Now told it’s a spoof - well, if if it is I tell you it’s exactly how Trump’s mind works. In 2026 US will experience concerning challenges. He will do anything to prevent the Democrats winning Nov 2026 mid terms. It will be the end of him

Trump’s reaction to the heavy election losses - totally unhinged but extremely threatening and dangerous. He is feeling the pressures now and is going to hit out in all directions.

Tactical voting could block Nigel Farage’s path to No 10, poll shows More than half of Liberal Democrat voters and nearly half of Greens would back Labour to stop Reform winning key seats, YouGov analysis for The Times suggests

Tactical voting here to stay until Westminster voting system is changed. Inevitable. People will coalesce against party they don’t want or fear-that party will be Reform and thought of Farage as PM. Not only left of centre voters don’t want that so don’t Tories.,

This is some verdict on Trump’s decisions, actions and behaviour - so far not his usual immediate mad response on his social media outlet. Maybe he thinks it’s all Fake News.

Double standards glaring in the media and Tory party. Calling for resignation of Rachel Reeves. Just think about PM Boris Johnson - misleading the late Queen during Brexit, partygate, Covid failures, the No 10 decorating and free holidays paid by wealthy mates. Come on get real.

UK government is in the throes of resetting UK’s trading and other relationships with the EU. Intention is to reach agreement in 2026 and fully implemented in 2027. A lot depends on it.

Home Office ‘set up to fail’, says Shabana Mahmood after secret report A ‘damning’ internal review has exposed a culture of defeatism, poor management and operational failures as the home secretary promises an overhaul

Home Office ‘set up to fail’, says Shabana Mahmood after secret report. The report was completed over 2 years ago and the Tory government kept it hidden. A blatant act of irresponsibility. It takes a Labour government to now sort it out.
