How the Daily Mail can still think this imbecilic buffoon’s opinion is worth a million pounds a year is beyond me.

Even at the Pope’s funeral Trump ignores the dress code, unlike his wife, demonstrating a vanity and total disregard for others. The most undignified, unpresidential person to occupy the Presidency and a total embarrassment representing the USA.

Morning all. Nationalising all our public services is, of course, preferable but it would cost money the govt currently doesn't have. So this is a good start.

Farage, Badenoch and the US far-right are all lining up to attack people with autism, ADHD and other conditions that indicate people might have special educational needs. The move is sinister, wrong and profoundly worrying. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04...

Just forget appeasing these monsters. We must return to Europe and stop kidding ourselves we can have it all. We did that before and ended up with less than nothing. British politicians who support Trump betray Ukraine, betray us all. (Letter, Times)

It's wild that Europe, the allies the United States joined hands with to stand up against Russia (then doing evil business as the "Soviet Union"), is now having to stand up against the United States for enabling Russia's war crimes.

Robert Jenrick is the latest "famous for being cruel & incompetent" Tory to leverage off that infamy and go for the top job. It's just less "surprising", more "weird" - to see him apply for that role while his boss is still in it. youtu.be/lhMdyeChpuY

Dear BBC, I have a heating system that uses a boiler. It heats radiators and provides hot water. But should we ditch it? Should we get a heat pump? What is a heat pump? Is it like a bicycle pump but hotter? Will it pump up my car tyres? Any chance you could tell me?😂

Worth reminding ourselves, unnamed sources completely missed the closure of NHE England, reform of the WFP and told us the Emplpyment Rights bill was being watered down after pressure fromm employers when the reverse was true.
