Nothing new here. Clueless. Trump generally has no idea where or who he is. Someone should put him in a home. As David Letterman said in 2017, Trump isn't fit to run a Dairy Queen. He's worse now.

YouTube video by The Independent Trump wanders off while meeting with Japanese prime minister

A clearly addled Donald Trump wandering off from the Prime Minister and then saluting the Japanese flag. He looks like he doesn't even know where he is.

I'm sick of seeing " I voted Labour, never again "
You were smart enough to see the damage caused by the Tories over the past 14 years
And yet you think everything will be fixed in a year?
And what's the alternative, Green?
The harsh reality is that some need to grow up!

EU will allocate €10 million for the special tribunal on Russian aggression and another €6 million to support children abducted by Russia, says Kaja Kallas. The bloc is also working on an additional €100 million package for backup generators ahead of winter support for Ukraine.

The Labibi looks harmless enough, but has proved extremely dangerous to children. And adults. The Labibi craze threatens to be with us for some time yet, but consumers are advised to avoid it at all costs.

Pope urges news agencies to stand as bulwark against lies, manipulation and post-truths Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the β€œancient art of lying” and manipulation.

β€œWith your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. β€œYou can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

I'll say it again. Our horror at the Gaza genocide and at the atrocity in Manchester comes in both cases from the same, inherent part of our shared humanity. We need to assert that shared humanity in the face of both these evils as loudly as possible, and in as many practical ways as we can.

Dentist check-up today. Need a filling (don't we all!! πŸ˜‰). Got to say though, getting an x-ray blasted at your jaw and told with accuracy where the problem is ain't bad for Β£20 when you think about it. We take that stuff for granted in the UK sometimes

Every election is a sort of collective entrance exam into the future. It occasionally happens that populations fail the exam.

But for the US to fail essentially a resit of its 2016 exam, featuring the same questions, having studied the answers for eight years, is much rarer and pretty unforgivable.

One of the main ways that the US was traditionally covered in the UK was the "only in America" story - tales which played to the British sense it was a bizarre place where mad people did mad things. The Express had a daily column of such stories. Maybe we should just go back to that framing.

Lib Dems say they are currently seeing the longest sustained winning streak in party history with 7 consecutive years of local council gains in England

Internal research (so treat with some salt) shows more people are "open to voting Liberal Democrat" than any other party. Which gives scope to grow

23.09.2025 12:48 β€” πŸ‘ 21    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 1

Some more stats Lib Dem HQ wants to shout about.

The party has nearly doubled its support from 7-8% polling four years ago to consistently polling 14-16%, almost matching both traditional "main parties" in recent polls.

The Lib Dems are pursuing "Operation Leapfrog" - a strategy to overtake the Conservative Party as the primary opposition.

Multi party FPTP chaos: Mass YouGov polling suggests parties may now only need 35% or so of the vote to win many seats, compared to the 55% average winning vote share in 2019.

Lib Dems say the Tory ground game is collapsing - members are not happy.

And attempts by the Conservatives to ape Reform's messaging are not helping their electoral prospects...

Ed Davey is the most popular party leader nationally.

Davey draws level with Keir Starmer on who would make the best Prime Minister. Quite something given that sitting PMs have an advantage.

In straight Liberal Democrat versus Reform fights, the LDs are winning three-quarters of contests.

This May marks the first time they have beaten both major parties in the same year, LD sources say.

The party is arguably performing better now than during the 'golden era' under Paddy Ashdown's leadership.

The Lib Dems are now ahead of both Labour and the Conservatives across southern England.

Picked up some Lib Dem stats at conference. Some of these surprised me (especially given media coverage):

1. The Liberal Democrats now control more councils than the Conservative Party

2. In May's local elections in England, the LDs elected more councillors than either Labour or the Tories.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon being deported twice in 24 hours - first from Colombia, then from Panama - because he’s deemed a national security threat, just a week after he led a march calling for migrants to be deported, is the kind of schadenfreude we can all savour.
