Bit harsh on those dogs

Another classic cartoon showing Bondi being a BLEEP at congress

And before 1066 as well

Just hope the non-reform vote isn't split enough to let them in

Mandelson maybe but the firm will stop Mountbatten Windsor being done.

If, as he said, he knew Epstein was dodgy from the start why did he take his family to the island for a meal?

What when the unreleased ones are probably even more damning? Don't think so

One of Starmers biggest problems is relying too much on McSweeney, may well be the final nail in his coffin

Proud to have provided the inspiration for this

Not when he keeps listening to the same bad advisors that pushed mandelson in the first place

Again probably on the urging of advisors Labour still has to do a reform tribute act on immigration. Change the flipping narrative about immigration not pander to the lies

Makes you wonder what is in the ones still unreleased

Thought he wanted to help the party not cause conflict? How does publicly criticising it do that? Guess he did want to become an MP for a leadership attempt after all.

Hope people are keeping an eye on the stock markets, no doubt some people are making lots of money with this instability

I think it was more trying to stop his tantrums but it failed, I doubt she believes he deserves it

No if it is anything other than natural causes he becomes a martyr

Trouble is to nationalise the water we effectively need to buy out all the companies and where does money for that come from? Then the infrastructure will need heavy investment, more money needed. I agree it should be publicly owned but none of the people calling for it ever explain how.

True and I hope we do

There's a lot of US bonds held across the world that if cashed in would cripple the USA for generations. I'm beginning to think that it's only the desire not to totally destroy the USA that's stopping some of those being called

Trouble is until we are politically stable the EU will just decline. Wish it wasn't the case but it is.

You could use it in a comparison to Trump's nappy

As I pointed out to the person who asked what I would do. I am not a politician with access to advisors and resources. I am not in a position to influence the situation, there are no easy answers. Telling Trump to F off would only cost what little influence Starmer might have with Trump

I'm not a politician, I don't have access to the resources and information Ed does. I'm also not in a position to have any influence on the situation.

Rename it Epstein Island, Trump will never mention it again

Tell us Ed what you'd do? Would you threaten our economy even more by provoking the temper tantram in charge? We are weak because we isolated ourselves from the EU. Starmer seems to be acting as a go between with Europe and Trump. But pontificate from the sidelines.

Keep going Tan, you are amazing for continuing even when faced with the rubbish (polite version) you get

If you are Harriet then well done up until your behaviour at breakfast. You kept rightly saying it's a game which made the way you spoke to Roxy very strange.

But from all I've heard it is very intense and no doubt that night probably wasn't the best sleep you had.
