What has happened to #PoliticsLive on #BBC? Today we have the "panel" discussing a comment from sent in by some random chap and then a pub landlord who is against digital ID cards and various other views. Is it trying to ape social media?

#thameswater have a nerve. After paying out to shareholders for years they now want to avoid paying fines, putting up charges to users and are looking for investors/new owners, including overseas entities. Water, as a basic necessity, should not have overseas owners.

Absolutely. I'm not confident we will win the head to heads with those currently in the relegation zone.

You could well be right [about him not listening]. I think there may be a chance of Neves coming back but I'm more doubtful about Jimenez. It wasn't exactly a good send off. Unless Fosun sell us ....

☹️ thanks for the clarification!

I hope so BUT he needs help to curb his temper. He cannot hit out no matter how much he is provoked nor how little protection he gets from officials.

And as for those Democrats who voted with Republicans to censure him I have one question. Why? Presumably, as a Brit, I am missing a vital bit of US Congress protocol.

Thanks. Admit I get narked when some US distort their history (eg there were Americans and Brits on both sides in the War of Independence and before that the Pilgrim Fathers were free to worship in England but they wanted to impose their beliefs on all so they left) but credit where it is due.

Don't mean to party-poop but this is The Mail on Sunday. A different editorial team, I believe, and slightly left of the daily offering - not that that's saying much.

Some US citizens did volunteer (via Canada) pre-Pearl Harbour; they would be appalled. AVG were in China before PH.

All this talk from the European Leaders' Summit of TOGETHER reminded me of this youtu.be/XW2LoRqikWI?...

As it's by the Village People it should appeal to 47.

Hope you can access this comment from Jonathan Tapp in The New European. If not, my apologies.

Indeed. What shocked me, amongst many things, what Trump suggesting he didn't support Ukraine or Russia!! [His rant about Hunter Biden was also totally bizarre]

It's impressive yet unbearably upsetting to watch Zelenskyy hold himself up under extreme pressure against vile bullying and deliberate belittling. All in front of the world's media as he had to translate these exchanges internally before replying clearly in a second language, and staying calm.

It needs to involve the people of Gaza so they can return home. The danger is that many will hear the first and conveniently forget the rest.

Trouble is there are things that are correct. Gaza does need investment and rebuilding BUT as homes for the people of Gaza NOT as the "Riviera of the Middle East" and NOT under US control.

Can't disagree. I won't miss any of them. Certainly not like I miss Neves, Jimenez, Jota, Moutinho, even Costa and Cavaleiro, from the recent past.

Now waiting for the ref to 'even it up'. Probably in many small but significant ways.
