'Starmer is toast. But the dark forces that brought him to power are as strong as ever' I know they've got pages to fill and they are drunk on the extent of their influence but any chance they could get real for a minute and just leave this govt to get on with the job without all of this crap.

Where is the coordinated response from decent,normal ,patriotic Americans in response to their country turning into an authoritarian fascist state.Everything the US stands for is being shredded and the world order is in dire peril aswell.Why does it feel like there is no united opposition to it.

Even though Jenrick and Farage are 100% on record as not rating or trusting each other,our deeply flawed electorate are going to prove how gullible and stupid they are by ignoring the fact that Reform is also full of proven failed Tories and vote for them as some sort of plausible change.Hopeless

There are a choice of responses to racists,you either stand up to their ignorance or you do what this govt seems to be doing in sounding like you're making changes because of their influence.We know the system needs fixing but we dont need the language of surrender to racists to go with it. Weak.

Disgusting dishonest rag that is literally destroying this country with its bare faced corrupt lies.

More performative so called Opposition from the Tories today with an irrelevant emergency debate on the sacking of Mandelson.Why have they even got time for this when there must be so many more serious issues for them to legislate on that actually make a difference to the people who elected them.

What are the media scared of? Why was there no coverage of Ed Davey's excellent letter yesterday. Musk is a disgusting outrage and needs to be called out and stopped immediately. Absolutely under no circumstances should he be allowed to geta licence to become a UK energy supplier for starters.

Why are so called ordinary people not insulted by our national flag being debased and demeaned by this moronic and disgusting people who think they express their love for their children by demonising,othering and conflating whole groups of people with criminality without justified reason. Shameful

Online Safety Bill :More of this 'truthful and honest calling out' from Labour please before we sleep walk into the gullible being gaslit into thinking Reform and Farage are anything other than disgusting racist divisive bigots.Its a stain on this country that they're anywhere near serious politics.

This strike sounds very cynical and totally unsupportive of what this government are trying to do specifically with the NHS but what will be even worse will be the dishonest and corrupt attempts of the Tories and the totally bent media to blame the government for the greed of the Resident doctors.

Pro Palestinian vandalism=Should've be dealt with via existing law not prescribing them as terrorists This is the latest example of this well meaning govt showing their incompetence/inexperience. Winter Fuel=threshold too high followed by threshold too low. Welfare reform= badly thought out.

New Left wing party?At best might wake a few people up if we're lucky, but the media cynically and silently stranglehold the public consensus and vested interests behind the media will never allow a morality and conscience driven party(anti war,anti poverty,anti capitalist etc)to be taken seriously

More embarrassing half hearted performative objections and criticisms of what the Govt are trying to do from the B team Tories Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride . They're not even trying to pretend to be plausible any more. Transparently terrible.

What happened to the time when a President of the US even referring to a state Governor in such disrespectful and childish terms would have brought universal shame and opprobium on him. How were the standards allowed to literally disappear and thereby open the gateway to this bare naked fascism?

Are we really doing this @bbcnews.bsky.social ? legitimising and pandering to far Right rioting,racism and bigotry by telling them they can rest easy because the Liverpool attacker was a white male? Shameful and impossible not to feel that this is a win for the thugs and their political puppeteers.

@garylineker = 100% Class Act.

Absolutely shameful and emabarrassingly corrupt British press. They aided and abetted Brexit with their disgusting dishonesty and irresponsibility and they're ready to go again at misrepresenting what the government are trying to do to undo the Brexit damage.Bent

Unhelpful of those people playing politics with the serious issue of racism by trying to conflate Starmer's attempt to establish a workable immigration system with the white supremacist bigotry of Enoch Powell. Nit-picking and playing smart Instead of standing together against out and out racists

Truly amazing achievement by @holliedoyle1in surpassing the fine winners total of @hayleyturner123 (24 seasons) but doing it in only 12 seasons. Hollie's career and strike rate stands comparison with ANY jockey from the last 25 years. Congratulations!

...............I'm waiting for the corrupt media and the Tories and Reform to start trying to gaslight the public into believing that the US trade deal is a bad thing ... because you know they will. Just a matter of how.

Ending double taxation of Indians here on temporary work visas just as we do for many other countries (including US, EU, etc) is "two-tier taxation". Ignorance, racism, cynical opportunism, or all three?

PMQs is a total insult to everyone's intelligence. Childish back and forth point scoring and totally contradictory versions of what is happening in the country. We need a factual update of what the government is doing and constructive questions from the opposition not this shameful farce.

Why is the creep(for even reputable news sources like the BBC)towards utter speculation and getting the public 'at it' in the total absence of any facts hinting at 'dark deeds' behind the Heathrow fire.Its very irresponsible.Guessing is not news and cheap sensationalism is no substitute for facts.

Diversity, equity and inclusion and critical race theory were all about challenging the biases that individuals, organizations and institutions have against minorities. Only people who ignore history, or worse, want to repeat its worst chapters, would be against that.

I hope the general consensus that Starmer's Trump visit was a success is correct but everyone seems to be overlooking the Trump factor which means he talks off of the top of his head eg ' Zelensky is a dictator' then a week later he forgets /denies he said it .The proof of the pudding.....

Anybody any the wiser after that stream of trademark illogical rambling hyperbole,empty flattery,waffle bullshit and nonsense brain flatulence from Trump ? Me niether.

I understand how soft power works but there's something mortifyingly demeaning about how this is being deployed.

If any more evidence was needed that the world order that we have taken for granted for a lifetime is in critical peril this kind of gaslighting is it. The question is now what can be done about it and by whom.

Predictable ally for Vance than the Mail to amplify his ridiculous attempt to gaslight the gullible with his populist nonsense garbage about threats to Freedom of Speech being a bigger threat than Russian imperialism or dirty tricks for our democracy.Sleepwalking the dumb into voting Far right.

Please share with Dem Leaders!

I'm not holding my breath waiting for the so called Active Club England to disassociate itself from this sick toxic vile nonsense in the ITN expose. They prey on the inevitable sick misfits hiding in the shadows of and literally radicalised by the normalisation of Farage, Tate.Reform,GB News etc

"Daddy says he owns you. Can you get me an ice cream?"

Love this. The American Supertanskiii

“While other media accounts have detailed several key moments in the blitzkrieg on USAID, this article provides new details about what Trump and Musk’s lieutenants did… In addition to the Privacy Act… the administration may have broken other laws while violating the Constitution itself”

The Gulf of America

There really need to be resignations and where applicable prosecutions for perjury over this stuff. We knew that newspaper media was 'grubby' but this is criminal level dishonesty that cannot be explained away. Utter corruption.

The fact that Trump has said he will pardon the Jan 6th Washington rioters tells anyone who needs reminding all they need to know about how unfit for office he is.That a democracy has delivered somebody like him back to office shows us how low decency and basic values and standards have been brought

Politics is politics and diplomacy is diplomacy but the facts are the facts and the truth is the truth. The comments below were BEFORE the disgusting events on January 6th 2021 which should have made today's inauguration literally an impossibility.

The bottom line is, Trump should be in prison.

Reform MP thinks the families of Pakistani grooming gangs should be deported. This is probably the clearest indication yet of the steady creep towards 1970s style Enoch Powell/National Front style vile blatant open racism becoming normalised and everyday in this country. Utterly shameful and shaming

Now we have the perfect toxic set up for the far right and the corrupt media to brew the idea of a cover up by the government because Labour are frightened of losing the Asian vote.The implication of this will delight the racists aswell because it suggests that Asians somehow support the criminals.

So..Trump wants to annex Canada and Greenland. Tate wants to be UK PM.Musk sets the media and political agenda in the UK and Zuckerberg abandons fact checking within Meta at the same time as everyone is being gaslit into wanting free speech to mean being allowed to say whatever you like.Real danger

I get embarrassed for the members of the media and political opponents who can't hide their frustration that they didn't get the chance to hound Louise Haigh out of her job, and it's no surprise that they're the same people determined to smell a rat when a Labour politician does the right thing.

The sooner we get the Assisted dying discussion away from the politicians and especially the media the better. We need expertise, common sense, practicality and compassion to arrive at the right conclusion not politics and sensationalism.

There are whole books on psychology that don't get anywhere near this paragraph from Dostoevsky

When someone uses ‘woke’ as an insult I try to explain the difference between being woke and being a righteous right winger. Woke people are interested in Human Beings, Human Values and Empathy; right wingers are interested in money, property and supremacy. Please yourself!
