None of my great grandparents were English (Malta, Italy, Ireland…). So I guess we wouldn’t see me as English despite parents and grandparents being born in England.

Can’t this be challenged in court? I would have thought there is a clear violation of basic human rights.

Don’t worry. The BBC will report on this factually and accurately like always.

The obvious question is what will it be replaced with? If it’s gas from Trumpland, I’m not sure we are any more secure.

Sadly the Tories probably have much wealthier donors.

Greens who want to save the world by destroying Britain.

My secret evil plot to β€˜destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss.

If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled.

It’s a good thing Britain is now free to trade with the world. 🌍

He’s not a Labour, so it won’t be.

I do. It’s convenient for the Israeli government and its Zionist allies.

Labour needs to remember it’s a left wing party. Enough of this Blue Labour crap!

It also needs policies that make it possible for young couples to have children.

I don’t envy you Americans. Even if Trump dies tomorrow, he has done so much damage you’ll need a generation to fix it.

It’s Starmer and Reeves that are helping Farage. They show a startling lack of courage, conviction and vision. They are boring technocrats sleepwalking into a fascist nightmare that will destroy Britain. Starmer should be replaced as soon as possible.

To please Great Leader, the Smithsonian has removed Trump from its Impeachment Exhibit. Now, only Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton are shown as having been impeached. (Nixon resigned before the vote.) We are only minutes away from Barack Obama being removed from photographs Γ  la Joseph Stalin.

The problem is the leadership. They aren’t focusing on what really matters and seem unaware of the dangers of the next election.

At least he didn’t get Starmer to look for his ball.

With Trump, any trade pledge is meaningless anyway. Just ask Canada.

He doesn’t. Kids will see porn despite this law. It prevents nothing. Kids are far more tech savvy than the politicians who thought handing over your credit card details to the most unsafe websites on the internet would protect children.

He has a point though. I understand that there are other considerations than just trade, but allowing 15% tariffs (and higher crippling tariffs on steal) without retaliation does feel like a capitulation.

He hasn’t really turned on Putin yet. As far as I know, the US hasn’t ramped up support for Ukraine yet.
