Dunno. We're all swimming in a world full of shit at the moment along with Burnham. Let's see how he does in the brown stuff.

I do think neither Badenoch nor Farage have faced the political consequences they should have for their knee-jerk calls to join a war that has turned out to be a disaster. Had either been PM the UK would be even more enmeshed in this quagmire, and I think that should be discussed more often.

It's all on Netanyahu and his narcissistic puppet, Trump. It's also particularly hard on the tens of thousands of innocent Iranians, including school children, who lost their lives.

Does anyone really believe that white vans containing bombs or drones would be able to pitch up at the perimeter fence at RAF Fairford if they'd been tracked by intelligence services? It was a farmer dialling 999 that did it. Nothing to do with US intelligence. Trump talking out of his arse as usual

Orange Order march to go ahead for first time in nearly 30 years after late night drama

The march, which in the 1990s sparked some of the most serious disorder in Northern Ireland's history, will go ahead on Sunday after a series of legal challenges.

Can Trump really pay $5,000 to every American adult?

Analysts question if the US president's election year offer is workable, legal or affordable.

BBC Artworks, The Guitar Story. Is that it? Prog Rock "something had to give" in one sentence. Then the celebration of punk and its minimisation of musical and technical talent for half the episode. Give over FFS.

BBC News - Israel confirms soldiers fired at car in which Hind Rajab was killed and opens criminal investigation www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Query to the headline writers; is it reasonable to infer that Hind's death, along with the others, is somehow connected to the IDF's firing into the car?

The five-year-old Palestinian girl initially survived the attack and pleaded for help but her body was recovered later with those of six of her relatives.

I profoundly disagree. Mr Tice is to be roundly condemned on this and at every opportunity. He is a fool and a blackguard and his supporters ought to be rightly ashamed. He and his co-conspirator Mr Farage do however have a talent for sounding respectable and somewhat posh which appeals to some.

I would like Burnham to explain that Rosebank and Jackdaw are intended to directly replace, no more or less, importation of Norwegian fossil fuels. Only that precise explanation might exempt what otherwise looks like a cynical betrayal of climate aims.

Failed politicians shouldn't become unelected, unaccountable law makers for the rest of their lives. This is a fundamental principle of democracy. The House of Lords is a relic long past its sell by date.

Abolish the Lords. The words are over an image of Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar.

I was fine with an aim to end homelessness. I was fine with a £2 cap on bus fares and removal of VAT on domestic electricity. But, it doesn't take long. A shady reward for being a political drone to sink Starmer? A reward that is an insult to citizens but Scots in particular. Yellow card Mr Burnham

In a thinking world, the 'elevation' of a rejected politician to an archaic unelected bureaucracy where there are NO members of the majority Scottish Government party would amplify the demand for independence. But our world doesn't think enough.

Yes, and she's obviously decided she's going with "a people pleaser". Actually, I wouldn't mind a few politicians who please the people. We've had the alternative for so many years.

Fascinating to hear that Jackdaw is needed to supply 6% of the UK's gas supply. In 2014 Westminster told us that oil and gas in the North Sea were more or less exhausted and worthless. They couldn't have been lying, could they?

Today I deleted my 'Discover' feed because I'm sick and tired of a relentless stream of Trump and American bullshit. I used to take the family from Scotland to the US July 4 celebrations in Florida, New York and California. Last time was 15 years ago when I detected the change. Haven't been back.
