If they don’t renegotiate EU customs union then Starmer isn’t serious about getting our finances in order.

That’s how corruption works.

@fifaclubworldcup.bsky.social has always been suspect but “Jonny” is in his element with Trump, where corruption is the name of the game. # FIFA.

Very worrying this acceptance that we will be at war with Russia in the very near future. Another response to Trumps re-election.

Canada picks Canada, Mexico picks Mexico and USA picks USA. Not set up then?

He calls him Jonny!

This is embarrassing

I think pretty much everyone now realises BREXIT was a disaster . So why are we flocking to vote Reform which is full of ex Tories and those that gave us Brexit? Why are we voting for a party that will merge with the Conservative Party ? Can we be that stupid?

Crypto currency funding Reform. Reform agreeing to ease restrictions on Crypto firms. 400 “Safety Workers” have left TikTok . X is a swamp. OFCOM seems powerless to regulate on line content. But the right wing are attacking the BBC. Daily Mail owners giving money to Reform. See where this is going?

Crypto-investor who lives in Thailand gives record-breaking donation to Reform UK, to help it win power in a country he doesn't live in. Britain's political funding laws are a charred and smoking ruin. Ducking change was a catastrophic mistake by Labour. www.ft.com/content/db73...

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether. He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors

And another donation from the ultra rich and powerful. Our Politics is being bought by rich people and vested interests. If you don’t see it it’s cause you don’t want to.

So Reform is being funded by billionaires from over seas but its main policy is to keep foreigners out of the country? Hmm ???

Racism seems to be in the very DNA of Reform and anti immigration is its biggest vote winner. So work it out.

The wording in Labour’s manifesto about not increasing income tax is clear that it applies to “rates”, for “working people” at least. It doesn’t explicitly mention the thresholds at which income tax rates apply. According to Full Facts.

Austerity hurts. Investment would have a greater impact. More than half of the courts in England and Wales were closed between 2010 and 2019.

#Reform again!

Do we really want masked thugs patrolling our streets?

And we are gonna let these people into the #NHS? Palantir is valued at 4x that of Lockheed. Its head is the hawkish Alex Karp. In a review of a new biography by Michael Steinberger it. notes that it is partly Karp’s image as an outsider that has helped Palantir dominate weapons of the future.

Oh dear. Not the news the Govt wanted but inevitable.

The issue about the Chancellor and her budget is complicated but: Hasn’t she gone and reinforced the stereo type about untrustworthy politicians ? No matter the rights and wrongs, Starmer’s Labour hasn’t done anything to restore trust in our systems. No wonder people are looking elsewhere !

The Daily Mail is upset about lying? Do they understand Irony?

The Overton window is a model that describes the range of ideas the public is willing to consider and accept as politically acceptable at a given time.

Just caught a bit of #BBCNews where there was a suggestion that the Budget will put a 3p per mile charge on EV’s as well as having to pay vehicle tax. Is it worth the bother of buying an EV ?

Where are they now?

Still asking.

Those who claim now that it's easy to be wise in hindsight are being disingenuous. Many, many of us spoke out at the time - begging & begging the government to act - and it's all in the public record. Nurse on the Covid front line.

It seems the Yanks have conceded that the original peace plan for Ukraine was written by the Russians. Did we ever think that would be possible?

Well done to England Batters! What a shambles !!!

So Trump is now saying Mamdani will do a good job? He has put a peace plan forward for Ukraine which is ‘pro Russian’. He has put a peace plan for Gaza which doesn’t consult the Palestinians. Does he understand international diplomacy ?

Gosh, what a coincidence !

Good luck to the Mayor of New York when he meets The Orange President today. I’m sure he knows how important it is to show dignity in the face of a man who calls people names when he gets annoyed. #ZohranMamdani

Shabana Mahmood Mahmood identifies as belonging to the more socially conservative Blue Labour faction of the Labour Party.

Where’s Wally?

Reforms only Senedd representative. A member of the Senedd will be suspended for two weeks because of comments that she made in a private WhatsApp group which included a racial slur.

Ultra processed foods: In the UK and US these foods now comprise more than half of people’s diets, while purchases of UPFs in Spain and South Korea have nearly trebled in the past 30 years. (The Lancet).

Look who’s involved …..Again

One rule for the rich? Wimbledon is due to receive an exemption from new UK rules that prevent sport and music tickets from being resold for a profit. The carve-out will apply to the tournament’s debentures, which guarantee the holder a premium seat on the two main courts for every day.

"No people ever recognize their dictator in advance. He always represents himself as the instrument of the national will. When our dictator turns up, you can depend on it —he will be one of the boys."

I’m still waiting. I was told it would be a year!

On Starmer’s watch? Another howler?

Interesting to watch a #Tory party political broadcast on TV and they seem to forget that for 14 years they ran the country and they cut funding for everything . Now they seem to think underfunded services are someone else’s fault .

Steve Bannon Offered Trump’s MAGA as Shield for Jeffrey Epstein – Byline Times bylinetimes.com/2025/11/14/s... There’s more to this than meets the eye!

On line sports gambling drives me nuts. It packs the space between “Lad” programmes. My Bother was a gambling addict so I saw the damage first hand. Tax it to the hilt!!

www.facebook.com/share/p/16Lk... Everyone who cares about the Fire Service should be supporting their Firefighters at this time. They are yet again being attacked by central Government in a sustained and “Coordinated “ manner. Lives could be lost.

Streeting is hopeless?
