So far as I can see, criticism of Starmer boils down to a wish that Trump were not President and that UK didn't have to deal with US. We all wish it. It's sadly not so. We're in the same car. He's driving. The aim is to keep him engaged, get him to slow down. The aim is not to crash. That's it. 1/2

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

One of the Monkees once told me that his hen was a French champion egg-layer. I didn't believe him, and said if it was true I would personally craft him a woven honey making insect. Then I saw Oeuf Ace. Now I'm a Bee Weaver.

The world's richest man - perhaps the richest man who has ever lived - gloating about shutting down aid for the world's poorest people. All while posing as the champion of the common man. The great lie of populism in its most naked and morally putrid form.

Must watch interview. Ed Davey calls for a customs union with the EU to grow the UK economy And Laura Kuenssberg ends up making the case for why the UK should be in a customs union with the EU, without realising it 🤷‍♂️ This is a gold standard interview by @eddavey.libdems.org.uk 👏 Part 1 of 7

My wife and I and a couple of friends cherish the phrase ‘trouser-related mishaps’ which appeared in a news item about domestic accidents many years ago. Trouser-related mishaps. It’s a three word poem that sums up beautifully the human condition.
