Since there has been no formal declaration of war on Iran by the Americans, surely sinking an Iranian ship without warning in international waters constitutes an act of terrorism? Why do we support these irresponsible maniacs?

That lunar eclipse - the 'blood moon' effect was not to be seen from these parts as a bank of cloud intervened, but here is the moon just starting to emerge from Earth's shadow

Nobody deserves Kirk's fate, least of all his poor family - but he paid the price that he himself felt justifiable for America's insane gun policy. They that live by the sword . . .

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

No second state visit for Trump
Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.  This is the...

I notice there hasn't been a squeak of outrage from Farage and the right, regarding the hideous Glasgow child abuse case - I wonder what the difference might be between these perpetrators and those in, say, Rotherham . . . ?

If true, what Labour front bench is doing is unforgivable. The #CANBill is essential & has backing of huge number of experts, scientists, unions & enjoys cross-party support. If backbench Labour MPs ever consider rebelling against leadership on anything, let it be this - a liveable future for all 👇

Regarding the correct response to Musk's provocations - it's the old joke about picking a fight with a pig in a pigsty - you both end up dirty, but the pig likes it

Interesting to hear (C4 news last night) that the late and unlamented Jean-Marie Le Pen refused to do business with Farage and UKIP, saying he was 'corrupt'

The BBC needs to have a debate about whether Musk's outbursts should keep leading the news. This isn't about censoring or suppressing his views; it's about whether to amplify them. Most Brits aren't on X, they don't follow Musk & not every raving from a foreign plutocrat should set the news agenda

Not something I ever expected to say, but I agree with Trump when he called Biden's decision to pardon his own son a 'miscarriage of justice'. Also it won't help the Democrats when Trump starts to pardon his own followers, as he inevitably will

Once upon a time, when a friend said they couldn't come out because they were in bed, you'd ask "Who with?" These days the question is usually "What with?"
