Suggested plan for non-right UK parties: 1: Try making decisions / polices based on what is ‘morally right’ NOT what advisors say might win votes at the next election 2: Don’t be cunts. You won’t out-cunt Reform/Tories. Cunt voters won’t believe you and you will lose non-cunt voter trust.

He’s got away with untold crimes, lies & offences. He’s achieved the highest office in the land. Twice. He’s lining his pockets on an industrial scale & persecuting his enemies for fun. But he’s still a miserable, bitter, humourless & furious man. Because deep inside, he knows exactly who he is.

Robert Peston, "Carney stands up to Trump.. Keir Starmer is placating Trump, which is better?" Geoffrey Hinton, "Mark Carney's approach is the right approach. Trump is a bully. If you stand up to bullies, you might get somewhere" "Trying to placate bullies. That sounds like 1938 to me"

So it's a blanket 10% tariff on top of 25% on car makers and 25% on steel and aluminium. This is alongside the trade barriers put up by Brexit. It is pathetic to see Labour and Tory MPs trying to spin this as a victory it's clear we will all lose out. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

So, Le Pen gets banned from running for election because she’s found guilty of embezzlement and her far-right fanclub starts huffing and puffing about whether this is democratic. Err. Yes. If you’re found guilty of corruption, you’re unfit for public office. It doesn’t matter how ‘popular’ you are.

It’s only embezzlement if it’s from the Embézzle region of France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling corruption.

Our govt and the Tories say they want a deal with Trump to avoid tariffs (and to try to assert some desperate Brexit ‘benefit’) Not sure it’s ever been quite so screamingly obvious that the deal we need is with the EU and not this vengefully deranged and dangerous MAGA outfit.
