This threatens the safety of those serving in the military. How Trump can continue to stand beside such amateurism is astounding.

I have written politely to Kier Starmer again saying I will not vote Labour next election due to the UK government's approach to the crisis in Palestine. I feel utterly powerless. Due to the media everyday we can SEE violations of human rights and international law. My vote is my voice crying!

There's a dark truth behind Trump's tariffs: Absolute control. Trump's tariffs will be a potent and unilateral mechanism for reintroducing systematic corruption into the economy—and total control over its most influential players.

t “Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country.” He framed it not just as an economic issue, but a question of national security that threatens “our very way of life.” Creating a non-existent threat is a strategy as old as the hills. Let’s see what happens when reality bites!

So now we know. The delivery of the tariff news was predictably infantile and aggressive. So we wait and see if a 1950’s style resolution works for America. Given that it's 2025 and tariffs will hit American pockets too it's unlikely. The global mess he has created in under 100 days is spectacular.

I’m not saying things can’t improve but oh boy Brits don’t know how lucky they are. Even at its worst the NHS is streets ahead of public healthcare in the US and South Africa: the list is too long for this post. Among many other things Brexit was detrimental to the NHS and 12 yrs of Tory gov.
