“Starmer’s dealings with Trump over tariffs amount to… betrayal. Come to tea with the King, be nice to us and cut us a special deal. You want Britain to go easy on those tech giants who are trying to control our thoughts? We can discuss it.”

Rachel Reeves: “I want our young to be able to work in Europe.” Good - this is a common sense growth lever for the Chancellor. We already have youth mobility schemes with a dozen non-EU countries. And two thirds of Brits would support such a scheme. www.thetimes.com/article/f347...

If you think Labour's trade policy is falling apart then you should have seen the last lot... Realistically, familiar failings of secrecy and naivety, but still a huge improvement and I think slowly improving. www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2025...

Alabama is now in the ‘find out’ stage Mazda’s Huntsville, Alabama plant just hit pause thanks to Trump’s tariffs. Nothing says “great economy” like factories shutting down because the guy you overwhelmingly voted for doesn’t know shit about business. www.al.com/business/202...

The Trump Administration has done it: their first _conventional_, Pinochet-style "disappearance," in which a whole human has disappeared off the face of the Earth, and no one has any idea where they are or if they're still alive. Even the Nazis kept records. This is the full-on vanishing of a life.

There is no conceivable need for Labour to keep repainting their bright red lines over Brexit even NOW! Not in the age of Trump unleashed. If you're still making excuses for them, find the nearest mirror then take a long and very hard look at yourself.

Farage: "7.2 million foreign-born people have registered with GPs in the last 10 years... All I'm doing here is giving you cold hard facts". Well here's another cold hard fact - 40.6% of GPs in England and Wales are foreign born. The NHS would completely collapse without workers from abroad.
