Why bother with legal issues? The current US administration doesn't give a fuck about the law.

.......Those who knew Brexit was a massive mistake, and are at present politically homeless.
We may have voted Labour to get the Tories out, but won't next time.

The Muslim mayor of London represents all Londoners - and actually been re-elected three times.

He needs to be much more pro-European to win my vote.
The only other way would be a tactical vote....but that is not a positive vote at all.

Bollocks to them. The poor working kids, who can't even afford their rent, have to pay for these benefits.

I'm more pissed off with him over his stance on Brexit. He should have cncelled it as soon as he was elected.

Limit PIP to working people......then tax it if necessary.

Lydd-on-Sea is the closest he would ever get to that shithole full of idiot voters.

It would have been more legitimate, and probably more effective in bringing around middle-eastern peace, had Trump bombed Israel instead.
I think he has finally realised that Neteyahu & Co have been mugging him and the US taxpayer off for years.

Mis-sold. There should be a way of reclaiming our losses from those who sold it to us.
Kicking them out of the House of Lords would be an easy first step. We shouldn't have to subsidise their meals and London bar prices, let alone give them £350-a-day tax-free as well.

It's OK if you are the Yacht maker, wedding planner or his Jeweller. They are laughing all the way to the bank.
If he sold his shareholding all at once, its value would be nothing like the $250bn estimate.

The UK/European countries should develop missiles or bombs that can be fitted with our own nuclear warheads and carried by European partnership developed aeroplanes, such as the Typhoon and the FCAS or Tempest.

FFS. He isn't going anywhere.
The Left, with their usual imprudence and obsessional insistance on political purity, will end up ushering in Farage and his Nazis, or yet another 10 years of Tory embezzlement and maladministration.
Genuine common sense, and dealing with reality need to prevail.

"AOAV has long warned that ballistic missiles, by design, cannot meet the proportionality and discrimination standards required under international humanitarian law when fired into cities or near civilian infrastructure."
It seems that Israeli warplanes' munitions suffer from the same inaccuracy.

Just like Sharia, but with crosses.

Ban golf.
That wastes an incredible amount of time and money.

EU countries could take Britain's best young people by offering citizenship and the freedom of movement that comes with it.
Leave the UK's racist pensioners and middle aged Reform/Wetherspoon dole scroungers to fund their own pensions and services. They can apparently do it by expelling immigrants.

Given their track record, why on earth would you expect to get any truth from the UK media.

I agree with the AG's stance. Only the defence of our personnel and assets (perhaps other non-participating countries too).

.......from media reports you would be led to think that in the UK most people support Farage and Reform.
That is utter bollocks too.
comment in response to

They (being Jewish) will have been bombarded with Zionist propaganda for years. Their support is more "football-ification" than genuine support for Netenyahu's mob's actions.
It would also depend on the question being asked.

I think she will abstain rather than vote against the bill.
Resigning shows some principle, while at the same time leaving the door open for another cabinet job.
There was no way as a whip she could do anything other than vote for it.

Trump will soon be really pissed off as you pass the 6m mark.
That will be more than his Truth Social cult's subscriber number.......and gained in far less time.

Lying must be a Conservative thing. They are the same in the UK, even when re-branded as Reform.

Not that much compared to what Israel does, or the cost of more Middle East interference by Trump.

The statutory services local governments are expected to provide, with totally insufficient funding, should mean that all local councillors resign, putting both the obligation and blame for shortcomings back onto central government.
They could stand for re-election when adequate funding is sorted.

As with all normal taxpayers, If I didn't have to pay tax either, I could invest more into the economy.

"....to protect our personnel" by putting even more men and equipment in harm's way.
Starmer is dancing to Netenyahu's tune too. What massive politcal hold does that genocidal war criminal have over both Trump and Starmer?

I knew from the start of the Brexit campaign, and told everyone.
It was a disaster for Remain to have both Tory-boy Cameron and the disingenuous Corbyn on their side.
Had they supported Leave, much of the protest element against them would have gone our way instead.

He is on remanded and the case passed to the High Court. Any speculative articles or media exposure could affect the fairness of the trial, and considered a contempt of court.
Similar to the case of Five-names Lennon, who was breaking those rules when he was arrested and then jailed for contempt.

Putting the old git out of his misery with a lethal injection would have been more decent.

Israel will have a lot of war crime reparations to pay for.
I hope they think Netenyahu was worth it.
