Everyone should calm down about the Trump comment on Starmer. It was off the dome. The UK and US work well behind the scenes. Trump is about the show.

Reeves and Starmer should go. Theres no hope, no inspiration, no vision. After 5 years of following him, I still don't know what Starmism is. Forget the appeasement budget, they are beholden to institutions they have long since been rendered redundant.

The people in charge of Trump's administration are not normal. They couldn't care less about normal behaviour. No one will resign, no one will apologise, no one will conduct an inquiry. They'll blame Biden somehow, and tell you suck an egg ya liberal cucks. You left reality behind a long time ago.

Labour will continue the path to defeat by balancing the books on the backs of the poorest - Attack the problem of wealth inequality, tax wealth, tax assets held by super-wealthy individuals, give working people the chance to spend money, and we will have a stronger economy.

Remove the Peers that don't speak, don't scrutinise and don't contribute in any way to legislation that goes through the HoL chamber. A second elected chamber will not fix anything. Experts that can give honest opinions, based on knowledge, without fearing the electorate, improve democracy.
