Get snack foods from Aldi. That stupidly expensive $6-size bag of Lays potato chips is $1.99 at Aldi. Bonus: I conducted an unofficial blind taste test with 5 different family members. Aldi's Clancy's brand beat out Lays every time. Coffee at Aldi? $6.99 for one pound, and it's excellent.

I am longing for my freedom of movement to be returned. It will be almost as wonderful as breaking down the Berlin Wall.

The whole world is having to deal with the terrifying and expensive chaos caused by this country's temper tantrum, and then we have to hear them mytholigise themselves on top of it all. Just can't be fucking dealing with it.

This week, we opened 385 new affordable homes in Brooklyn. We’ll soon grow the Innovative Urban Village to 2,000 affordable homes, child care, jobs, a grocery store and a performing arts center. That’s what it looks like to build a city without pricing out the working class.

At 25, you might dream of studying in Rome. At 45, you might discover a business opportunity in Berlin. At 65, you might want to retire in Spain. Freedom of Movement meant you didn't have to know your future in advance. That's the extraordinary freedom Brexit took away.

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Of all the many evil betrayals I’ve seen in the last 60 years I’ve been alive, I’m struggling to think of any that match what Trump and Musk did to innocent Ukrainian citizens while Putin was sending missiles this way. A trio to live on in infamy well after I am gone

Was that the same security services you dumped to visit ‘ex’ KGB colonel Alexander Lebedev and party in Umbria just after the Novichok Salisbury attack? Or the same security services whose advice you defied to put his son Evgeny in the House of Lords? Those security services?

Pretty much every report commissioned to find savings in the NHS - going back to the 1950s I think - concludes we are not spending enough.

It's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.

“Some in Downing Street are buoyed up by polling which shows that promising to re-enter the bloc does little to boost support for Reform. They also point out that Farage attacked the prime minister’s speech for the promise to change the pensions triple lock, rather than his comments about Europe.”
