The UK Media will only ever hint at it at best.

The media in both countries are not just a huge part of the problem but, unless they change, the reason why restoring truth, rationality and stability will be next to impossible.

More exactly (from the article itself)

The Starmer government is “not doing anything” to help, it is alleged.

Starmer government ‘not doing anything’ to help UK citizens kidnapped in international waters The families of the British citizens kidnapped by Israel in international waters this week as they sought to take humanitarian aid to Gaza as part of the Sumud Flotilla have drawn a blank in trying…

Depressing...

Why am I not looking forward to 2026?

Fall far short, you mean - Charles was 45 seconds behind the winner.

The way things are going P6/P7 are the best we can hope for in the remaining 6 races.

That’s assuming that the voters are fully informed on both those issues. Personally, I doubt it.

President Macron:
“We were very naive to leave our public space to social media networks controlled by US or Chinese companies that don’t share our interests and not interested in survival of our democracies.”

"Kemi Badenoch has chosen to back Nigel Farage and join Vladimir Putin by leaving the European Convention on Human Rights – a proud British creation championed by Churchill that protects everyone's rights and freedoms. "This will do nothing to stop the boats or fix our broken immigration system – problems caused by the last Conservative Government that Badenoch still hasn't apologised for. "I say to former One Nation Conservatives who have been abandoned by their party’s lurch to the extremes: you have a home with us. The Liberal Democrats will always fight to defend our fundamental British freedoms and the rule of law." Ed Davey

Kemi Badenoch has chosen the side of Vladimir Putin and Nigel Farage with her plan to leave the European Convention on Human Rights.

The ECHR is a proud British creation, championed by Churchill, that protects everyone's rights and freedoms.

What a lemon

Firstly (& most importantly) he DID NOT say that.

Secondly you can’t wang on about language you don’t like AND parade Lucy Connolly like a mascot.

Make your mind up.

Where did it go wrong?

Specifically - in David Cameron's head. He thought he could buy the electorate and the right wing of his party with a referendum on the EU.

Unfortunately he never factored in the quid pro quo. The last vestiges of integrity and conscience in the Tory Party.

Astonishing how far the Tory Party has fallen.

The steady march into irrelevancy all began with Cameron and his Brexit gamble.

Exactly. Very well put.

At the risk of defending her... "making the country better" and "do I feel better off" are not the same.

And an oxymoron.

Happy autumn, laws are still in force.

As Reform's Nathan Gill admits taking bribes from Russian 'secret service pawn' Oleg Voloshyn, here’s a nice photo of Nigel Farage with Voloshyn’s wife.

They’re saying the NI number requirement for work is being abused - numbers being shared etc. Apparently if they stick a photo on a card that solves the problem.

Which, of course, it won‘t.

It’s not a solution to anything, it’s just yet more performative politics at the taxpayers expense.

James O'Brien reacts to Nigel Farage's suggestion that migrants eat swans.

Hopefully not something along the lines of "I saw every minute of it and it's clearly important stuff that everyone should watch".

But without those people, and that team, Horner was nothing. In fact, worse than nothing. He led THE most dominant team in F1 history down to 4th spot in less than a year. Had it not been for Max, they would have been in last place.

That's just one of the reasons why I think he's rubbish.

Horner was supported all his time at Red Bull by some of the most talented people in F1, and by a boss - let's not forget he had a boss too - who encouraged him to get those people.

He deserves the credit for keeping that team together and enabling them to succeed at the highest level.

Lovely. Thanks for explaining it to me. I'll now have to review the 28 years that I was a team boss across all levels of a business.

Team bosses manage teams to deliver an objective. Without the team the boss is nothing. Good bosses get the best out of teams.

Not until those who took the decision at Disney are out.

So why are you crediting him for them?

I generally rate Chris Mason but it would make things easier for all if Robbie Gibb - Brexiter & Theresa May’s director of comms at Number 10 - were not still a non-executive director of the BBC. Everything he touches turns to shit. Including, at the moment, a lot of the Beeb’s political journalism.

Horner was the genius that came up with the low-downforce rear wing and the floor updates? Give me a break.
