My statement on the protests in Iran. I support the human rights of everyone, everywhere.

In the spirit of brotherly love, could I gently enquire why the almighty **** are government departments, government ministers and Labour MPs *STILL* using X?

Oh there you go, confusing the issue by introducing facts and truth. How are we supposed to ignore Jeremy Corbyn when people like you keep pointing out that he’s been right about almost everything? Can’t you just leave us in the dark so we can hate him as we’re instructed to? No facts required.

I blame those fools who chose not to give #Trump the Nobel peace prize. They missed a trick, eh? Now he’s getting his own back, just to show he didn’t really want it anyway. Is it too late?😄

But surely, as fox hunting is always claimed to be “vermin control”, Tim will be able to find alternative work as a rat-catcher. Maybe in a boiler suit, rather than his nice red jacket, though. He just needs a few Jack Russels and a flat cap. He’ll be perfect. 👍

My question to Christians is: How would you know about “God” if you hadn’t read it in a book written by men, or been told about it by other humans?

You’d think he could have made some small gesture of his non-existent humility. But at least he hasn’t yet suggested annexing Vatican City. Small mercies, eh?

He could at least have worn a suit.

Unfair victimisation of a fine upstanding pillar of the church. We should be looking for exonerating circumstances. Has anyone considered the possibility that Welby was spending so much time ministering to the staff of Pizza Express, Woking, that he just couldn’t worry about children being abused?

The government was right to welcome Ukrainian refugees fleeing war.

There is only one reason that people in Gaza, displaced by a genocide that our government abetted, are treated differently.

That reason is anti-Palestinian racism.

Fox hunting is part of their social way of life. It has absolutely nothing to do with vermin control. You don’t need a red coat and symbolic paraphernalia to control vermin. It’s a cover to obscure the disgusting nature of their obsession with cruelty. Don’t be fooled by the nonsense they spout.

Was slavery a tradition? Or bear-baiting, witch-burning, child chimney sweeps, the death penalty, laws against homosexuality, chemical castration, no votes for women, etc? All “traditional”, but now gone. Fair to guess most who hunt would like to bring back all the above, too. “Vermin control”?😂😂

If all you’re doing is following people, not asking them for anything, just reading their posts, I can’t imagine why anyone would have a problem with it. If they don’t like it, I can’t help thinking they’re probably not worth following. 😊

Next you’ll be telling us Noah didn’t really build an ark. 😱

Guilty 😟 But no remorse 😄

Can’t understand why so many relatively poor people seem to believe that a few mega-wealthy “businessmen” are on their side. Isn’t it obvious that those poorer people are poor because of the wealthy exploiters, not because of other, even poorer people? Is it so hard to admit you’ve been conned?

Agreed.

Surely it’s time for everyone to recognise that Musk is quite unwell. Rather than disturbing him further with outraged and prolonged engagement with his deranged comments, wouldn’t it be better to ignore them so that he can calm himself and hopefully seek treatment. His conduct is not normal.

And there were we, all worried about Russian expansionist intentions, when all along, the real threat was from the U.S.

Agreed. Shine on.

Also, some love for Pink Floyd...

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

The government has told elderly & disabled people to wait until 2028 to hear its plan for social care.

What about those who are suffering here and now?

We don’t need a commission to know what to do: end austerity, reverse privatisation and build a National Care Service for all.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! A special thank you to those who are working over the festive period.

Not everyone is able to enjoy Christmas in comfort — here’s to a more equal world free of injustice, suffering & war.

Today, express gratitude to those who bring you joy!

I love how Denmark isn’t taking any shit from Donald Trump. 🇩🇰 🤣

Clacton looks nice at this time of year, eh? Oh wait…

Incredible to think that Toby Young's elevation to the Lords has cheapened a legislative chamber that contains Ian Botham and Claire Fox.

Just when I thought rock bottom had been reached.

Badenoch’s not a serious player. She’s an intellectual lightweight. Only in comparison with Truss does she seem competent. Tories will kick her into touch as soon as someone serious wants the job. Meantime, she’s light relief on Wednesday lunchtimes. Luckily, they have no sense of embarrassment.

I think they’ll get rid of Badenoch quite soon. After all, she hasn’t opened a single new pork market since she got the job. And the Rotherham tea plantation is producing practically nothing, thanks to her. Worst of all, she hasn’t hosted any parties in no. 10. She has to go.
