By all means, but winning at all costs is not a pretty sight

There's a big man on the world stage with that attitude

And fine you might not care if people like you, but someday that might well come back to bite you. It's about time statistically 1913 happened again

I'm not surprised by the hubris post GandD as there is a side to some of these Labour Ministers that was always a tad discomforting

I am surprised, slightly, by the size of the JCB that they are using to dig themselves in further

So as many of us said (😉), McSweeney was only part of the problem

So basically Marshall is paying some current MPs, retainers from his own pocket via a media company portal. And at the same helping some former MPs with their mortgages

Who'd have thought?

😂😂😂😂😂

There seems to be an arrogance that is really quite unpalatable and is I suspect the reason so many 'progressives' are abandoning them

The inability to listen to what you are being told and adjust is a trait good honest hard working people at all levels of society intensely dislike

Sounds like mine except it's always, chocolate, chocolate!

Take a bow, @privateeyenews.bsky.social.

Pete, Pete, all that planning mate

Were you spending too much time listening back to your own speeches and preening or maybe too much time on that Christian zealot stuff?

All that intelligence gathering and you could have asked Mr Zelensky for some pointers

Not really up to this are we?

a man with a mustache is making a silly face Alt: a man with a mustache is gently nodding his head and making a face that says, 'Oh yes!'

"Vulture" capitalism

Is this night Arsenal's 'villains' became Premier League victors? Was this the evening the villains of the Premier League title race became victors? BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty assesses the ramifications of a big night in Brighton.

Anyone else remember the chant, "Boring, Boring, Arsenal" from the 1980/90s?

Not a Liverpool fan but under Klopp you watched the games because you knew you were going to be entertained

Win by turning the game into a wrestling match at corners is not entertaining

Sounds like 1990s Management Consultant language to me...which company can out language another?

Ha, I just couldn't remember his catch phrase. Thanks!

"Your boys took a hell of a beating today"

Go New Zealand!

Not scared I suggest just fed up with kittens hanging of his/her ears!

Boom!

Or should that be Woof!

P.S. I did get the humour in your post 🤗

The good thing about being an unpaid Non Exec for a charity or trust is they can't nudge and wink at you and point to your salary cheque when it comes to a decision at a Board meeting

The other is it does feel like an honourable way of giving back. I worked in public service areas all of my career

Merz says he told Trump behind closed doors that:

(a) any trade deal with the EU is either with Spain on equal terms or not at all, NATO/ defence spending being a matter to address separately;

(b) Trump’s criticism of Starmer is unjustified, the UK plays a strong E3 and defence role.

Remember the Windrush compensation scheme?

It was put in place in 2019 and despite changes implemented in Jan 2026 (fair play to Labour) it's still far from sorted from what I can make out

I grew up in S London and a lot of families I knew there will still be waiting for this to be resolved

Well, you do seem pretty active since retiring - good for you

I'm definitely not a pipe and slippers man, but the pace slowed when I retired a decade back

Still an early riser and because of some medical issues prior to the last 2.5 years was doing unpaid Board level work. Might be able to return

Obama?

Robbing Wales eh? Sounds about right (sic)

I'll get my coat!

I suspect Sánchez is expressing the majority view of the EU population, unlike his fellow Member State leaders and those in Brussels.

AND you are right. I compared them to new players of the Board game, Risk, yesterday. Dashing around fighting battles, doomed to failure because there's no strategy

Wowa, my head is spinning. Quite some description there Steve!

A bad one!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Clear out toys now!

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

...so be bloody grateful you bunch of non christians
