The decline would have been greater, but many people had already booked and paid for their holiday, so had to take it.

Last night on SiriusXM we had a woman caller from KY claim that Trump was the greatest POTUS ever.

It took less than 90 seconds of polite questions for her to call Obama the N word.

And that's #MAGA. Without racism, Trump would be just another rich civilian raping underage girls w/Epstein.

It's not "complicated" it's evil 875+ Palestinians have been killed by Israel at food distribution points in the last six weeks. Using food as bait to massacre civilians is evil, yet western states like the UK remain complicit

It's not complicated.

Whatever your understanding of the wider context, using deliberate starvation tactics against civilians, then using food as bait to lure starving civilians into massacres is downright evil.

I never would have expected it from a Tory like Kit Malthouse, but huge credit to him for giving voice to the moral conscience of the nation in parliament (not for the first time).

The UK government must end their wilful complicity with Israeli genocide and war crimes

The veneer of false legitimacy Starmer hobbled the Water Commission review from the beginning by rigging the terms of reference against public ownership, but no amount of consultation can hide the fact people want renationalisation

The government hobbled the Water Commission review from the beginning by rigging the terms of reference against public ownership, but no amount of β€œconsultation” on their plan for continued privatisation profiteering can hide the fact people want renationalisation.

Keir Starmer hobbled the Water Commission review from the beginning by preventing them from making the case for renationalisation.

The Westmister establishment cabal is fully intent on continuing Thatcher's water privatisation scam.

Yes, we have toasters in England, and use them regularly. We also have sweaters and pullovers.

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her.

RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

Today populism is back in Britain with a vengeance. In council elections in England on May 1st Reform UK, the party led by the architect of Brexit, Nigel Farage, is poised to inflict heavy losses on the Conservatives. Mr Farage is once again upending politics, with grave implications for Britain and its role in Europe. That is because his second act threatens to be more audacious than his first: the pursuit not of Brexit, but of power.

If Mr Farage were actually in government, bad ideas would be compounded by chaos.
His career on the fringes has taught him to avoid delegating power to his colleagues.
His record is littered with feuds. He detests the British establishment which he thinks has belittled him, from the Bank of England to the civil service. He thinks of policies as electoral tools for driving a wedge between his rivals and their voters.
In a country where the state has become complex and hard to run, that is a recipe for paralysis.

Like Trump, Farage isn’t actually interested in what’s good for the country, just what works for him. His ideas are nothing more than cynical populist bollox. Prejudice and grievance for people who don’t know or care about how a country actually works… or doesn’t.
