The so called proposed plan between Russia and Ukraine is an absolute farce and clearly a Russian ploy. Another example of how bungling the entire Trump regime is in handling serious topics. The only fair peace plan is Russia withdrawing from all occupied land and paying reparations to Ukraine.

Do me a favor and forward this post.This needs to get out to everyone. We need to be unified.

The Odd Couple (2025 remake)

Sorry but is Trump being more supportive of Mayor Elect Mandani than Hakeem Jeffries?

Unfortunately my mum threw away my comics, including the first fifty odd editions of TV 21. (Probably only of interest to 60+ year old Brits) And they wouldn’t have fetched $9 million! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

These words are more important than ever now …

All the beleaguered and genuinely dedicated journalists left at WaPo must feel terrible their owner sucks up to Trump. Particularly on this day as Trump cruelly dismisses the horrific murder of their former colleague as ‘things happen.’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

To all my former IT colleagues, today is yet another day I’m glad I’ve retired …

There is no way FEMA can do any meaningful work if it’s run by idiots, this is the second to leave under Trump. There is also no way it will be successful if the major work and cost is put back to the individual states. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

So after nearly six months of *literally* doing everything he could to hinder progress, Trump has now bizarrely called for Republicans to vote for the release of the ‘Epstein files.’ So that means - either the DOJ has expunged all evidence of the President or he’s not on the right meds …

Us Brits are doing are bit to spread the word …

So Trump is stopping tariffs on certain food items … because the countries concerned have complained that they don’t want to ‘pay’ these tariffs anymore? Or am I once again missing something important?

So now your president wants to destroy our media as well as yours. $1-5 billion is his Austin Power’s’ absurd number. And for what? A one year old documentary that included a clumsy edit (it should have had a fade, wipe or a time stamp.) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Am I missing something? Trump has said that a vote to release the Epstein files will be viewed as a ‘hostile act.’ But his blonde propagandist says it’s a Democratic hoax and Trump has claimed he is not in the files. So why is he trying to stop their release? As I said, what am I missing?

The UK has a rather dim view of Musk …

What does this decision by SCOTUS say about their morality and of the Trump regime? Having granted Trump absurd power and immunity so he can destroy USAID and murder 600,000 overseas so far, they now seem to be doing it to their own citizens. On what must be a technicality they stop SNAP payments.

It’s shocking that the Trump regime is now saying SNAP payments will only resume once the government shutdown is resolved. But equally shocking is a country that thought it was a good idea to have a way, through a set of rules, of shutting itself down.

“Elon Musk just got $1tn for failure. Sales are down, safety risks are up, and his politics are driving customers away. This isn’t leadership – it’s the world’s most expensive participation trophy,” Tesla Takedown www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Because Europeans and the UK expects this stuff. That’s why it’s nothing outrageous. We also don’t have hundreds of millions of guns in our country and only about 25 fatal shootings a YEAR. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I don’t really want to give any advice to spineless Republicans, but if you don’t start pushing back against the dear leader you may not win many elections in the future. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

I hope yesterday’s success across the board is the end of the beginning of America’s nightmare. Now it’s onward to the mid-terms and beyond. And when this evil regime is defeated the single most important action to take, is to ensure a single corrupt politician could never do it again.

Congratulations to Mayor Elect Mamdani on his victory. In London our Mayor, Sadiq Khan, is on his third term looking after our our city. Wishing New York every success for the future. Some words for your new mayor from ours … time.com/7330596/zohr...

Could someone explain to a simpleton like myself in which reality Elon Musk is worth a $1 Trillion pay deal? Tesla has a P/E ratio of 120 or higher (a sales slump in 2025 and fully self-driving cars promised for 10 years) www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

4️⃣0️⃣

Every 6 hours on average, 30 Americans die from gunfire. That’s the total number that die each YEAR in the UK from gun violence. So forgive me for not understanding why you need silencers, short barrel rifles and vintage machine guns to ‘protect yourself.’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

As I said, potentially dangerous and stupid. Thank goodness no injuries resulted from this obvious act to sabotage No Kings.

Good news for free speech in the UK and peaceful protests against genocide. And hopefully the 2,000 people arrested can get justice. (Close to a 1,000 of which are pensioners, some in their late 70’s and 80’s) www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I’m definitely in favour of encouraging students to study STEM subjects. But we also need students in the arts and humanities. And to say studying your native language to degree level is a ripoff, shows Ms Badenoch is a moronic philistine. She joins a long list in her party.

And in other news, Stephen Miller has announced he’s appearing in the next season of RuPaul's Drag Race.

This is truly appalling. They were eventually let go. Can they sue?

This might be out of date in hours if he gets the Nobel Peace Prize. And if he does, what does that mean for all the other Nobel Laureates? Trump has acted like a toddler demanding ice cream. And if he doesn’t get it - Norway will be the ‘enemy’ of America www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Finally the mainstream media is talking daily about Trump’s mental and physical health. It’s only taken them about 6 or 7 years to catch up what everyone in independent media (and a couple of hundred psychiatrists) have been saying. Now members of the GOP in Congress have to face the facts and act

It’s encouraging in these worrying times to hear these optimistic words from the Congresswoman.

This is amazing stuff.

Could someone explain exactly why this is ‘politically motivated and baseless’? Did the FBI film him taking $50,000? Where is the cash now? Who knew and when did they know? Who made the decision to drop the investigation? What happens now? Just asking … www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Mike Johnson said this kind of rhetoric is highly inflammatory and incites people.

It’s young people like this wonderful young lady that gives me hope for the future.

“The MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it” Jimmy Kimmel - sacked “Involuntary lethal injection or something, just kill ’em” Brian Kilmeade - not sacked

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents. But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

The order came from above. Trump’s FCC stooge Brendan Carr: “this sort of status quo is not acceptable”

ABC: What a disgrace. Taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air for this: “We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it.”

As someone said once, You are born with love - you have to be taught hate.

There are just too many great scenes from Butch Cassidy to have a favourite. A brilliant witty script by the great writer William Goldman. But this is worth a watch in the week we morn the passing of Robert Redford and remember his equally fabulous co-star Paul Newman. m.youtube.com/watch?v=1IbS...

A brilliant but shocking post from Joy. And when you listen to her sum up what Trump and the GOP have done in under 9 months, it’s heartbreaking to see the destruction to your country. America has been reset in time to before I was born in the early 1950’s.

I’ve always thought that one of the weaknesses of your American democracy is that the party in opposition, has no clear leader or policy mandate. In Britain the Leader of the Opposition with their cabinet, have far more sway in affairs than any US equivalent.
