Excellent writing.

‘Trump is wearing a cheap-looking white cap with a USA logo on it. It’s a small detail. But it’s still jarring. He looks like a Florida golf pensioner ordering the surf and turf platter at an early bird diner. Presidents don’t generally wear random baseball caps to declare war.’

US House Speaker Mike Johnson: “We're not at war right now.

“We're four days in to a very specific, clear mission, an operation, Operation Epic Fury.”

A Special Military Operation, say, just like your pals in the Kremlin.

To anyone who thinks Trump can bring peace and equality to Iran – I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Going cheap | Marina Hyde If POTUS can really bomb peace, stability and women’s rights into the Middle East, I’ll take my hat off to him. Judging by his role in Gaza, I won’t hold my breath, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

‘you have to remember that when you do help, Trump pretends you didn’t anyway, and also pisses on your war dead.’

Well, quite. I hope Starmer keeps us as far away from this utter shambles as possible.

This entire article is spot on.

The fact that Isabel Oakeshott, economic migrant to the UAE may just turn into a refugee fleeing to the UK from a war zone will cause a level of schadenfreude in me that may just make me topple right over.

You got to feel for Matt Goodwin.

Sorry missed a word. You got to feel contempt for Matt Goodwin.

“It may even be – indeed, is likely to be – that the biggest names from whom the public would really, really like to hear more are never even questioned. They…. don’t fear a knock at the door, because they understand perfectly well how the system works. And they always did”

We’ve had 3 PMs since Johnson. He has absolutely no relevance to this country. The only time he should be on TV is when he’s arrested for Misconduct in Public Office.

Who better to have as Chancellor than Robert Jenrick, the man who helped a billionaire pornographer avoid £45m tax in exchange for a £10k donation.

it's really ugly: rude, tetchy, thin-skinned. It's a shame the other reporters didn't stand up for her and with her when he started being an arsehole. That kind of bullshit needs to be shut down immediately.

Far less amusingly than the headline would suggest - given that the driver is not an Amazon employee but ‘self employed’, she won’t get paid and will no doubt be charged for any damage to the van.

The overarching question is ‘should’, not ‘can’.

You lost me at ‘system’.

If that is genuinely how you view humanity then it’s no surprise that you are so desensitised to the rights and needs of a newborn baby.

I suspect that trying to debate with anyone who thinks humans are ‘meat computers’ is a lost cause.

Completely agree. My experience of BS has been just as frustrating, and I can see why so many women I used to follow are choosing to leave. I wish the moderation here was better.

Honestly I would block them. The moderators won’t do anything because trans. I avoided using blocking for a long time but it’s the only way to remain sane on this site.

What a joyless post.

Even as a fan of #NFFC this torrid season, I will always appreciate watching football.

Imagine being anti immigration and working in *football*.

Politics for idiots.

You seem to enjoy changing the definition of words (see also ‘violence’). The problem is, if you can’t define something accurately then you lose the ability to protect people from it.

Sure, being against VAWG is misogyny.

It is, if you’re a woman and your opponent has elevated testosterone levels and wouldn’t be eligible to compete in any other competition.

In that one single competition, perhaps. Remind me what happened next?
