Your regular reminder that the UK is in fact a high trust society and anyone who implies it isn’t is either selling you a pup or has bought one.
The Monster Raving Loony Party perform a valuable service for British democracy, by rendering redundant any party that finishes below them. Last night this was 5 parties, including Advance UK, the Libertarian Party, and Rejoin EU. Result!
The UK is the second largest economy in Europe and is outgrowing Germany and France. I am bored of rejoiners dooming. Its not true, and while the UK has problems and Brexit imposed economic challenges, the UK is not on a downward trajectory.
this whole thing is on Bezos, a perfect example of why billionaires will not save us
for years he supported the Post and then he decided destroying it utterly at the altar of a wannabe dictator better served his personal ambitions, so he did
institutions shouldn’t live or did at one man’s whim
I hope Labour are in the process of suspending Mandelson from the party… putting aside all the reasons he already should but his act of trying on behalf of Epstein and his associates to influence the then chancellor by ordering threats against Alistair Darling is a disgrace.
Get him gone
There’s always a post. Ouch!
Paramilitaries executing people in the streets is what happens when you allow billionaires to run your politics.
Nicola Sturgeon "has questions to answer" over a scandal at Scotland's flagship hospital, Labour has claimed.
Anas Sarwar suggested political pressure was placed on NHS Greater Glasgow to open the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in April 2015 - days before a general election.
Or, indeed, at all.
True leaders don't hide behind their staff.
No you're not wrong. Basically he was upset about not getting a Nobel prize, lashed out, made daft threats, but Starmer, Macron etc put him back in his box.
These polls are meaningless because they are not comparing like with like. For example Scotland is not equivalent to say East Midlands. Also London gets it's own mention, but not Liverpool or Glasgow.
These are good questions, but look, UK's actions (since the 60s) have been shameful and this is an ongoing mess. If we could at least acknowledge the right of the Chagossians to their own land we could maybe start going in a different direction.
The best we can do is lease it from Mauritius and stuff the Chagossians? I think if we legally pass ownership to the Chagossians it may not be much help at the moment, but could count for something at some point. Who knows?
Agreed it would be difficult to kick the yanks off but we should try. What's your solution?
Here's an idea. Let's just give the Chagos Islands back to the Chagossians.
I'm all for close cooperation with other democratic nations, to oppose US, Chinese empires etc, but I don't want to be part of an EU empire. It would be just as bad as the other empires.
The Democrats let him get in! History will not judge the USA kindly.
I think Trump has probably ruined his chances of getting a Peace Prize next year.
Britain is one of the best places in recorded history to be born, live, work and grow old. Lots of room for improvement obviously but combat the pessimism, it’s the forerunner of fascism.
I am really hoping UK govt retaliates if Trump's tariffs go ahead, including 1000% tariffs on fucking Estée Lauder.
Joke apparently going round Westminster that every Tory defection to Reform is raising the average IQ of both parties.
Speak Truth....
The Rolling Stains
Children routinely gunned down in schools. A President who is a deluded fascist. Run by a gang of a psychopaths. It is a complete mystery to me why Canadians and Greenlanders don't want to become Americans.
🤔 Is it right for a shadow attorney general to represent a Russian oligarch while shaping party policy? 🤔
A Labour justice minister has put pressure on the Tories over this very question... 👀

The U.N. is a corrupt entity who allows China, Russia & Iran who are all are human rights abusers to judge Israel. Israel has received more sanctions by the U.N. than any country ever. The U.N. is biased against Israel. Full stop.
It’s tragic, the realization that it will only take dozens of dead Jews for the police to ban chants calling for the death of Jews. And even then, will it make a difference? I doubt it. It feels like it’s far too late.
