I dabble in IT and follow Arsenal F.C. Occasionally UK and world politics cross my path and I voice my concerns. Oil and gas kill people in wars, I'm doing my best to be less reliant on it.

First Canada wanted closer EU ties. Now Australia does too.
Meanwhile, Starmer spent two years trying to “make Brexit work”, while Burnham remains boxed in by red lines.
