Old left wing atheist. Find myself becoming more radical the older I get. I'm beginning to think the West has been taken over by therapists seeking to boost trade. Please, no DMs. I spend too much time on line already.

It was a disgraceful show trial, and the attempt to convict the man of contempt of Congress for employing his Constitutional rights is indicative of how far right the so-called GOP has moved under Trump.

Tech billionaires are getting richer while we pay the price for the real-world harm their platforms cause. The "neutral host" loophole lets them off the hook for pushing dangerous content. MPs are demanding emergency laws to make them pay. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Given Congress is belatedly looking at the War Powers Act, and given the almost universal rejection of Trump's MofU, might it not be a good idea for Congress to tell Trump, and the world that he is no longer in charge of things and real diplomats will be nominated to secure a deal? Just a thought.

How about declaring the water companies nationalised without compensation. Returning initial investment only if a loss after dividends can be demonstrated.

I remember the bicentennial - it felt like a birthday celebration. This 250th anniversary will feel like a funeral.

These may go some way to explaining the size of the Labour majority. I can't help thinking that if he'd made these pledges the basis of his government's policies, he wouldn't be in the mess he is in now. And neither would the Labour Party.

This Blue Labour government has alienated and abandoned the left, and has thought it a good idea to be Reform Lite. The Labour Party was created to help the working class. It is high time this government started to do so. I support Sarah.

Starmer’s Blue Labour has alienated and abandoned the left wing thereby helping Green Party recruitment. Time to be bold and radical - give people what they want : the EU and some socialist policies.

Unbelievable. King Charles is STILL set to fly to the US to celebrate with Trump in April. With everything Trump is saying and doing right now - and the hate and chaos he's spreading - this trip must be cancelled. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

I don’t give money to any organisation in the US. The Russians refer to Gabbard as “our Tulsi”. I’d like the world to go back to when the US was opposed to Russia - not supporting it.
