THE FINANCIAL TIMES OFFERS A LESSON IN FACTS AGAIN: PAY ATTENTION 47!

Is it just me, or does Pumpkin have a vague resemblance to Bozo Johnson?????

So the Musk babies sacked the nuclear bomb team.... Trump is appeasing Putin and alienating Canada, Mexico, Europe, Mid East etc. Their economy is on a downward trajectory. Isn't buyers remorse setting in yet?? I mean, we got rid of Truss in under two months!!!

It's taken 87 years for another country to overtake the UK in toe curling appeasement to fascist dictators - Peace in Our Time. But the US (or rather Trump) has just overtaken us in the appeasement stakes. With all its military might, it now looks like a rabbit in Putins' headlights.

Well, the kompromat that Putin has on Trump must be bigger than we all thought. Either that or Trump is more incompetent than anyone possibly could have believed.

She will be gone by Christmas. The woman is so bad that it is embarrassing to watch. Mind you, the Tories are likely to wash, rinse, repeat with another dead duck .... Bets on Jenrick, anyone??? Or Patel?

I give it 2 years....

You could see it coming with Trump. He wants to make money from it, personally. He doesn't care about Palestine or, indeed, Isreal. He sees Netanyahu as a pawn in his game to build a tacky casino on the Gazan shores. The Palestinians are just collateral damage. Trouble is, it will lead to war.

Trump is so predictable. Ringing up Jordan and Egypt to ask if they would house the Palestinians whilst..... what? He builds a casino on the beachfront? Builds condos for his chums? What we need is a politician ready to negotiate a two state solution, not a property Ponzi scheme for idiots.

Elon Musk's and X's Role in 2024 Election Interference, a letter from an alleged X whistleblower. "What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations." theconcernedbird.substack.com/p/elon-musks...

Let us hope that the Met now act on the dossier being sent to them.

Anyone else get the feeling its going to be a long, hard 4 years, with an awful lot of "WTF" along the way....?

If someone shows you their true self, believe them the very first time.

Is it just me, or does it really look like she is wearing the Harry Potter Sorting Hat?? Mind you, probably apt, as most of them in Washington are little better than hobgoblins and evil wizards, stirring a pot to see how much money they can skim off the top.....

But you do, kind of, need to know what your enemy is doing. Keeping ahead of them is key!!

And I'm doing Dry January as well......... Not even a crisp, dry glass of wine to spur me on to February.

Give it a year - tariffs, bombastic posturing and a madman as master puppeteer.....

why are so many people in world politics such utter self aggrandising gits? Surely as a world we can do better than this lot of lying, cheating charlatans.

Remind me... which Tory PM crashed the economy??

I don't know, but Trump can call the Gulf of Mexico anything he likes - Edna, or George or whatever. There are 350m americans and 7bn non americans. I know what the 7bn will be calling it.

Andrew Norfolk is the former Times journalist whose work brought the grooming gang scandal to public attention...

The Muskrat is a known business "disruptor". He is a one trick pony, thinking he can do that with countries - Denmark, UK, Germany, Canada etc. What he will succeed in doing, however, is demoralising business and then buying up companies on the cheap. Watch this man - he is dangerous.

This is the whole reason for Brexit. Do away with min wage, time off, any worker right, and you have a cheap workforce leading to higher profits for the few. With the Muskrat running the show in the US it is time for much closer alignment with EU.

The more you know

Amazing how short some right wing memories are… news.sky.com/video/boris-...

Just popped over to the dark side. The Muskrat sure does run a dirty ship.

See Musky is starting to realise that you can't fool all of the people all of the time. Monetary power and political power are not the same. Hard life lesson that!!

Over my dead body, and probably 50m others as well. No offence, America, but I like pavements, trains, tea, NHS, and decent politicians.

Oh, I don’t know, but I reckon that if the cap fits, then perhaps Musky ought to accept the insult.

Maybe we could start a whip-round of European citizens to help make the payment!!

Really couldn’t happen to a more deserving pair….!

When will Arsenal buy a flipping striker????

So many words skirting round the answer. The simple answer is CU/SM ASAP.

Trouble is he now wants to buy uk

At what point are the Russian People going to say - he ain't no Messiah, and get rid? I was in Moscow when McDonalds opened for the first time, and you could see the people yearned for change - they want a better life.

So Badenoch thinks Starmers joke about McDonalds is racist..... Lame, yes, not funny, yes, daft, yes but racist?? Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

Nobody, but nobody is talking about abortion at home, so what is this poisonous toad talking about?? What people are talking about at home is why is the UK in the doldrums and when are we going to join CU/SM/EU. Maybe Reform could bring that to the HoC.

Jeez

So.... let me get this straight - if over a decade ago, you lose a phone & find it again you lose your job, but if you repeatedly kick your girlfriend & are prosecuted then that is ok you don't lose your job, or if you hack a website over a decade ago that is also ok & you don't lose your job. Hmm

People in glass houses......

I stupidly popped over to the dark side this morning. There is a discussion going on about using Ivermectin to cure cancer. My god some people are daft

Family includes everyone! ❤️

Trump just wants to dismantle government. I think the wheels will fall off this Bus when he gets to defence spending. The US is a country that spends so much on defence, any changes will send shock waves thru their munitions industry.

I had to pay inheritance tax on my parents' estate when they passed. I fail to understand why, if you grow a few hundred tons of spuds, you don't have to pay it. I would have loved to have had my parents' house, but I couldn't because tax was due on it. Are farmers wanting a two tier tax state?

Farmers want us to forget that before 1984 they were subject to inheritance taxes. I have very little sympathy as the tax will hit those with the most, not those with the least.
