There really isn't a furnace in hell hot enough for either this convicted felon or this corrupt war criminal - both entirely governed by self-interest and their desire to keep their own backsides out of jail - or for all those who put them where they are. Damn them all.

oh thank god for that

‘Nobody knows what I’m going to do.’ Er, isn’t Congress supposed to authorise a president’s declaration of war? Oh silly me. Not with King Trump and Whisperer of the House Johnson.

A poodle’s gotta poodle, and few outside the actual GOP wag their tags as enthusiastically and as embarrassingly as the UK PM. He’s so far up Trump’s alimentary canal it’s a wonder he doesn’t collide with Mike Johnson. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I differ from Prof. Shore only on the 77.3m who put this thing back in. It goes beyond ‘disgust’. They are beyond redemption. Personally, I would never go back, or forgive, or forget. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I was wrong about Miller being a Catholic of Irish heritage. But sadly right about him being a thoroughly despicable, evil little shit. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

With the greatest respect, Starmer can fuck off. ‘We’ do not ‘all’ welcome Trump and resent this invitation being given by sycophants without our consent at our expense. The perversion of ‘democracy’ and nauseating fawning must be familiar to friends in the US. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Terrible news from Minnesota. As an Irish person living in the UK, my heart goes out to the victims’ family and friends. Responsibility for this lies squarely with Trump, his administration and the GOP, which has legitimised violence & ‘other’ing & opposed gun control at every turn.

What a total weaselly bunch of c**ts Trump and his administration truly are. A blatant act of aggression by Netanyahu (or Putin) and this is the ‘best’ they come up with. Despicable. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

What a galaxy of scum. Reagan has a lot to answer for, opening the floodgates to Murdoch and these other monsters. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Fetterman steps in (and down) where Manchin and Sinema vacated. Honestly, you could not make it up. Hugely disappointing.

A despot surrounded by sycophants totally unsuited to power. It's difficult to decide who's worst: Hegseth, Noem, Rubio... But for my money the most dangerous is Miller. A cold-eyed fanatic who truly believes in this fascist agenda. Truly the Francis Walsingham or Heinrich Himmler of this age.

Yes, by all means support the use of the National Guard to stamp out ‘lawlessness’: dispatch them immediately to the White House to arrest Trump, Vance, and Himmler - oops, I mean Miller.

Outrageous. This is the most egregious of the UK’s past privatisations. There isn’t one instance where this right-wing con has delivered the lower prices or wider choice promised. The case for renationalisation (& criminal prosecutions) is unanswerable. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The tyrannical arrogance from Trump is off the scale. As is the backsliding (from Musk) and the sycophancy (from Vance). An appalling indictment of power and the weaknesses of the US constitution and polity. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I’m very disappointed too - disappointed that they are both using up oxygen. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Disgraceful. Rubio never misses an opportunity to be a bleating sheep. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
