Oh how sad. *wipes a tear* Do we now have to give up our traditional Scaramucci measure and use the new 5 day Zacharia? A Zacharia - even the bananas in my fruit bowl last longer. #notshockedjustlaughing #KatieZacharia

It was a colourful Question Time last night - we could have gone on for hours. You can watch it here. From 34’29” I raise an issue that isn't discussed nearly enough. It's a situation faced by many nations around the world. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Question Time - 2026: 15/10/2026

On Question Time last night, I talked about the extractive economic model that has left Wales - and many other nations - impoverished *because they were so rich in resources*. You can see the problem simply by looking at the map: the infrastructure looks like a drainage system.

Some of them are fascist collaborators. Some of them are self-interested Machiavellians. Some are merely cowards. All of them have blood on their hands.

Q: Can you name a time when you voted against Trump and it changed the outcome? SUSAN COLLINS: At one point, I had organized people to vote against Sec. Hegseth. At the very last minute one of our Republicans changed his mind. Otherwise he would've been defeated. Q: So it didn't change the outcome

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Putin has not funded disruption and chaos across Europe and the UK solely to weaken his enemies. He also knows that disruption and chaos favour the far right. And the far right loves Putin. It will abandon Ukraine and build him a highway into Europe.

just a casual reminder that inciting violence against his political opponents and others he dislikes has been a core feature of Donald Trump's approach for more than a decade. It is a defining characteristic of Trump and his movement, but rarely centered as such by corporate media.
