UK: this is like the awful 2016 Referendum all over again. Leaving hasn't worked, polls suggest. Yet the very same demographics have opted for its architects. 'Thick', 'stupid' and 'turkeys voting for Christmas' don't really cover it.

UK: predictable but still depressing set of results, which shows electoral fragmentation as well as the stupidity and malleability of enough voters. Reform and Tories together will get 47%. A satanic pact even if unofficial personalities presently atop both neofascist parties, is inevitable.

The London Library: sadly, yet another ageist employer when it comes to recruitment.

I sincerely hope that Rubio (Sycophant number 2) is sent home with his tail between his legs on Thursday, but this is very reminiscent of The Godfather. Does Leo have a horse? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Opposite of ‘recommend’ to YouTube, who’ve just demonetised my brother’s website on grounds of ‘inauthentic content’. His content was original and he worked into small hours on script & images - all for princely sum of 8 euros, on average, a week. Give this bunch of AI robots a very wide berth.

Didn’t take Leavitt long to jump into the cesspool did it?

This folly of a tour, like Trump‘s second State Visit to the UK, is a terrible, terrible mistake. Shame on the UK government for its cowardice, naivety, and arrogance. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Sorry, zero sympathy from here for any Trump administration officials or press lapdogs in attendance. Reap what is sown, etc. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As succinct a denunciation of Trump as an evil man as any I’ve read. What does it say about the Republican Party and about the amoral, vicious, lazy and stupid 77.3m who voted for him - in some cases for a third time? Nothing good. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I vastly prefer this AI image of the Messiah, here with Jesus…

Sadly, there is no chance of this SCOTUS stepping up and doing what’s necessary. Roberts, Alito, Thomas, and the three stooges, all enabled Trump. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What a sycophantic toe-rag this man is. Morality inevitably segues into politics, relationships between people in terms of power - especially in matters of life and death. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The only ‘LANDSLIDE’ Trump deserves to be involved in is the one that buries him for good. He was narrowly elected (alas, with a plurality) in the popular vote and had an average margin in the Electoral College.

Even by Trump's subsewer standards, the AI depiction of him as Christ healing the sick is a new low. The fact that there's been zero criticism from the RC Church and that Marjorie Taylor Greene represents sanity in all this tells you all you need to know. Pitiful.

Disheartening but unsurprising that 55% of Catholics voted for this in 2024. The propensity of the religiously devout to perform moral somersaults never ceases to depress. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

I normally agree with Simon Tisdall, but not on this - and he must know it's a complete flight of wishful fantasy. The whole visit is a terrible, terrible mistake, and KC3 will say nothing of the kind.

Come on Hungary, complete the week’s work and make Vance look even more useless...

Least surprising event in a volatile week. Cowards. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This does Trump too many favours. He’s an evil, narcissistic, vain and shallow psychopath with no intellectual depth or ‘plan‘ whatsoever. Idi Amin is a better comparison than Nixon. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Brassnecked liar. If this isn’t interference, then I’m the next pope. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Shame on the voters in MTG’s former district in Georgia. Predictable, but shame.

in the UK, the Iran war is making everything more expensive, but some companies are cashing in. Don't think that's right? Sign the petition now demanding they are taxed more on their record profits to help us all with the cost of living. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ra...

Even more than Trump, Squeaker Mike Johnson deserves impeachment. He’s been a courtier, craven coward, sycophant and partisan hypocrite throughout. Of course he’ll be reelected in LA. Like Taylor Greene’s district in GA, it’s blind, Pavlov’s dog-tribalism.

Shame on the voters in MTG’s former district in Georgia. Predictable, but shame.

Absolutely pathetic performance by Republicans. But will it cost them? Of course not - starting with the election of a Trump-supporting ‘yes sir no sir’ muppet in MTG’s former district today.

Just watched A House of Dynanite: brilliant update of the superb Fail Safe, itself a sober counterpart to Dr Strangelove. This fool is operating below the par set by Sellers's characterisation of the US president. More like his character in Being There. Without the naive benevolence.

Bondi: obnoxious bimbo airhead no. 2 makes their exit. Two down, thousands to go...

Birthright: SCOTUS seemed sceptical. Maybe 5-4 for sanity. Alito and Thomas would back restoration of slavery if Trump asked. But we know exactly why this was brought: 2026 and after - to deny non-white people the vote, on the grounds that they’re less likely to be Republicans.

… And now NATO. And still little Rubio bleats like the careerist unprincipled coward, sycophant and hypocrite that he is. There is no end to the fuckwittery that 77.3m idiots, and worse, unleashed.

Well, of course. This government faces no consequence despite being essentially a terrorist state - Netanyahu and thugs Ben-Gvir and Smotrich would be on trial in any civilised system. But half the UK cabinet are 'Friends of Israel' and that state 'has a right to defend itself'. As for the US…

King Charles State Visit: totally, totally wrong. In the face of Trump administration insults, its makes the UK look even more weak, pathetic and needy than it actually is. Another disastrous wrongheaded misjudgement by Starmer’s government.
