I see now that Starmer is a Corbyn plant. I mean if your objective was to vindicate and venerate Jeremy Corbyn you'd be hard pressed to find a more effective operative than Starmer and his nodding dogs.

Without wishing to attribute anything other than the chronology of their demise and cause thereof... If Corbyn is Gaius Julius Ceaser and Starmer is Marcus Brutus, who is Mark Antony? And why is his name Andy Burnham...

#starmer why not have the fight with your MPs? As it is you look like a politically naive amateur who couldn't lead a conga! Can we not just make Starmer the MI6 of the PMs office, and let someone like Burnham handle the rest.

I hope, given the massive increase in defence spending proposed, the voices calling for reform of the wellfare system, including the NHS, are likewise calling for reform of the open trough that is defence procurement. Or are their snouts in that trough and thus satiated.

#bbcqt -- Just a thought re: private health insurance patients. If the NHS doesn't think you need surgery and your private physicians does, isn't there even smallest chance that there is a profit motive influencing their decision making?

Watching the media fumble around the US involvement in Iran just illustrates how out of touch with reality they are. Regardless of what the US thinks, there are only two things on the minds of the Iranian regime, when to respond and how. It might not be for years, but the countdown has started.

It's perhaps the best example of the incompetence of the Trump administration that the intelligence re Iran's nuclear ambitions makes the dodgy dossier appear rock solid. Policy based on a whim, what could go wrong!

Netanyahu, et al, know they can do whatever they like and Trump will support those action because he can not stomache the thought that the world realizes he is not calling the shots. How does the US get this back on Track without declaring him unfit which would be suicide for the invertebrate GOP?

Trump says UK is protected from tariffs ‘because I like them’ as trade deal is signed off. Starmer seems happy to sign a deal based entirely on the whims of a notoriously thin skinned, capricious, narcissist. What could go wrong? Maybe neither of them understand diplomacy?

#bbcqt Thank you residents of Fleetwood. The most compelling case for Scottish independence I've heard for many years.

When do the Republicans reach their 'Stalingrad' moment and realize there is no 1000 year reich and thee will be a reckoning for their apathy, cowardice, and complicity?

WIth the abuse of authority by Trump in LA, let's not lose sight of the fact that: TRUMP IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES. At the very least we need to make sure the president of the US isn't a pedophile. LA is something else, something he and his acolytes/familiars need to be held accountable for.

People don't hate Greta Thunberg because of her politics, they hate her because she exposes their apaththy and cowardice.

#bbcqt Mainstream politicians have learned nothing from #BREXIT. Aside from the bigots, the BREXIT vote was driven by people wanting change, they didn't know what that change was, only that the status quo leaves them in enforced nihilism. Labours idea of change seems to be finger pointing.

Let's suppose that Trump is unsuccessful in overturning the court of trade ruling that his tarriffs are illegal and unconstitutional. Who is more humilated? Trump? Or the world leaders that prostrated themselves before him? I feel the phrase 'little bitch' returning to common usage.

I think the country would appreciate the MSM putting in the minimum effort. When the talking nicotine stain introduces his latest fantasy policy, at least ask how it will be funded, and insist on details. When he claims he cant discuss hypotheticals point out everything he says is a hypothetical.
