I wonder what the reaction would be if left wing British politicians were paid to appear at conferences in China badmouthing the UK?

Here’s how many billions Elon Musk’s companies are making from U.S. taxpayers

Trump administration’s mass firings could leave federal government with ‘monumental’ bill, say experts.

Trump has done the impossible and turned Canada patriotic

BBC Question Time question: Should Ukrainian refugees be allowed to stay here when the war ends. I say yes if they want to although many will wish to return.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising. He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.

Do you stand behind President Zelenskyy and support Ukraine 🇺🇦 in its fight against Russia? If you do, raise a hand and pass it on! ✋

Trump’s latest unstable rant against Zelensky based on Russian propaganda and entirely false also undermines the basis of deal making he is so proud of. No country will trust America - to USA’s detriment if this continues.

I applaud our PM’s statement offering to put out troops in Ukraine to keep the peace if a fair deal can be achieved

I wonder if other people are getting fed up of the new American government seeking through their statements to interfere with our own internal affairs.

I’m wondering how long the bromance between Trump and Musk will continue - as long as the one between Johnson and Cummings?

🌈 1 in 10 young adults in the UK now identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual! Visibility is growing, but so is the backlash. Progress must be protected—rights aren’t up for debate. 🏳️‍🌈 #LGBT+ 🔗 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Nobody wants open borders but this anti-immigrant legislation will cost $500 million in state funding and will only make our economic problems worse.

Hate doesn’t march in overnight—it sneaks in through apathy. We remembered the Holocaust. Now remember this: History repeats when good people stay silent. The time to resist is NOW. ✊ #NeverAgain #StopFascism

Trying to make political capital on the issue of diversity initiatives then there is no evidence after a fatal air disaster seems pretty low in my opinion. I’ve found that a diverse workforce is more capable and responsive.

Caroline Kennedy, cousin to the current pick for HHS secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, has penned a scathing letter warning senators about her cousin, calling him a "predator." She also says her father and uncle would be "disgusted" by RFK, Jr. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLLx...

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy's letter so everyone is informed about RFK Jr. Please repost far and wide.

🚨 A gay man rejects Trump’s pardon for Jan 6 riots: “I did those things. They weren’t pardonable.” At least someone is taking responsibility—unlike the man who incited it. Actions have consequences. ⚖️ #Jan6 🔗 www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/01/gay-... @lgbtqnation.com

RFK Jr. is far more than just an “anti-vaxxer.” Over the years, he’s made countless outrageous statements on a wide range of topics. We’ve compiled 10 of the wildest clips—though even that barely scratches the surface.

Damning.

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... So Musk turns on his mate even after Farage tried to defend the indefensible. Plenty more toys will be thrown out of Musks pram. Attacking Farage won’t undo him but as McCathy found when he attacked the Military it Is possible to pick the wrong enemy.

Listening to Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Hiawatha a fab recording and would love to see the whole thing performed live as it was over a fortnight annually between the war in the Albert Hall. Perhaps the chorus would not dress as native Americans as they did back then.

One of my Christmas treats is to listen to Victor Hely-Hutchinson’s Carol Symphony. This year after a little internet search I found this fascinating article & do listen to his arrangement of Old Mother Hubbard. richardbratby.co.uk/2017/12/14/v...

Wonderful Christmas Friday Night is Music Night in spite of a dodgy voice microphone at the start and a reedy soloist all was forgiven when they played Coleridge Taylor’s Christmas Overture.
