Leadership is also about quick wins and harvesting the low hanging fruit. There will be tough times ahead when you have to hack a lot of people off so putting some glad tidings in the memory bank is smart politics.

"Three Es"!! It's like a really bad episode of The Thick of It everyday in No 10. The real deficit is a chief political advisor who has the faintest clue what they are doing.The longer they let Morgan McSweeney stay in charge of the SS Starmer the faster it is going to sink with all hands on board.

As the late Logan Roy once said - these are not serious people

Most analysts would have said that the likeliest scenario of one NATO member attacking another would be Turkey & Greece. No one had the United States and Denmark on their bingo card. Yet here we are.

We need to stop Donald Strangelove before he destroys the world.

The pardon for Hernandez makes an obvious & absolute mockery of each & every attempt to rationalise, or even justify, Trump's treatment of Maduro. I'm not sure this single, simple point can be stressed enough. Once again, he proves his critics right & reduces his supporters to epic moral corruption.

Here is a true political leader in case Keir Starmer and Darren Jones were wondering what one looked like. It turns out politicians are perfectly capable of identifying breaches of federal and international law.

I have to agree with my esteemed colleague and Starmer's insistence that he will continue as leader despite the worst polling numbers in history represents an existential threat to Labour as a political party.

Even Nigel Farage has said bombing a foreign country and kidnapping its leader and his wife is in breach of international law Darren. You really don't need the letters KC after your name to point out the very obvious.

Says the guy who had to get the Body Shop lady to blag him a place at a university from which he'd been rejected. Kyle is one of the most egregious examples of failing up in British public life and we certainly don't need him pontificating on British students' lack of drive. They have plenty.

The craven Trumpian vassal in his own words. The only thing missing from this confession is "the US and Israel" since Starmer regards unconditional support for Netanyahu as equally important as the love he shows for Trump.

Why can't Keir Starmer talk like this ever? He seems not to understand what true leadership and statesmanship is whereas Kamala Harris clearly does. The more you ignore, pardon and excuse tyranny the worse it gets. Greenland will be next and craven vassals like Starmer will ensure it happens.

This is what a Prime Minister with integrity and principles should be saying about the criminal and outlaw government currently in charge of the USA. Unfortunately we have no such Prime Minister.

Blair was George W. Bush's poodle. Starmer appears to be Donald Trump's cockapoodle. A craven and spineless servant of imperialism with a complete disregard for Britain's national interest.

Bullsh*t. The Tango Tyrant does nothing without Putin's prior approval. This is a massive green light for Moscow to carry on treating Ukraine and indeed every other neighbouring territory like Washington has always treated Latin America. Submit to the imperium or get couped.

Any statement from the British Prime Minister or any of his Cabinet ministers condemning this unlawful act of war and kidnapping of the head of a foreign state and his spouse? Anything at all?

BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5... Venezuela latest: Explosions heard as smoke rises in Caracas. The United States under Trump is a blatant threat to world peace & security. It is impossible to do business as usual with this mad man. Congress must impeach or constitutional democracy is finished

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani is officially mayor of New York City

The steep growth of the purple line at a time of falling living standards, NHS crisis, genocidal wars & climate collapse shows the extent of the ideological capture of our media & political systems by wealthy rw plutocrats & hostile state actors who push division, hatred & prejudice because it works

And not forgetting the current England Test cricket captain Ben Stokes (b. 4 June 1991 in Christchurch, New Zealand ).

Also even though all the files are a hoax especially the made up ones that mention Trump we felt it necessary to redact & let's be honest just plain old disappear 99.99% of them to protect the hoax victims and to avoid prejudicing any ongoing non existent investigations of non existent perpetrators

Wow so 2 maybe 3 cheers for Trump from a newspaper which the same man described as 'a threat to national security'. You would think the President's unprecedented attacks on free speech and press freedom might get a mention in this 'progress review'.

For 49 days this woman was the actual Prime Minister of the actual United Kingdom. Many millions are still paying higher mortgages and credit card bills as a consequence. The reputation of the UK as a serious country remains permanently damaged.

"The question is whether political leaders are brave enough to speak the truth? Immigration is good for this country and that we have a clear, moral responsibility to protect those failed by global injustice and political neglect." observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Is it fascism yet?

This arrest is extremely troubling bec supporting hunger striking prisoners who complain of multiple abuses in prison incl. extended detention without trial is not the same as endorsing a proscribed organisation. If it is-arrest the MPs who have also protested. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

🎄 Just getting my last Xmas cards out there. ✍🏼 Dear cabinet....

Without support from the two big unions Unite and now Unison it is difficult to see a route to No.10 for Wes Streeting who while loved by the resident doctor bashing corporate media & himself - is widely despised by the labour movement & most Labour members. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

LBD once again does the job that the Labour government and the entire mainstream media & in particular the BBC are intentionally not doing - exposing Farage & Reform for the Kremlin funded and backed useful idiots they have been for many years.

This is what a government of criminals criminally protecting a network of rich and powerful criminals looks like. #EpsteinFarce

Anyone notice that Speaker Johnson subtly dismissed Congress today so that they won't be in session on Friday? Hmmm, anything big set to happen on Friday that might upset people?

He has seen the Epstein Files in their entirety. Now he is fleeing before the shit hits the fan. #bonginobust

Trump's Gauleiters will only go after the arts & humanities and any social sciences with 'critical' or -ism in the title. They will leave the hard sciences the hell alone. Oh.

As Baldwin well knows, there is zero chance of this happening. Keir Starmer is a willing prisoner of a Blue Labour cult who believe in Lexit without the L and don't care if they lose the next election as Britain's unmanaged decline accelerates. Some form of rejoin is an open goal for the rivals.

It was never about drugs. It was always about oil.

Jamie Driscoll seems a very impressive person - a big coup for the Greens

So at least we know the long planned invasion of Venezuela has nothing to do with drugs - it's all about plundering the country's oil resources using the world's largest military as a smoke screen to protect a criminal President.

Trump Derangement Syndrome. Every accusation is a confession.

Met police decline to investigate rich & powerful in shock development - even those demoted to the rank of commoner.

Why is Keir Starmer so hellbent on digital ID? Two words: Tony Blair. At @thenerve_news we’ve tracked Blair’s influence - & his billionaire backer Larry Ellison - behind a policy that nobody asked for & almost nobody wants. 1/

I'm just over 100 days as the leader of the Green Party. We've had several polls where we're in second place above Labour. And today we found out we are closing in on overtaking Labours membership. Then we're coming for Reform. Join.greenparty.org.uk

This case is going to be studied for decades to come by legal scholars as one of the most egregious examples of executive over-reach that a democratic common law based system has ever seen.

How to kill your overseas tourist industry stone dead not to mention business travel. Absolutely deranged.
