Am I the only one thinking £72m is an extraordinary amount to try to spend in the prison commissary?

This really is demented stuff. Trump is the Republicans' messiah. From Heather Cox Richardson...
Republicans claim Trump sent by God to save the world.

We truly are in the upside down. It's just been announced that Meta have agreed to a $16.7bn settlement in the case brought against them for harm done to children by their products. Meta's share price ROSE by 4.4% on the announcement. Make it make sense. Their shares should have hit the basement.

Has Harry Kane really played golf with Trump as Trump claims? How, when, where? Or is it just Trump confusing Kane with Taylor Swift?

The cigarette in Obama's mouth is so obviously photo-shopped. They probably had a reefer first, then realised it only made him look too cool.

It is bizarre that Trump has effectively handed over the conduct of international diplomacy to members of his family and mates. It's troubling more, that this is not the most dangerous or stupid thing he's done in his Presidency. And every day the lunacy grows.

I'd support adopting the Euro, though for the benefit of anyone in work, on a pension or with savingsl, I'd want to take a gamble on renewed membership boosting the UK economy, and thus the £/€ exchange rate. Once done it's for ever.

Have no feeling for how Andy Burnham would perform if he became PM. But must say I'm not comfortable with him carpet-bagging a seat to put himself in contention.

I'm pinning this on my profile. Reform will not form the next Government of the UK, and furthermore, Farage himself will not be re-elected.

My brain and gut have normally told me when a politician's time is up. I'm not feeling it with Starmer. Maybe it's the lack of any obvious or credible successor.

High house prices are Fool's Gold. It rarely benefits the houseowner - ratchets up the costs of buying/selling; and makes the cost of upsizing for a growing family less viable. When people talk of what their house is "worth", I always correct, to, No, it's what it would sell for.

I'm thinking of that one-off day when every Pound you have saved or invested and salaries and pensions, are converted to Euros. Every cent will count!

I'm pro adopting the €. The plain fact is, had we done so, we'd still be in the EU. The tricky thing for me would be the rate at which we join. I've experienced it from £ = €1.10 to £ = €1.45. The current £ = €1.15 hurts. I'd hope for £ = €1.20.

What would Vance do anyway? Continue Trump's disastrous policies which are breaking MAGA, or disown everything Trump stood for and still upset MAGA! In any case, he'll be a lame duck in a Dem dominated controlled House after November - with zero chance in 2028 - so Thiel can go whistle.

I am convinced the reason Labour are so intransigent on holding a new EU referendum is there could be no way a fresh Scottish referendum could be denied. Labour are terrified Scotland would this time vote Yes.

It couldn't happen overnight, but the inevitable outcome would be the closure of all US bases in UK and the rest of Europe.

Heavy speculation that Trump will announce later that he is pulling USA out of NATO. He can't do of course without a vote of Congress, but will that band of nodding donkeys defy him? Should he do so, Starmer *must* immediately forbid the use of American bases in UK for offensive purposes in Iran

I thought he was the sharpest political operators of our time. I was dumbfounded when he popped up as a figure in the so-called Gaza reconstruction, and then as a founder-member of Trump's idiotic Board of Peace.

Andy Stewart @andystewart.bsky.social · 30/03/2026
Trump's gratuitous insult of MBS will have immediate and future consequences for USA. I'd say Saudi Arabia are unlikely to join Trump & Netanyahu's war; that USA will lose their bases in Saudi; and any promised Saudi investment in USA is now a pipe dream.

It's come to something that this report has zero credibility until we hear from Iran. And as of this moment, 11:50GMT, they have said nothing.

The Suez crisis effectively ended the UK's perception that it was a World Power. Iran will surely be judged USA's Suez. They have shown themselves, weak; ill-led; ill-prepared; tactically naive; and unhinged. Sorry USA. You're done. Cooked. Just a well-armed, witless, bully.

Thanks. I think this is very recent, for when this was announced my daughter and I went on a doom loop seeking clarification. It does seem strange however-given the negative emphasis on immigration - that there is now a set of foreign born people who *must*claim their citizenship or pay to deny it!

Ah, there's the rub. We have tried to get an answer to what seems obvious - if they are British, then they are eligible just to apply for UK passports without the hoops and expense. My letter to my MP 1 month ago making this point remains unanswered.

Whatever the outcome of Trump's foolish Iran war, he has surely put a bounty on the lives of his progeny. They are destined to live the rest of their lives in fear of assassination, while knowing their father set the precedent of denying State protection to political enemies.

Blackly comic, but Dean Blundell is reporting that sailors, now in month 10 of their scheduled 6 month deployment, are actually sabotaging the ship to prevent their being sailed directly into Iranian missile/drone range.
