This is so true and a valuable thread The system since World War II has worked in the US's favour; we've all got just enough out of it to stick with it We need a new system developed by a coalition of honourable countries. The US can join at some future date if it reverts to honourable behaviour

🤯 More drilling in the North Sea? 🥵 On his first day in No. 10 the new PM is going to alienate everybody who cares about our climate 😰 What's next, the devastation of our countryside? 😭 I had hope but he's lost me on day -2

Farage, Tice and now Jenrick Crooks and snake-oil salesmen to a man It's good to see the financial and criminal authorities finally doing their job Time for them to look back at the dodgy money that funded the Brexit campaign

Farage's attempt to turn Clacton into a film-set with his constituents as extras succeeded for less than 12 hours He now faces a by-election against Binface, where the only point for debate is whether or not Farage is corrupt I delight in the way he has lost control of the narrative

The dark money surrounding the Brexit referendum has never been properly investigated This isn't just about political corruption but also national security, given the suspicion that Russian money was involved 10 years on it's not too late and we need the security services and police to step up
