The right is a busted flush in the UK. 14 years of Tories messing up everything from Austerity, Brexit, to Covid and Reform rightly suffering from links with Russia and Farage’s obvious Trump wannabe posturing, they are both completely irrelevant- and the public know it. Reform’s polling is a myth.
I really hope Axel Springer grip the Daily Bile’s editorial staff and make it a sackable offence to make up stories (private school VAT disaster), publish flagrantly warped opinion pieces (Heath on Truss’s budget) and cease quoting serial liars, of which Hannan is a prime example.
Remind me: who wrote this of whom and when? “I have met some very bad people, none as bad as X, not one decent cell in his body, so yes-dangerous”.
Oh good- at least Harmsworth and Marshall were prevented by Nandy from wrapping The Daily Bile into their hateful extreme right wing media cos. Axel Springer agrees to buy Telegraph Media Group in £575m deal
There is only one good thing coming out of the airstrikes in Iran: the increase in the price of oil should drive our switch to renewables even faster.
Does anyone doubt now that Farage isn’t a Trump clone?
Reform is “worth a try”?! You want a rancid Trump clone putting ICE on British streets, breaking up the NHS, taking money from children in poverty to cut the price of a pint, ripping up net zero progress to take us back to coal, oil and gas and (unspoken) cutting taxes for the rich? He is Brexit!
“If Labour wants a fresh fight on Europe, let battle begin” says The Telegraph. In other news it has repeatedly said “Brexit was a mistake”. Pity the poor journalists working for a paper that doesn’t know it’s ars* from its elbow.
Radcliffe, as part owner of one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, certainly did bring football into disrepute. But his own reputation has been sullied by his casual racist statement too. Why should taxpayers contribute to his new stadium- let him finance it through his tax avoidance savings.
That’s a big, hard to prove assertion. Aiming to have 50% of teenagers in university education, rather than say 20%, with the other 30% in properly funded apprenticeships, always seemed badly targeted. AI will strip out a lot of knowledge economy roles in the next 10yrs -a blend of skills is needed.
Hungary contributes just 1.2% of EU GDP v Germany 23.7% and France 15.8%. Trump Orbán Putin- it all stacks up.
Doh, I think I’ll vote Reform “out of curiosity” - yes and get Brit Trump. NHS workers voting Farage, farmers voting for Brexit. Whatever happened to common sense fgs?
Can’t wait to see front page coverage of our improving productivity in The Mail, Telegraph, Sun (if they know what that means) and on GB News. It will be a change from the constant Starmer bashing, Brooklyn’s latest faux problems and other “world shattering” events.
One of the few, even the only, real negotiating aces Europe has over Trump, at least in the short term. Use with care.
An integrated European army and UK membership of the Customs Union are vital if the EU is to significantly increase its hard power in an unpredictable and dangerous world. Starmer needs to up the pace (demonstrating a clean break with McSweeny) and link these back to his growth agenda.
Dacre’s defence is not factual evidence, descriptions of peer reviewed QA processes or specific vignettes that demonstrate how he legitimately sourced intimate details of the complainants’ activities. It’s all “absurd”, wounded egos and “care for his (often abused double cun*er) staff”. No Defense.
Wonder if BP’s declining profits, caused by the oil price falling 20%, had anything to do with peak oil and the expectation of falling demand caused by the shift to renewables and EVs- which BP walked away from. Truly a myopic decision leaving them to slug it out with far bigger, richer oilcos.
“Change” to who and what? The “distraction” has lasted 3 weeks (1%) out of a 5 year term. Business sentiment is improving because leaders value continuity and the greater certainty this brings. Starmer is resolute, has integrity and wants to implement the changes on which he was elected. Support him
There is no credible alternative to Starmer and any lurch to the left would anger business leaders who like his growth agenda. “The turmoil could derail an uptick in sentiment since the budget” FT Saturday. He has made mistakes but his administration is night and day better than what preceded him.
Daniel Hannan talking through his rear end again: “The cowardice of Britain’s leaders is why Brexit is not more popular six years on” -Telegraph. Oh really, the Treasury knew Brexit was going to be a disaster, which is why tax avoiding Moggs et al were determined to prevent an impact assessment.
The US mid term (and beyond) vote rigging is happening now.
But, but I thought the UK was “broken”? I wonder what data Farage is reading-if any.
This seems significant!
Sigh- more common sense from Labour to cut the number of police forces from 43-12, to reduce management and back office duplicated costs, focus on both complex organised crime and low level community crime. Starmer is not getting the credit he deserves for step by step improving the public realm.
Reform is not rescue charity for panicky Tory MPs, Farage says.
Oh yes it is! Braverman, Patel and Truss next?
Stand up the so called 4th estate and Russian bot farms. According to their daily bile, British society is doomed, when actually it’s doing a good job weathering the storm. US society, well that’s a whole lot murkier and probably worse still to come if MAGA “wins” the mid terms.
Trump’s oil obsession has gifted the global market opportunity for renewable energy products and services to China and RoW. Everyday the US capability deficit will expand. Worryingly it indicates a 100% focus on hegemony over all the Americas.
Its simple- just leave X
Is it something to do with pencils and old cassettes?
Yet more long term evidence that the wealthy have captured the Supreme Court and US media. So if you’re not a billionaire, get out the Dem vote at every opportunity.
