The damage he has done reaches beyond the borders I’m afraid.

When the interest rates go up, Starmer should verbally attack Trump as loud and as clear as possible. He’s incredibly unpopular, and is the punching bag that Starmer needs politically.

I really want to go back to a time when I didn’t need to be worried about who the American President was. Interest rates going up. Petrol prices going up. He’s literally costing me money, and has done irreparable damage to politics around the world. 77 million people.

They’re all so excited. The mad King has noticed us! The mad King has noticed us! All so desperate to be part of their culture war and bring it here.

Sad, quisling, courtiers, with Farage right in the middle, looking after only himself.

There’s always money for war, but when it comes to welfare? The budget has β€˜ballooned’ and we simply can’t afford it. What a joke.

This isn’t a hallucination, Michael Gove. You’ve never explained the millions you disbursed to buddies with your crony Covid Contracts.

Cashing in on the worst public health crisis in a century should disbar people from public life permanently.

Keir Starmer has undoubtedly made political mistakes in his time as Prime Minister; but it's a relief not to be led by some right wing nutter during this moment. The campaign against him this week, as usual, has been hysterical from the disingenuous usual suspects.

GB News has never made a profit because it doesn’t exist to make a profit. It exists to exert pressure to push broadcast news channels further rightwards. It is about further poisoning the information environment. That’s why it exists.

The British right all just want to be MAGA Americans. They all just want to be famous influencers. Every thing they say and do needs to be seen through that lens.

It’s a little-known fact about Kemi Badenoch that years ago she must have suffered a traumatic brain injury that has left her completely unable to recall any event after 2002. That may sound ridiculous, but once you know it, it explains an awful lot about British politics. 

Take, for instance, Wednesday’s Prime Minister’s Questions. The Tory leader demanded to know why Britain wasn’t joining the Americans in attacking Iran. That’s a brilliant question if, like Badenoch β€” and apparently her entire team β€” you have absolutely no knowledge of β€œUK Involvement With Events in the Middle East: 2003 to Present Day”. Otherwise, even the most slow-witted MP would get a pretty handy clue from the first three letters of the target country’s name.

A reminder: Matt Goodwin lost heavily in spite of an almost total lack of tactical voting, not because of it.

The combined Green/Labour vote was 66%, versus 28.7% for Reform.

If Labour and the Greens split the vote 50/50 – a total coordination fail – he'd have finished third, not second.

Have we woken up in America? The deeply unpatriotic Daily Mail and Sun seem to now be supporting a menace of a foreign leader over our own govt and national security. They are really only loyal to their own vested interests. Which are a direct threat to our own. The routine betrayal is sickening.
