Charlie Angus: Heavy crude from Alberta has served American refineries for a long time. It has served the US economy super well. But hey, you threaten us, well, we’ll have another pipeline and it can go elsewhere. The message to the MAGA administration is: Keep pushing, sucker, and see what happens

Oli Dugmore brilliantly outlines the struggles young people face today. Brexit robbed them of countless opportunities. Restoring our EU membership is the easiest way to help our young people.

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

History is written by the victors. Thatcher broke the power of trade unions by mass unemployment, industrial restructuring, frittered away N Sea Oil, laid the foundations for the current housing crisis, decimated local bus services, hollowed out local government and introduced the poll tax.
Simon Clarke 

Andy Burnham seems to remember a different 1970s to the rest of us. Britain in 1979 was utterly broken - ravaged by unaccountable trade union power, economically stagnant, the sick man of Europe.
The 1980s saw a remarkable national recovery based on free enterprise, the rule of law and championing Western values. And it is this that our Prime Minister rails against...

Someone should note to Suella that if this idea of Englishness wins (along with all the other Hard Right ideas that come with it), then either... a) the mob she has enabled will come for her – 'not one of us'. b) the mob will celebrate her as their greatest useful idiot. What a position.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings
