Middle class woman of a certain age. Can’t abide the very silly and ignorant use of words like ‘woke’ and the equally absurd invention of ‘culture wars’ by third rate hacks. Proud EU rejoiner, a fan of civilised debate. Love London.

Breaking News: A judge said the government should release Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist employed by Harvard University, saying U.S. customs had “no factual or legal basis” for revoking her visa.

The UK has the highest energy costs in world, this is despite being completely self sufficient. In the 1970's we had the lowest Energy costs in Europe. But that was before all of our Oil and Gas was sold to Margaret Thatcher's mates for a pittance.

Donald Trump is no longer the most powerful American in the world... #LeoXIV

Doesn’t he understand that being invited to spout his repugnant defence of Putin and voice his offensive unpatriotic insults about our country on BBC 2 shows that free speech is very much alive in the UK?

Dr James Orr made an utterly extraordinary claim that JD Vance is right to accuse the UK of stifling freedom of speech, totally ignoring the current persecution and jailing of anyone who expresses a negative opinion of Trump, including UK visitors! (Politics Live May 13)

Climate crisis means that now, in parts of Africa the rains rarely fall & crops fail.. USAid was supplying rice,,squash & life saving nutrients for babies. Today, the worlds poorest children are dying. .

Unthinkable and unbearable, poor man. I hope board and lodging isn’t deducted from whatever compensation he is awarded.

The Government wants migrants to have A Level standard English. The obvious response will be countries requiring us to have A Level French/Spanish, which rules out more than 95% of people. Hell even A Level American/Australian is going to stop most people.

One of the strangest ironies of the last ten years has been watching Britain immersing itself as deeply as ever in memories of WW2 while proudly turning its back on the project that emerged from it.

The super-rich are wrecking our economy, our democracy and our planet. We need to rein them in before it’s too late.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

Answers: citizens’ assemblies to truly involve people; reduce illegal immigration by introducing safe, legal routes and listen to UK Patriotic Millionaires who’re campaigning for a wealth tax. Not blaming you Stella, but pass the message on.

Yes please, let sanity, wisdom and the UK’s best interests prevail - at last.

He has zero respect for the arts. He’s a monster

I had a productive call with Ursula von der Leyen this morning. We’re ready to build on our free trade relationship, bolster economic security, and work side-by-side on shared defence and security challenges. When Canada and the European Union build together, our futures are stronger.

May he rest in peace after a lifetime of service x

Wall Street knows the general idiocy of trade policy by this administration. I saw Good Night and Good luck this weekend. Clooney’s performance was stellar. Murrow’s honest assessment of McCarthy finished him. Who’s our Murrow now?
