I know I’ve got some Labour local gov’t types following me, so I want to say this clearly so that you can share it internally as appropriate: I will never again vote Labour while these policies, or Wes Streeting, are in place. I will not vote Labour at any level because of this.
TOP TIP: get round the problem of no plan surviving contact with the enemy by having no plan.
Trump can say completely conflicting things in the same breath and appear to mean both of them because, for him, there is no truth.
As a malignant narcissist, his relationship with reality is entirely transactional.
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
TV Talk Show Chatterbox Pete Hegseth's Pentagon:
Feels like a day to reup this recent Democracy for Sale story
Tony Blair’s Institute privately pressed a top European Union official working on the rebuilding of Gaza to work with Donald Trump’s Board of Peace.

Sánchez: “You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.
“We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”
That about sums it up!
Malignant narcissists experience increased paranoia, denial, and rage as death nears. They often externalize these experiences through destruction and abuse of others in an effort to maintain a sense of control.
I suspect all of these wars are in part related to Trump’s awareness of his mortality.
You saw the SOTU? Trump has a pornographic obsession with the bloodshed. He relishes the feeling of power it gives him. Miller is merely a Peter Principle racist sadist.
The enthusiasm of most billionaire media outlets in the US and UK for Trump’s illegal assault on Iran is another reminder of how deranged, perverse and frankly psychopathic these organisations are.
Remember when he accused Zelenskyy of starting a war so that he could suspend Ukrainian elections?
Every accusation a confession.
Dashiell Hammett had his ilk nailed: "The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter".
It is the singular mark of the intemperate Nationalist to hate that which actually represents the reality of national life, and to love a much narrower, uglier, and altogether more unpleasant Nation that lives only in imagination.
Absolutely insupportable. Labour have a massive majority. It’s a hugely popular issue. To fail to act would be a dereliction of historic proportions, and utterly inexplicable.
Now that's a Labour manifesto one can get behind. Until, it becomes official Labour policy, the Green Party will continue to eat their lunch.

The person making life & death decisions 4 the entire globe has ZERO grasp on reality. There is no way this is going to ever happen. Even if he thought there was a chance in hell before he attacked Iran, that he still thinks this now is TERRIFYING, abnormal behavior.

6 days into a war, asking for 50 bn extra funding, tells one exactly how much planning went into this murder tantrum.
*offshore of his Scottish links courses.
If Trump thinks wind turbines are so ugly, the Scottish govt should anchor a few rusting, decommissioned supertankers of his Scottish links courses.
Well, he's got a lot to feel inferior about: the alcoholic, misogynistic, racist bully. For someone who can only forlornly aspire to mediocrity, he rose to unimaginable power because his reptilian boss cannot distinguish between reality TV and reality.
The first time my German brother-in-law came to visit, he, a Dutch friend and I went for a post-dinner stroll, after dark.
German BiL: "You Dutch are crazy. Leaving your curtains open - everybody can see inside!"
Irritated Dutch friend: "Yeah, but it is only you Germans who stare inside!"
White America, so discombobulated by President Obama, decided to test the thesis that the worst white man is better than the best Black man by electing, literally the worst white man in America. Somehow, the first test results were deemed inconclusive and they decided to run the experiment again.
Labours attitudes towards water companies is one of the starkest examples of how they'll do anything to protect the status quo.
The case for water nationalisation is so bloody obvious to everyone - yet they'll do anything they can to keep the failed privatisation experiment.
Protecting the environment used to cost money. Now, solar and wind are cheaper than fossil fuels. Trump is choosing to wreck both the economy and the planet.
kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck
And how many of those 21% are actually aware it is an undeclared, unconstitutional war with no clear goal or exit strategy?
I hope Ukraine is doing surcharging on drone defence consultancy to countries that refused to aid them against Iranian drones and who are now having Iranian drones smash into their own skyscrapers.
