The West has to come to terms with the fact that the US is not an ally anymore. The US has to come to terms that the next President will have to dedicate years to regaining trust.

Can we, at last, agree that the UK-American "special relationship" was only ever a conceit and is now thankfully over?

Dear USA. Nothing personal, but we don't trust you, don't believe in you. Trump will cost you your post war legacy, such as it was.

Reversing Brexit would take too long, and would be painful. However, there can be no doubt that closer links with the EU should be pursued over links with the US, which is proving less trustworthy every day.

Trump. My God, I thought I loathed him before he started his disgusting DEI rhetoric over the aircrash.

Labours problem is that the working classes dont trust the middle classes. And as the Labour Party concentrates on middle class causes and concerns, the vacuum caused is ready for populists like Farage to exploit. Exactly the same issue in the US, France and Germany. #radicalrethinkneeded

So delighted Labour won. But they won on an anti tory vote, fuelled by tory incompetence, tory austerity measures and the tories refusal to listen. Fucks sake, this is unbelievably bad.

At the very least, the Church of England bishops need to be removed from the House of Lords. If a church can't lead on issues of morality, it has no right to continue.

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss. She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’ Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️

The problem with the liberal left is we stopped listening to the working classes. We ridicule questions and attitudes toward immigration and socially progressive issues. We left a vacuum to which the extreme right gladly stepped into.

Given the election of Trump, could this be a positive for the UK long term? It will precipitate much closer ties with the EU including defence. Maybe this will stop us from bending over for the US all the time.

Unless your chosen Uni demands certain grades, A level grades will stop mattering one minute after you move on. Employers may ask for an A level pass, but generally a good covering letter and well prepared CV will get you interviewed. Then it's down to you. I forgot my grades years ago

Crystal Palace have been clear from the start. They don't want to sell Guehi. Unless you pay the 65 mill, he ain't moving. We are looking like amateurs now, being shown up by Crystal fucking Palace. Pay them what they want or move on.

Crystal Palace want to keep Guehi. They wont negotiate down on a player they don't need to sell. We either need to pay it or move on. NUFC approach to buying is too slow, and why we always end up without our targets. #NUFC #Guehi

US political rallies are bloody awful. I thought the UK ones were patronising and toe curlingly cheesy.

When the history of the Tory Party's decline from 2015 onwards is written, I very much hope much of the analysis will dwell upon the sheer number of their MPs who turned out to be crackpot fuckwits as a principle cause.
