The moment he abandoned his 10 pledges was enough for me. Furthermore, Labour (who I was a lifelong supporter and member of) have not only alienated me, a change of leadership will be of no use to them either with the spineless cabinet abandoning all morality and founding values. Politics defines us

Russia tried to assassinate the President of European Commission Ursula von der Leyen by jamming her plane while landing. So far Europe has ignored the issue as to not give Russia the attention it wants and to quietly prevent themselves from reacting to this significant escalation by the Kremlin.

Farage is whipping up anger against the ECHR with false claims. As The Bear brilliantly writes: “The ECHR [is] the foundation that protects you from your own government.” That's why leaving the ECHR would be a Really Bad Idea.

Curse of private equity. PE has devoured retail, supermarkets, vets, care homes, healthcare. Now it is skateboarding in the US. Staff cuts, up to 90% wage cut, asset stripping, high debt, low investment, price hikes. PE has no long term interest. It devours and is expanding in the UK.
Hard eye roll. Policy Exchange puts out a report which conveniently erases the UK Govt's GFA commitments on the ECHR and The Telegraph rush out stories that the experts have spoken, even as the plain wording of the GFA gives a lie to this. Patrick Minford syndrome lives on.

Putin spoke at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit. He blamed the West for the "Ukrainian crisis" and said that "the root causes of the crisis" must be removed in order for peace to come. Looks like Putin has made his choice: he's going to continue the war.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

Pre-ECHR, rights were almost completely at the whims of the current parliament - which doesn't always represent public majority. The Bill of Rights of 1689 could be very easily abolished by parliamentary majority. The ECHR created a set of rights that have an external guarantor. That's the point.
Douglas Carswell has skirted the line and now he's crossed it. This is disgusting racism from a former MP who now demonstrates who and what he is.

There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
