No, Zelenskyy called his bluff by attending. The sooner that Trump realises that Putin is taking him for a fool the better.

Starmer is falling into the same trap as the Tories and treating Farage like the Pied Piper of Clacton.

We’re all poorer and many are understandably looking for someone to blame for it. Farage, the main architect of Brexit would be a good start.

Good point. Next year is the 10th anniversary of the referendum. We need an open public and political debate about the damage Brexit has done, and how we’re all poorer as a result. Maybe the Farage the Saviour myth will start to slip.

Farage was the architect of Brexit which has severely damaged our economy, made us poorer, and increased immigration. He’s now our saviour apparently. When will people wake up and realise that he’s the problem, not the solution?

Trump is reviled in the UK and Europe. Only in the US could he have become its leader.

Cue the crushing disappointment when the people who voted for them realise that Reform fail to improve any of their local issues and concerns.

‘We need to broaden our appeal’ is today’s comms message. No. In trying to please everyone Labour will please no-one. Starmer needs to tell voters that Farage is no messiah. Brexit has ruined the economy, made people poorer, and immigration has increased since we left the EU.

No he doesn’t, ‘I get it’ is nothing more than a soundbite. He needs to stop talking about ‘broader appeal’ and tell Reform voters that Brexit caused massive damage to the economy and made us poorer. Immigration has also increased exponentially. Their hero played a substantial role in that disaster.

Starmer is falling into the trap of courting ‘broader appeal.’ Instead, he needs to kick the elephant out of the room and tell Reform voters that the man they consider to be the country’s saviour caused irreparable harm to the economy and that we are all poorer as a consequence.

Starmer needs to grow a pair, stop talking about ‘broader appeal’, and tell knuckle-dragging Reform voters that their supposed saviour was instrumental in severely damaging the UK economy which has materially contributed to us all being poorer. Labour has lost the next GE already, so why hold back?

Farage talking about DOGE this morning. He clearly hasn’t listened to the backlash against it in the US. Let’s see him try here and hope that his supporters see the reality of Reform having to make good on their empty promises.

You can tell straightaway that’s AI-generated; there isn’t a long brown stain in the seat of his trousers.

Instead, their front page today claims that the power cuts in Spain and Portugal are due to net zero policies. An extraordinary claim but one which the Colonel Blimps and anxious pearl necklace brigade will seize upon.

I’m sick and tired of hearing stories and statistics relating to buyer’s remorse. They voted for him and both the US and the rest of the world are now stuck with Trump for four years.

At Easter, Trump declares that hid only god is money.

A cynic would describe this as insider dealing on a global scale. I’m no cynic.

This grim, nihilistic, desperate Brexit-benefit argument is a bit like saying: ‘we’re fooked, but we could have been really fooked.’
comment in response to
post
It’s the most grim, nihilistic, desperate argument I’ve ever heard, but entirely predictable coming from the right-wing rags. It’s a bit like saying: ‘We could be well and truly fooked but, thanks to Brexit, we’re only fooked.’
comment in response to
post
Anyone who describes it as a ‘dividend’ or ‘benefit’ of Brexit is clutching at desperate, nihilistic straws. It’s a bit likely saying we could be well and truly fooked, but instead we’re just fooked.

For one judge to talk about another in this way underlines how corrosive the politicisation of the judiciary in the US is.

This is straight out of the Goebbels playbook: deflect, dissemble, mislead, and lie. Never, ever admit fault or wrongdoing.

He doesn’t.

Putin is clearly stringing this out but Trump is so desperate to do business with Russia that he can’t, or wont, see that he is being played like a violin.

This is no surprise when you appoint drunk amateurs to high office.

This is madness. Complete and utter madness. The world is in such peril.

He wants a dictatorship.

This is unbelievable. Trump is knocking down one of the main pillars of the United Nations. He’s encouraging WWIII, not preventing it.

In 1975, we voted overwhelmingly to remain in the EEC. The right wing press campaigned relentlessly for the next 40 years to take us out of the EU. The boot is now firmly on the other foot, their lies and misinformation having been thoroughly exposed.

His ego must have been crushed by the sparse crowds, even if he knew that Musk would help him to ‘win’.
comment in response to

His rallies were half empty and he was very low energy in the weeks leading up to the election. It was as if he was resigned to losing.

Labour has already lost the next general election.

He fought off a field of 80 other golfers. They’re still trying to remove their concrete golf shoes.

Did the rest of the field have an AK47 trained on them in case they holed too many putts?

He’s also as thick as a plank.
