Le Monde, "French MPs vote through the left's wealth tax on the ultra-rich" Your reminder that a 2% wealth tax on those with £10 million, affecting 0.04% of the UK population, would raise £24 billion a year You have to wonder why Labour chose not to do this..

Fairly sick of the sight of simpering British politicians trotting over to America to talk down our country in front of a bunch of braying MAGA fascists If you don't like this Britain, why not go and live in your beloved Trump’s America. (AM I doing this right)

Winston Churchill is credited with saying that America does the right thing after exhausting the alternatives. Donald Trump has turned that aphorism on its head. In the past 10 days, he has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. www.ft.com/content/1511...

Is anyone else really picky about what goes with mushrooms? For me, they only go with garlic or onions or tomato mix. Carrots, aubergine, courgettes etc have no place! Am I strange?

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

A front page that sums up the confused mess we’re now in, thanks to the rightwing politics championed by The Times. Hateful authoritarianism from Musk & Trump. Yet despite that threat, such self-harming reluctance still to rebuild our broken relationship with our neighbours, just a train ride away.

This is what patriotism looks like. Chris Kluwe, a former NFL player was arrested after speaking out against plans to install a MAGA plaque at a Southern California library. What a legend. The irony is that it’s unlikely a MAGA supporter has ever set foot in a library.

Brits say it’s more important to support Ukraine than to maintain good relations with the US, according to a new YouGov poll. And following a familiar theme, there are those Reform supporters once again showing they’re nothing like other Brits.
