Gentle reminder for those idiots that want Britain to get fully involved in an illegal war in the Middle East built on a false argument around WMD, in 2003 we had an economy larger than China and could put about 60,000 servicemen and women into the field.

It's history, not current affairs.

Why would the people of Durham not vote Reform - what's not to like about increasing council tax, cutting Β£12.9m from services, having a Deputy Leader who posts AI lies or a Leader who ran two companies that went bust owing more than Β£500k in tax?

Whatever happened to Baroness Mone. The sums attributed to PPE Medpro, a company linked to her, were considerably higher but that business was liquidated leaving creditors short changed. It remains a mystery how Directors can still walk away from insolvent companies that have been asset stripped.

Tory peer to leave House of Lords. Tory Covid VIP lane provided these people with millions in profit providing unsafe PPE.

They should be facing criminal charges.

Same ones which said Boris Johnson was a stand up guy, Liz Truss was an economic genius and that a Reform govt will be good for the country.

It’s almost like they’re run by self-interested billionaires who don’t live here.

Oh wait.

There is almost no difference between the UK and French positions on Iran. But Macron's approach has been broadly accepted by French media and the opposition - except for the extreme left. The parallel with the UK is interesting.

Ian Huntley death: the summer we watched a senseless tragedy unfold in Soham How the desperate search for two missing girls in 2002 and their now-dead killer claimed its place in the country’s museum of appalling crimes

Ian Huntley has died after being attacked in prison.

There’s questions to ask but right now, let the media focus on his victims: 10 year old best friends Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, and their parents and siblings who must still endure a lifetime of grief. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Spain’s PM β€œThey say Spain is alone.”
