It clearly hasn’t occurred to #Tump that giving #Putin Ukraine means he can’t object to China absorbing Taiwan. R.I.P to us all.

We are witnessing the final victory of the rich over the poor. I think it is fair to say that the American Revolution has been shown to be a hollow sham and an existential threat to the few remaining democracies.

So Farage & Truss are aping their US heroes and launching a Climate Change Denial “Think” Tank. Our epitaph will be: “Here lies H. Sap: killed by politics”.

We must stop mega-donors from warping our democracy. A ban on annual donations over £5,000 would cut the influence of big donors on our politics and protect the interests of ordinary voters. Sign the petition secure.unlockdemocracy.org.uk/page/162623/...

I don’t understand why the NHS is in crisis. What happened to the £350 million a week that we would get after Brexit? Could it be we were lied to?
