We in the West should be incredibly grateful to the brave people of Ukraine and for the techno-military innovation and skills they are deploying. Unlike the head-in-the sand previous UK governments, by their persistent attrition of Russian personnel, equipment, they are sending a message to Putin…

Just look at those thick, opportunistic, far right thugs in Southampton last night. Egged on, within the safety of his bodyguards, by Yaxley-Lennon and endorsed by Farage. Ashamed of what’s happening in my country but encouraged by the good people I know who equally abhor it.

The Blair blather and Starmer stumbles. When two egotistical lawyers fall out……

The wettest winter that I can remember. It’s not even summer yet and thee are water shortages. Not privatisation per se, maybe, but still a catastrophic mismanagement of suppliers. Absolutely no grip by Ofwat. Suspect that was the deal struck with the Devil.

GB News is trying to gut the BBC. Their radical plan would force shows like Strictly and The Traitors to be axed or hidden behind a Netflix-style paywall. Sign the petition to say NO to a BBC subscription model:

news.sky.com/story/weathe... Cue (queue…?) Brexit. The gift that keeps on giving…..🙄

Chelsea Flower show Beeb coverage. Monty Don fawning interview of the boring Zandra Rhodes in her boring frock and boring tat, in her boringly planted boring Bermondsey House. Empress’s new clothes. Always has been.

Surfers Against Sewage are about to meet with the government to discuss the sewage pollution scandal. Sign the petition to show just how many of us demand change. Over 270k have signed - now let's get this to a number Starmer can't ignore. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

UK loosens Russian oil sanctions as fuel prices rise Evidence of Trump supporting Putin - again. Although, much of it is probably getting through on the black, anyway.

HS 2. What a farce. Can we not grip contractors/developers/financiers/ fraudsters/grifters better than this….? FFS.

UK. society is not inherently racist. However, it does include a large number of people who are. They join a large Venn overlap with those who are jingoistic and those who are not very clever. That shared sector was out in force on the streets of London at the weekend.

By denouncing Streeting for urging Rejoin EU as it will lose Labour (some) votes, that MP precisely defines what is wrong with current UK politics. It’s obviously been a disaster and a future PM needs to have the balls to change it, not follow ‘focus groups’.

Oh, for a leader with the vision to take us back where we belong - in EU, and the balls to make it happen. We might just have one, waiting in the wings …….

Are there really people who take the laughable Eurovision Song Contest seriously?

Never been a fan of Slick Wes Streeting but he’s right on rejoining EU. Leaving was a catastrophic decision, whose timing, vis à vis a Trump administration just made it worse. We should rejoin, wholeheartedly, asap.

So, weaselly Wes resigned for a crack at the top job, which now looks unlikely. Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

news.sky.com/story/iran-w... Trump confirms he is owned by Nutjobyahoo

John McDonnell on 4 News talking total democratic sense.

If we all suffer the financial and market chaos consequent on a messy leadership change, weaselly Chris Mason and his ilk will have a lot to answer for.

For Darwin’sake….. please-anyone but Wes Streeting…..purleeease…..

Gone a bit quiet, eh? The Useful Idiot now just The Idiot. Watch this space.

The Labour doing its usual self-destructive thing. Absolutely NOT the time for a messy leadership change. Madness. Starmer is on the right track, albeit the communication is terrible.

As well as the noticeable price increases, the ‘use-by’ dates on imported fruit and vegetables have markedly shortened due, I guess, to slower transporting. Thanks again, Fatso.

I wonder if most people, as they approach their 80th, are disappointed that the country in which they grew has turned sour. This week’s election results certainly have left me with the feeling that all the naïve endeavours to even up society were just that; and pointless. Sad.

I’m really no fan butt Starmer needs to hang tough. He’s no communicator but he’s a man of integrity and intelligence. The vacuous powder-puff blue Reform have nothing, really, to offer and will crash and burn.

Democracy on both sides of the Atlantic, is fucked. With the media here telling everyone that Reform will do well and the absurd tendency of people to vote for the party they think will win. Self-fulfilling. And Reform’s ‘policies’ still occult.

Fancy a rat-infested cruise, anyone?

It’s awful. Attacks on Jewish communities here, NutjobYahoo’s atrocities against Hamas’s, with overbearing territorial aims. I have Jewish ancestry but the unholy US/Israel aggressor alliance? Not in my name, thank you.

So. Iran holds the balance…..

Fatso clearly has no idea how to reverse the damage he initiated.

Germany troop cuts send wrong signal to Russia, say two top US Republicans Trump obviously considers it the right message. “Let’s carve up the world between us”. …..?

The pocket-lining in plain sight., of the Trump-favoured/favouring, is obscene. And probably impeachable?

Jonathan Freedland as usual, spot on, quoting a reader. “Netanyahu et al regularly conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism and so, by implication, supporting Jews, implies support for Israel”. It doesn’t, nor should it.

Nothing can excuse the appalling violent atrocities committed on a huge scale in the Middle East and frighteningly now in UK and elsewhere but we shouldn’t forget that the word antisemitism, so insouciantly used, applies to all Semitic peoples including many who speak Arabic and follow Islam.

In a bit more than a year, one not-very-clever man-muppet has, in spite of all that is good and great in that country, hugely diminished America in the eyes of the world. The direct damage also done to that country will be left for others to deal with. It’s deeply sad.

It was a shitty job job to be given, but it sounds like Charles’ speechwriters did a cracking job and he delivered them with subtlety and aplomb. The punches, delivered in a velvet glove probably went over the head of the The Ignorant Moron. No royalist I, but well done, Yer Maj.

……”the King agrees with me, even more than I do…..”. What a moron.

What people in USA, under an accidental dictatorship don’t understand is that, in a constitutional monarchy, the Head of State can do only what the democratically elected government tells him or her what to do and say.

Washington Hilton. Massive inexcusable or simply not believable fail. You choose.

Tired of soaring supermarket bills? 🛒 The PM is planning a bold new law to match EU trading rules, slashing border red tape to finally bring food prices down. Let’s show him the public has his back! Sign here:

So, Trump and Cronies want to punish NATO members for not supporting his illegal war. Well, those allies acting together can reciprocate, perhaps not to the same degree, to remind Fatso that they were not even consulted.

Weirdly, I’m not hearing it from any of the pundits, but surely, the very worst mistake was publicly announcing Mandelson’s appointment before the vetting process was complete - started even! Crass stupidity.

The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency Suspicions….?? 🙄. It’s been blatant, obvious and no one seems to care.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Been a really good life. Pity, at the age of 80, the world had to go to crap.

Gaza flattened. Now south Lebanon. What to they have in common? Border with Israel. NutjobYahoo’s land grab expands.

Hey Amaryllis! You Bewdy.

If ever you thought that religion was not the occult cause or justification of evil, just look at Nigeria. A plague on all religious houses, I say.
