Say no more 🤪

So how do we all feel about one of our main news channels being owned by a far right agitator and pumping out extreme, racist filth, while OFCOM, the govt, the opposition and the rest of the media just sit blankly staring at it, as if they were watching the hands of a clock go round ?

Reminds me of the Brexit vox pops, sitting outside cafés, munching chips.

Ministers to ask 100 UK citizens to advise on digital ID plans Exclusive: Randomly selected panel will feed into consultation as government seeks to counter conspiracy theories and public mistrust

100 random people with deep professional expertise in this area would struggle to engage meaningfully with this, so you know, good luck. Quite the most stupid thing I've seen in a highly competitive field. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Ditto in France, 30c per litre increase in a week on diesel.

Clive Lewis has another Starmer article is wrong in the Guardian today, if he wanted to be PM he should have stood for party Leader, applies to others who air their criticisms of their Government via the media, particularly the Guardian.

I genuinely don't understand why he remains a Labour MP. Surely he would be happier in the Greens. The more he snipes at Starmer the more bitter and disingenuous he looks, if he feels so strongly he really needs to make a stand and move on

It’s also shooting themselves in the foot, as they won’t do well in the next election if they’re constantly telling constituents and others that the Government is on the wrong track. What does he think people will do? Remember what he said and vote for a different party next time, so Clive loses.

There should always be healthy debate in a party. And constructive feedback/criticism is useful. But if that party is largely implementing the manifesto that MPs campaigned for and were elected on, constant complaining does not reflect well on MPs.

Anyone who needs the importance or relevance of the Epstein files explained to them in 2026 are not worth listening to. Their opinions are irrelevant because they are uninformed at the highest level.

"Israel is killing civilians in Lebanon and Iran with impunity because no one stopped Israel as it committed genocide in Gaza ..."

There is still no stated goal for Iran, but the dorks in the WH are putting out some sweet videos…. So they feel like real warriors

Slow handclap for the muppets who voted for Trump because of cheaper gas…

Well done. You’ve shafted us all.

The truth is these are not very bright guys and things got outta hand.

Do I have this right? Trump will not go to Congress for war authorization… But he will go to Putin for war authorization!

Heating oil prices in the UK have trebled in a week. 2 million homes, no price cap protection, no warning.

Heat pumps + solar are multiple times more efficient, don’t require an oil tank and oil deliveries and are an insurance against such frightening price spikes.

This morning, I awakened early to sit and then suddenly, anguish arose in me. Others must feel the same. The Mideast is literally on fire. So much loss of life... the children, the elders... then there is the terrible loss of any sense of safety and the loss of trust.

100 Labour achievements

I'm constantly baffled by people particularly the media and a handful of Labour MP's who manage to completely ignore the achievements of this Government to date. Not expecting universal agreement but the many, many positives are never mentioned, I seriously don't understand why.

Blame Liz Truss for the gas supply issues (and a myriad of other failings)

We are facing an energy crisis. Britain is the worst exposed in Europe with only 2 days gas supply stored. If only we had our own gas to exploit. Or our own oil. Or our own coal.... Blame @Ed Miliband (Allison Pearson on X)

If only we had clean, renewable energy and were not beholden to a dirty, expensive, dangerous commodity that pollutes our environment and is the source of most of our geopolitical woes.

It's not just Iranians
the US & Israel are slaughtering
It's also refugees from
previous wars they've started,
leaving turmoil, having stolen
as much oil as possible

space and following longer and longer routes. Cutting the Iranian air space and most of the Gulf states too has made things even more complex. The United States administration seems not to care what happens - it will bluster its way with excuses. The rest of the world is far more concerned.

resumes as soon as possible. Another big issue is the impact on air freight.
Dubai is one of the busiest airports in the world for freight and it’s basically cut off. It’s hitting air freight from Asia to Europe and can quickly disrupt supply chains. Costs are already higher avoiding Russian air

IS THE WORLD HEADING IN TO A TRUMP-INDUCED RECESSION?

The US economy is already in trouble - the jobs outlook is bad, food prices and incomes remain stubbornly higher in the former and static in the later. Oil prices are rising fast and making the poorest who need to drive suffer more. Western

control - but stopping them? How? Leave the people to face the wrath of a merciless IRGC and vengeful Ayatollahs? Trump says he doesn’t care if Iran becomes democratic- so what was all this about? Crushing Iran militarily and use the uprisings as an excuse.
