After 14 years of appalling record from the Conservatives and the debacle of Liz Truss, how can anyone believe what Kemi Badenoch says.

Some one asked for a photo of our dog serving at the bakery of a well known British store. ChatGPT obliged rather well, I think.

I don't believe for a second that there are no strings attached! What they are will become clear sooner or later.

We have a contender for Pope, the very best possible of the best. She knows right from wrong and behaves impeccably, honest to the core!

Just like those who voted for Trump - and now dictatorship.

From ITVX, and if Trump said this, then it is pure Putin speak. What better than to have one of your agents (POTUS in this case) explain why Russia has failed to take Ukraine. Perhaps Ukraine's considerable strength and determination not to be taken by the Russians has something to do with it?

We need to prioritise the EU…

…and the rest of the world.

Dump Trump.

A conservative French news magazine brightening up the Paris news stands … hard to overstate the damage Trump is doing to his and USA’s reputation among allies (sic)

Putin’s plans with his stooge in Washington seem to be going well. Divide and conquer? The divisions seem to be falling into place.

One thing is clear to me at the present time that we should not be passing any sensitive intelligence on to the CIA. There is a considerable risk that it will go straight to Moscow.

I agree and now the trust is broken, we should avoid passing to the States any sensitive intelligence as it will be passed immediately to Russia. The end of an era of trust.

The same response might be expected from a shoplifter.

This is the one time I agree with Musk - Farage, despite his aspirations for a single party state, is not the right man to lead any party let alone be an MP. Clacton seem to have drawn the short straw.

This has to be the most dishonest reporting of an opinion poll I've ever seen

The survey actually found that over two thirds of voters *do not* think Starmer will be out of No 10 within a year.

Farage wants a one party state with him leading it.

Musk will fall sooner or later, I imagine. He is getting too big for his boots.
