Liberal-minded anti-brexiteer. Politics, finance, people and not in that order! Opinions painfully my own. Subject to change depending upon evidence - principles rather more fixed. Hopefully aging disgracefully.🔶🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

How do you kidnap and deport millions of people? How do you meet a quota of 3,000 apprehensions a day? Racial profiling and indiscriminate abductions. Nobody is safe: #MAGAKidnappers

Not quite in the Juncker class of giving Trump a picture of a cemetery, but pretty good.

The complicity of NHS England, the GMC, the Colleges & establishment medics in this experiment on NHS patients has been scandalous. It should never have taken years of grassroots doctor whistleblowing to expose. But this is a small step in the right direction. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Farage and Reform whip up people’s prejudices, then offer to get rid of what they hate.Their power feeds off ignorance and hatred. They make people angrier about the stuff they fear, then promise to fix it. Of course they won’t. But they know who to tell you to blame when they fail. (Letters, Times)

For Fuck’s sake! The exact lesson we feared he’d learn, he’s learned. No one can ever out do Reform for racism, xenophobia, bigotry and tough talk when it comes to foreigners so stop bloody trying to, you’re loosing everyone else!
