I asked Google Gemini about proportional representation. Its response: “Proportional representation is the most common electoral system among the world's democracies, reflecting a desire for more equitable and representative governments” Frankly I can’t fault it!

The GOP’s “big, beautiful bill” would be the biggest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in U.S. history. On average, someone in the top 0.1% would gain around $390,000 next year. But someone in the bottom 20% would lose $820, and nearly twice as much—$1,545—in 2033.

Rachel Reeves vs reality: The economics of the two-child cap youtu.be/b3GFjLR0Wjs?... The government claims it cannot afford to pay benefits for the elderly, children in poverty, and people with disabilities. That is nonsense. Simple economic analysis shows that these benefits pay for themselves.

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong. What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.

A new Stalin monument in a Moscow metro station is not just historical revisionism — it is a signal. As Putin deepens authoritarian rule and isolates Russia from the West, the glorification of a dictator responsible for mass terror is no coincidence. Nearly 700,000 were executed under Stalin. 1/2

I am so sick of having Nigel bleeding Farage shoved at me all the time especially on #LBC. It's relentless. I'd quite like to hear what Ed Davey has to say occasionally but we never hear from him. Farage is a tedious self- publicist windbag and we should hear more from serious politicians.
