'Neither Washington nor Moscow' used to be a well-known far left slogan. And it remains entirely valid today.

Trump is the last person on earth who can credibly 'uphold democratic legitimacy'

OK, so Britain might have 354,000 homeless, 1.8m unemployed and 3.8m hungry kids. But on the upside, the FTSE-100 index hit an all-time high this morning.

Shocked to see that Nadine Dorries has been denied a peerage in the New Year's Honours list. Again.

2025 will surpass 2024 as the deadliest and most violent year for children in conflict since UN monitoring began

The Tories are very concerned about ancient Tweets from a UK national Egyptian democracy activist. But happy to dish out a knighthood to billionaire Mohamed Mansour - a minister during the Mubarak dictatorship - after he gave them a £5m donation.

More than 340 people became billionaires in 2025, roughly one per day and the most ever in a single year. And nine million people died from hunger.

They say the monarchy a tourist attraction. So is Legoland, and it doesn't get an annual £90m subsidy from the taxpayer.

The monarchy is not 'a symbol of national unity'. It's a symbol of Britain's deeply entrenched class divisions.

Frankly, if the worst the rich have got to complain about is VAT on public school fees and a ban on fox hunting, they're doing pretty bloody well

First they make NHS dentistry unavailable. Then they attack working class people for having bad teeth.

If the BBC gave Nigel Farage his own weekly television and a £400,000 a year salary, he'd probably stop attacking them

Michelle Mone's company PPE Medpro has been wound up without repaying the £122m it owes for ripping off the NHS. But luckily, she gets to keep the private jet and the superyacht.

If the Daily Mail backs Reform UK at the next election, it will be the first time it hasn't supported the Conservative Party since it came out in favour of the British Union of Fascists

Lord Rothermere's wife has donated £50,000 to Reform UK. I wonder which party the Daily Mail will endorse at the next election.

Rupert Lowe is right to point out that large parts of London are no-go areas. For anyone earning less than £150,000 a year, that is.

Since Starmer became leader, Labour's membership has seen a departure every seven minutes. Management at Euston station should ask him how he does it.

An hour's hard graft has to worth a poxy £15 and anybody who says different is a dirty rotten so and so. That's the end of that particular debate, really.

£5 for a bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk, £8 for a jar of Nescafe, £12 for a bottle of olive oil. And then Badenoch says the minimum wage shouldn't go up this year.

Not only should the minimum wage be increased, but it should be increased again. And then increased some more.

Kemi Badenoch is right to remind us that the last Tory government created wealth. It's just that all of it went to the 1%, while everybody else experienced the longest period of falling living standards in 200 years.

I've just learned that Tory anti-immigration hardliner Robert Jenrick has an immigrant wife. But it's OK, she's white.

The only meaningful definition of 'making working pay' is increasing the minimum wage. Cutting benefits is just cutting benefits.

Cutting benefits doesn't 'incentivise work'. But it does penalise and humiliate people on benefits, and that's the real point.

Why isn't non-dom status reclassified as a benefit? Then we could start cracking down on the real big league benefit scroungers.

'We can get cheaper food, boost growth and create jobs by having a closer relationship with the EU,' says Keir Starmer. So I googled to find out what this 'EU' thingie is and it sounds like a pretty good idea. Britain should seriously consider applying for full membership.

Labour has announced a crackdown on benefit fraud. Just like the Tories in 1992. And Labour in 1997. And the coalition in 2013. And the Tories in 2023. And Labour last year. Wash, rinse, repeat.

There are three things Rachel Reeves should bear in mind tomorrow: obscene wealth doesn't 'trickle down', tax cuts don't 'pay for themselves' and the private sector isn't 'more efficient'

British five-year-olds are up to 7cm shorter than children of the same age in Europe, with experts suggesting poor nutrition is responsible. Yes, it bloody well is time the two-child benefit cap was scrapped.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

To be fair to Nigel Farage, Reform UK has always insisted that the European parliament is corrupt. And now the party has finally provided indisputable proof.

A Labour leadership contest between Starmer and Streeting would be meaningless. Party members deserve a genuine choice of direction.

Britain's utility, water and rail privatisation provide proof that only one outcome is possible when you put your cats in charge of a jug of cream

Highlighting the surging inequaility between the super-rich and everybody else isn't 'exploiting divisions'. It's simply pointing the divisions out.

Robin Hood robbed from the rich to give to the poor, despite an exodus of barons to the Middle East. So obviously it can be done.

The more Labour moves to the right, the lower it sinks in the polls. Surely it can't be long before its election-winning genius strategists put two and two together?

Or to put Camilla Tominey's point another way, 99.7% of millionaires haven't left Britain

The number of millionaires in Britain is growing ten times faster than the number of millionaires leaving the country. Not that you'd know that from commentators propagating the 'wealth flight' myth.

When a Labour government sees the approval of Tommy Robinson as more important that the approval of the Labour Party membership, things are probably going wrong

Ousted Syrian dictator Bashar al Assad has £55m in a London bank account. Syrians asylum seekers arriving in Britain with a few gold bangles could soon have them confiscated.

How is it even possible to contrive a housing crisis in a country with a million empty homes?

If Shabana Mahmood wants to talk about what's 'tearing Britain apart', let's start with billionaire tax evasion, the cost of living crisis, overflowing prisons, sewage spilling into rivers and streets full of people sleeping rough

I'll tell you who's 'holding Britain to ransom'. It's 156 billionaires, not 77,000 resident doctors.

Plumbers are worth £90 an hour, corporate lawyers are billed at £1000 an hour. Resident doctors deserve £22.

Universal Credit allows bosses to get away with paying wages that are too low to live on. Don't stigmatise the millions of hard-working people who depend on it as 'lazy'.

Nigel Farage will probably use his 39th appearance on Question Time to complain about the BBC's leftwing bias

Rightwingers are not 'forced to pay for the BBC'. But lefties really are forced to pay for nuclear weapons, religious schools and the royal family.

The man with the job of enforcing impartiality at the BBC is former head of comms to a rightwing Tory prime minister. Let's leave it there, OK?

Is Donald Trump seriously trying to claim he didn't urge an insurrection to overturn the democratic outcome of the 2020 US presidential election? OK, let's test that one in court.

The Murdoch press is complaining about BBC bias. That's the very definition of foolish bravado.
