Gave him the red carpet treatment on a state visit, red arrows and golden carriage rides. Should have been nowhere near the bloke. Originally refused to criticise his heinous policies on immigration Gaza etc and citing the special relationship. Compare and contrast the UK govt with rest of the west

We were in the minority with our stance on Trump (well apart from Israel, Hungary, Saudi Arabia and Belarus). Were the rest of Europe and Canada in the wrong with their approaches and we were right? What did we do - send Peter Mandelson to keep Trump sweet.

The initial attack was in 2023. The comments you have posted are last year. There were months and months where Labour refused to condemn Israels retaliation as illegal. We had front benchers refusing to say bombing hospitals was illegal. It was disgusting and indefensible.

Of course its difficult juggling priorities but dont think I can ever be persuaded that trying to keep Trump sweet was ever going to be anything other than a disaster. As for refusing to condemn Israel while they bombed schools, hospitals and homes was unforgivable.

Starmer has done some really good things since coming in. Unfortunately he has also made some horrendous choices. Failing to criticise Israel in the early days when Gaza residents were being
bombarded and toadying up to Trump has really soured people against him. They were poor unnecessary choices

As it stands we have achieved nothing better than our European neighbours economically from it and have managed to come in for blistering attacks from the orange twat re Iran. If wanted to build bridges should of focused on our nearest trading partners not some rabid brainless oaf.

The Tories blatant opportunism is as ridiculous as Starmers previous refusal to criticise Israel over Palestine and his courting of Trump. Surely he should have realised his toadying sycophancy would backfire with someone as ignorant and thin skinned as Trump?

The regret of selling vinyl, we've all been there unfortunately! Didn't realise the Demob 7" was so pricey, I'd want a sleeve with it at least for Β£40.

I actually sold everything I had. Now trying to replace some but being selective. Think last one on Discogs went for Β£38.

Sold all the Desperate Bicycles vinyl when skint. Never had one of my favourite punk songs of all time Demob ~ No room for you. Local record shop has it but not in sleeve for about Β£40.

Two glasses of amber coloured beer on a wooden table in a Brugge beer cafe.

First tasting of 2026 Boskeun on draft - at Bernie's, on 't Zand, Brugge. A little sweeter than the bone dry bottled version we tried last night, but further research on this important matter is clearly required...

They won't. They are going to get shafted. They are going to deserve it. And it's going to be hilarious.

Bbc reporting in an increased demand for more UK involvement in Iran. Well have seen it in the billionaire and tax exile owned press but genuinely have heard no one saying we should be more involved. Why are the pushing it. Obviously Badenoch is clueless opportunist but why else?

Trump and his regime never has a plan about anything they do. All decisions are made according to Trump's whims. He constantly changes his mind and then everyone just "wings it". That's no way to run a government. It's sloppy reckless, + massively irresponsible. Definitely not good for Americans.

I love Silent Witness but crikey the latest episode. Over complicated, worthy, wordy tosh. Trying to be far too clever and ending up with an unfathomable storyline.

I know you are a Bullseye completist - Have you ever seen more than one episode where all three pairs turned down the chance to go for the star prize. I always assumed they would say to the last pair they'd give them the money anyway just to keep it in the show if theu took it on.

Yes I agree with that.

The difference between Starmer and Badenough at #pmqs is noticeable. Starmer sounding statesmanlike, sincere and sensible while Badenoch sounding like as stroppy. ill-informed VIth form student. She is pathetic.
