable Charge: A Small Nation, A Big Lesson For The World Uruguay built a power grid that runs 99% on renewablesβ€”at half the cost of fossil fuels. Here’s how its bold energy overhaul became a global model.

β€œUruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewablesβ€”at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhereβ€”if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

One of the people the USA killed in Venezuela was Rosa Gonzalez, 80 who they blew up in her apartment.

Will you hear this on the European News?

Petition: Apply to Rejoin the EU as soon as possible to increase growth in the UK We believe Brexit's not working. The OBR judges that the UK economy is smaller and trade is weaker because of Brexit, and it will just get worse. 10 years after the Brexit vote, let's apply to rejoin ...

John Major, "Our links to Europe and America may be loser now than once they were and that is a loss"

"The loss of trade with Europe alone costs us Β£100 billion of lost trade every year"

"That's a tax yield of Β£40 billion"

"How useful would that have been in recent months to the Chancellor?"

Dark forces are preventing us fighting the climate crisis – by taking knowledge hostage | George Monbiot The fundamental problem is this: that most of the means of communication are owned or influenced by the very rich, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Rachel Reeves says we have a Β£25 billion black hole

Let’s make today about who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, not who wasn’t.

The Committee awarded it to Maria Corina Machado for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.

Nigel Farage's attendance record as an MEP was 748 out of 751, yet he turned up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian disinformation. Now one of his MEPs has admitted taking bribes to spread Russian propaganda. Why is this not all over the media?
