The Guardian reporting now that Labour MPs were instructed to abstain on Farage's bill to withdraw the UK from the ECHR. Can Starmer stoop any further to Farage's level?

And I think Ruarri's big surprise is that he's signed them up for the next season of The Traitors. (Hope Brian gets invited just so he can say, 'I'm 100% faithful.')

I'm beginning to think George's only hope of earning a living is if Timpson's open a branch in Borchester. NO rehabilitation in Ambridge! Vengeful and proud of it!
(Nice bit of hypocrisy from Lillian - droning on about the importance of compassion.)

Harriet Harman has just confirmed that she is a certifiable idiot.

Perhaps Sean O'Grady is mentally-challenged?

And our present Labour Party has inserted itself firmly in the category of Friend of Trump and Netenyahu.

Whereas the far right end up on the same side as fascists like Trump and genocidal war criminals like Netanyahu.

Gotta love AOC:

In the UK now, for a free Covid shot, you have to be over 75, severely immunosupressed or living in a care home. Even doctors, nurses and care staff no longer get one. The British Government seems happy to establish the UK as the repository of the next wave of Covid in order to save a bob or two.

'To be accused of one genocide, Mr Starmer, may be regarded as a misfortune. To be accused of two looks like carelessness'.

(With apologies to Oscar Wilde.)

Lights are on but nobody is home.
We have a broken Roomba for President.

Maccabi Tel Aviv row reveals Starmer’s cover story for colluding in genocide The legal and ethical earthquake from Israel’s carnage in Gaza was never going to be contained there. As the Aston Villa row shows, the shockwaves for Britain will keep growing louder

Required reading for anyone still labouring under the delusion that Starmer has a moral bone left in his body.

Adverts should be representative of traditional British families.

Really hard to take the Liberal Democrats seriously as a progressive party since Ed Davey made his contribution to the Maccabi Tel Aviv thugs debate, aligning himself with Starmer And Baddenoch with his ludicrous 'antisemitism' allegations. He and his party are bombed out for me.

Starmer, of course, more focussed on Reform than on the actual racism. Now if it had been antisemtism ... He can't say too much about the racism since he himself is helping to kill a lot of brown people in Gaza and supports the right of Zionist thugs to come and terrorise Muslims in Birmingham.

Is the Washington Post still pretending to be the newspaper of Woodward and Bernstein?

Reform MP apologises for actually saying her vile racist thoughts out loud.

And he hasn't stopped lying since. I'm one of those stuck with MP Blair McDougall: A Labour apparatchik who parrots every line of Starmer's lies - on welfare cuts, no justice for WASPI women, and support for Israel's genocide. This is what the Precious Union has given me.

What a stunner!

Quotes attributed to Tamir Yedai, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and Dudi Amsalam discuss whether to shoot or arrest suspects, including disturbing remarks about shooting a child with a donkey.”

Little chance of that. Rachel Reeves (right-wing Labour Together) might be forced to introduce a wealth tax to help cover the cost. She's hardly going to antagonise her rich backers to help a bunch of wronged old women (like me). Think you're confusing this Government with the Labour Party.

They’re terrified.

They can’t cope with Plaid in the ascendancy, let alone the SNP or Sinn Féin.

They’re hiding under the bed hoping the Scots, Welsh and Irish will simply go away.

A 9-year-old Palestinian Boy Stood at a Distance. An Israeli Soldier Knelt and Shot Him Dead.

Eyewitnesses say Muhammad stood with his arms folded, posing no threat, when a single, deadly shot was fired. The soldiers later appeared to celebrate. The IDF said the incident is under review.

In Britain, the qualifying age for the general population has been increased this year from 65 to 75, not just for the spring booster, but even for the annual shot in autumn/ winter. A private shot costs £80-£100, so most people are going without.

To save money. The pharmacist who gave me my private Covid shot (£85) told me the flu vac costs a couple of pounds; the Covid one is about £50. (Possibly exaggerated to justify his charge.) Short termism of course. And no concern for the the rest of the world as the UK becomes a repository of Covid.

I was told by the pharmacist I bought my private Covid shot from (£85) that it's purely a matter of cost: The Covid vaccine is significantly more expensive than the flu one. Of course, this Government knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

Companies that donated to Labour awarded £138m in contracts, study finds Report raises fresh concerns about the link between political donations and public spending

You got that right. And they've all emerged from Morgan McSweeney's odious right-wing Labour Together. They have expelled everyone who who might be regarded as even moderately left-wing and are totally in hock to Zionists. Labour is now a busted flush.

Latest polls shows the SNP heading for a fifth term and a comfortable victory, in the May Elections.

It's the job of sensible Scots to enlighten the unenlightened and make Greens the 2nd Party at Holyrood.

Scottish Independence is the ONLY solution.

A reminder of the modesty of the Greatest President Ever: Until now, he's kept his degree in paediatric medicine a complete secret.
