What's great about the results in Serbia is that the candidates of the winning "Students' List" are from a range of professions that have little to do with traditional career-politics. They're professors, doctors, artists, experts etc. It sounds like real a revolution of the smart people! 😍

Windfall profits tackle the symptom not the cause, what we need to do is to prevent windfall profits in the first place - by price controlling oil and gas.

Back in the US after a long break in the UK, I am suffering from total sticker shock after visiting a couple of DC supermarkets. I have never seen prices like it. Inflation numbers here are going to soar & are not yet telling the full story. The difference between late May & today is staggering.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Anyone else noticed how little negative reaction there has been (apart from the usual suspects in the media) to Burnham’s proposal to consider rejoining the EU? No rioting? No marches to defend Brexit? Maybe, just maybe, the lack of reaction means the argument to rejoin has already been won….

These are the same people, note, who frequently ask where the money is supposed to come from to pay for essential public spending, (eg on health care, education and defence) without putting up taxes. Maybe by getting people like them to pay their fair share of taxes in the first place?

Incredible. Student List are candidates selected by groups of students to form an anti-corruption party. Another youth-led movement overthrowing an authoritarian government in Europe.

Poor old Laura just doesn’t understand. EU freedom of movement is not “unlimited”. It’s limited to EU citizens and their families.

Laura Kuessenberg promoting her morning programme on BBC News attacks Andy Burnham's comments on renewing relationships with EU stating this will mean 'unlimited immigration going backwards and forwards.' How does she get away with that?
