I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

£72 million from 2 individuals - both of whom have faced questions about money laundering, both of whom live/d overseas to avoid tax - is not compatible with democracy.
I don't care if it's Reform, Labour or whoever. We can't function like this. Not for long.
So how do we fix it?

Well, I guess now we can stop pretending that the German's nazis all died off after WW2. I never really believed it anyway, as I met quite a few in the 90s.
