Cherish free speech but not abuse or cruelty. Mental health matters. We live in challenging times so we mustn’t let the search for the ideal, distract us from overcoming the bad.

BREAKING: Nathan Gill is sentenced to 10 & a half years in prison after pleading guilty to eight charges of bribery from a Russian agent.

The "ultimate source" of the funds came from "a close friend of Vladimir Putin," said Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb.

Dozy Don.

Yes and being older I’m struck by the change over the past decades means remembrance has become a much more prominent event. Sadly though, at the same time many people have forgotten that we were commemorating the defeat of fascism, racism and hatred.

A powerful reminder that those that make the most noise are not the people we need to be listening to.

Nigel Farage says he wants to 'raise aspiration' by cutting the minimum wage for young people (currently £10), but reducing tax for young people earning over £100k. Presumably he wants them to just ask their stockbroker fathers to fix them up with a job in The City, like he did.

He’s using grooming gangs to enrage racists so that he can blame anyone who isn’t white for their problems. To gain support he needs to cause division so he and complicit elements of the media have to ignore white men who are of course responsible for most abuse of women and children.

I’m not convinced that she shares his views and I haven’t seen her accuse any of the contestants of supporting Hamas.

That would give Tesla a massive boost so it suggests the Board aren’t very good.

She’s so consumed by her racism that she can’t comprehend that most people aren’t like her and see people for who they are and what they do. Sarah must be a truly miserable person.

Yes and insurance and savings including pensions. Nothing wrong with looking at radical ideas as long as you think it through and understand the unintended consequences.

I’m absolutely not suggesting that Labour are anywhere close to the Tories or Reform. Labour aren’t perfect but I’m optimistic that things will improve over the next few years. When it comes to the election we need tactical voting to avoid splitting votes against Tories and Reform.

Crazy and shocking. Thankfully the Tory party is heading for irrelevance although they are also enabling Reform UK Ltd to grab power for Farage and his Russian allies. We have to resist these forces working against humanity, justice and democracy.

Yes, we know that China has spies but I’m not convinced this particular case merits all of the attention it’s getting. It feels as if Kemi is desperate to pin something on Keir but she’s failing miserably, as usual. Her biggest problem is her total lack of judgement.

Great TV and it’s refreshing to see actual celebrities on a celebrity programme. Superb cast and Claudia is perfect in her role. 😊

I totally relate to your thoughts and I understand the dilemma. Facebook feeds me things I’m not interested in while hiding most content that I want to see but there are reasons for me to stay on to share information in a couple of groups. I don’t feel able to disconnect so stay unenthusiastically.

He’s definitely standing up to Reform UK Ltd which is critical because too many people are oblivious to Farage’s plan to emulate Trump, enrich himself and turn on people who dare to disagree with him. I’m not entirely convinced by Zack yet but tactical voting will be vital at elections.

I fear that the problem is that the mega rich have such a stronghold over here from property to media that it’s almost impossible to resist the vested interests. I’m desperately hoping it’s not too late to rebalance our society.

Of course Farage is peddling a false agenda, it’s the only way to pursue his Trump style agenda of giving everything from money to power to enrich himself and his wealthy friends.

Genuinely good news and the bonus is that the orange felon will be apoplectic that he not only lost but lost to a woman! 👌

Is that a badly disguised Chris Mason moonlighting from Reform UK Ltd?

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.
