"There are Chamberlains in every generation". George Monbiot wasn't wrong was he.

Does this qualify as “friendly fire”?

I can’t emphasise enough how the administration is filling up with cranks and fruitcakes. Here is the Pentagon’s new deputy press secretary, for example.

Morning! Bev Turner asks for a fact-check on this pro-Putin, anti-Zelenskyy video by her idol RFK jnr. Let's take her at her word. As this The Washington Post piece shows, it's mainly misinformation & Kremlin propaganda points. (Rather like Bev's journalism.) washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

"At 16, a young person can work, they pay taxes, they can join the Army. So there's no reason why from that age, they shouldn't have a say in who governs our country," Rushanara Ali MP 💙 says. All true - but all less true than 50 years ago.

Smh. As the now not young people used to type.
