Burnham must have a cuckoo in the Badenoch speech writing nest. How else can we explain why Kemi [aka Milicent Clyde] compared him to one of the most loved characters in the country by describing him as a "Paddington Bear Prime Minister"?

The mainstream media in UK is under the spell of Trump, which might be why the lead story was about Trump + meeting Brunham. A more important meeting, between Burnham & Ursula von der Leyen of the EU, was more important but hardly mentioned. Journalists need to improve.

It looks like the small boats problem is under control and close to an end. Thanks to the Labour Government. And it didn't take 960 years!! 😉

Do most members of Reform realise Farage defines an "independent country" as one that is a member of Schengen Travel Area and has full access and use of the EU Single Market.

The democratic system of the UK has a real problem: The people will only vote for the fantasy that they can get the services they expect without paying the taxes to pay for them. All parties therefore have to avoid the unelectable truth, and be condemned for dishonesty when elected. #doublethink

The BBC may be an imperfect media organisation, but it's our imperfect media organisation. As Licence Payers, British people will bitterly resent paying a single dime to any foreign power. Time for a cross party approach to defend the BBC's future.

It's easy to forget the chaos of the last years of the Conservative government, and equally easy to be conned by the false promises of scurrilous populist performers of the far right & left. But this chap may not be a showman, but he is the serious and competent leader our country needs. #Starmer

It's utterly beyond me that people want better public services, yet kid themselves taxes do not have to be raised to pay for them. If we could afford to pay them, I'd blame their teachers!

What on earth is King Charles thinking here? [Suggestions please!] I know there's criticism for King Charles and other Royals for hosting the Trump visit. But my take is that they are "taking one for Team GB" [as are the politicians involved].

Parliament's back, so Nigel's sneaked off to see his chums in the USA. It's a good job the teachers of Clacton haven't nipped off to the USA at the start of term. 😅😥

I have real trouble understanding Reform supporters. They shout about their support for the military, claim to be the only British patriots, wrap themselves in English flags, dominate victory celebrations, but 52% seem to baulk at defending us all against Russia.

Despite the Badenoch Broadcast Corporation trying hard to deny it in their narrative, their chart really does show UK economy doing best out of the G7 countries in the first 6 months of this year.

Sorry to be boring- but many of us have known about these signs for years. And surely the scheme is actually very sensible, it being a simple example of climate change adaptation to save lives. It rightly does not pretend the fens can be fully protected from catastrophic flooding. Remember 1953.

Now that the "no tax increases" tourniquet has been cut by last week's welfare vote, this could be a real winner with Lab + LibDem people. It might be a particularly difficult subject for Reform?
