No one should be surprised that Putin does not want to allow European troops in Ukraine, because this villain remembers very well how Prigozhin was able to advance towards Moscow almost unhindered in 2023. He would shit his pants if well-armed German tank divisions were stationed in Ukraine...

I note with interest right-wing media's total absence of any concerns about prominent BBC presenter Armstrong expressing his highly political opinions. As was always perfectly clear to many of us, the problem was not that Lineker had views, but the fact they didn't approve of his views.

There is an alternative to Government welfare cuts - a 2% tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach to tax - take more from the few not the many.

Farage is a preening, self-regarding little prince of a man and not a serious politician, and he's also got an ego the size of Buster Gonads balls. Of course, everything he leads eventually collapses into petty disarray and animosity. This is 2025, not 1546.

NEW: Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe reported to police by party over alleged threats of physical violence against party chair Zia Yusaf - and has also been accused of bullying staff. He denies claims, which come just 24 hours after he called Nigel Farage the “messianic” leader of a protest party.

Remarkable intervention from the Ukrainian ambassador to London saying that Trump and Putin are together “destroying” the world order “Because we see, it’s not just the axis of evil and Russia trying to revise the world order – but the US is finally destroying this order."

Why the need to keep punishing people for poor political decisions? Time - particularly now - to correct those decisions, remove ruinous red lines and breathe life into the economy again. There is no mandate at all to continue with Austerity in order to protect Brexit. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Etymology of the day: ‘book’ comes from an ancient root shared by ‘beech’, a wood that people used for engraving inscriptions. ‘Paper’ comes from ‘papyrus’, and ‘volume’ is from the Latin for a ‘roll’ of parchment. Happy World Book Day.
