US Foreign Policy in the security and Defence space is down the pan. Putting an alcoholic game show host in charge, and getting rid of career military experts, has seen to that. The arrogance of ignorance.

Is this the US equivalent of falling out of a window from a great height? Perhaps expect more of the same in coming weeks and months.

Encouraged by Trump who spews a constant hatred of anyone not on his team. He has a culpability for not speaking in moderation, for not toning down his brimstone and fire , for not condoning violence and indeed pardoning Jan 6 criminals. This hatred engenders the belief that violence is acceptable.

He has been in the US for 31 (THIRTY ONE) years. MAGA gets off on the cruelty. There can be no other explanation and there can never be justification for this.

Paul. It was tongue in cheek to show what a man/child he is.

Lowe grew up watching Chigley and Camberwick Green populated by the likes of Mr Bunn the baker. He was happy then, cocooned by a mother’s love and protection. When he grew up the real world was not like that, he didn’t think it fair to him, hence his preference to revert to his formative years.

Unless of course you attack, maim and kill police officers ion Jan 6,then you’ll get a role with ICE.

Whoever would have imagined that actions have consequences. Really, the dots were not that difficult to join.

We are way past the stage where truth, evidence and checkable facts matter to the likes of Ferrari and IDS where Brexit and the EU are concerned.

Waving hands wafting and coming up with such figures are nonsense. Who will remove them, where will they be removed to, how will they be documented for removal, where and by whom would appeals be heard. Spurious and disingenuous drivel

The Bone Spur Kid is such a tough guy apart from when hiding behind his Daddy because he wanted to avoid the draft.

The right wing exists to keep them poorly educated. So much easier to indoctrinate and gaslight then.

Trump is desperate to move the press agenda away from his botched tariffs and his former best buddy making claims that he is a paedophile.

Alternatively just shit in his food and he won’t be back

The election of Farage would solve the small boats problem Sam. How? Relations with France would degrade, the French would pull out of Sandhurst, the juxtaposed controls in Calais wouldbe no more and the very same migrants would arrive in comfort on passenger ferries, as indeed they used to.

Hegseth is blind drunk again.

Philp and his spouse have form for bankruptcy and leaving small creditors out of pocket. It’s happened more than once and they just move on leaving the debt and mess behind.

Hegseth is a drunk. I would not put him in charge of buying a pint of milk.

ECHR underpins employment legislation (via UK HRA). So the poor and vulnerable who are the ones who would be gaslit to voting away their rights are likely to wave goodbye to paid holiday leave, sick leave, paternity and maternity leave. It is they who are in insecure, poorly paid work.

Because it would put sentient diners off their lunch to sit in the vicinity of Yaxley Lennon or whatever Ten Names was calling himself that day

So TACO Trump not only caves in trade talks. Hehas caved here as well. Perhaps the Bone Spurs were real after all?

Literally ‘trumped’ up charges. Had he been the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation they would not have deported him until it was resolved. It is to hoped that whichever Judge tries this case holds firm. If the case is a show trial then the US will be no different to Putin’s Russia.

The Reform Membership will line up behind Farage because Zia is black and so, in their eyes, cannot be trusted. They revert to type. It is really as simple as that.

That Chris Philp is ShadowHome Secretary should be a flashing warning light that the Tory Party is on life support. Never has someone of such limited intellect and charisma reached such heights. And of course he was a Truss cheerleader before switching to Sunak.

The blue rinse constituency in Suffolk booted her out. Tory since time immemorial
and even the Wednesday afternoon beige club wanted rid of the embarrassment she brought to their doorstep. Mary Truss will have to re-invent herself once again to have a chance of re-building her position.

I prefer an evidence based approach. Whilst being in the EU would be infinitely better under Reeves and Reynolds, the UK has agreed a reset with the EU that aids trade. Secondly they are close to agreeing a deal with the US which may offer some continuity. What can you offer other than vitriol?

You are clearly hooked on high drama, high octane politics. Trade is not sexy. Being across detail,reliable and offering certainty and re-assurance is what business craves to lead to investment. You clearly want juggling and flame throwing, it’sBilly Smart you’re looking for.

You seem to want politics to be entertainment rather than a serious business. Surely after the clown show of Johnson and Truss you should now realise that was a catastrophic approach.

Classic pulling up of the drawbridge. Perhaps other EU Member States should have taken the same view when Hungary was so keen to benefit from the prosperity of Membership.

She spouts about christian values. If you’re going to do that then best not nail everything that moves when you are married. Self awareness has always been a problem for our Mary.

The last laugh is on the taxpayer though. This clown get £100k plus per annum for the rest of her life based on 40 odd days of utter incompetence

Populists always have simple solutions, see Brexit, for multi faceted, complex issues.

Farage will indeed stop the boats. How will he achieve that? he will antagonise the French who will rightly withdraw co-operation for Border Force officers to be based in Calais and other juxtaposed passport controls. The refugees will then all arrive by ferry as they did back in the day.

This is borne out of petty, personal vindictiveness. Apparently Harvard turned down his son because, like his father, he lacked the requisite intellectual rigour for entry.

To quote Michael

This is no doubt from the sane clown show screaming that inheritance tax is a further tax on already taxed income.

Oh giggity. Has Harry found another country where schoolgirls frequent the gyms.

Trump is an angry old man who can see the sands of time running through his fingers, towards his not too distant death. he cannot accept his own mortality. He believed, either through his innate ignorance or entitlement, that eternal life would happen in his lifetime. It was not to be.

It will be because each hotel room used by foreign delegations was comprehensively bugged. The financial gain very much secondary.

Like the UK with Brexit they will
Convince themselves they can eat faux sovereignty.

There will be plenty of crops to pick as migrants desert the fields out if fear of arrest. The Trump voting truckers can do that instead.

16 stone. How utterly ridiculous. They really think people are stupid enough to believe that. He is morbidly obese and 19 stone plus.

He stayed out of prison because of due process, something he denies to everybody else.
