Honestly I think being shamed is his kink. Wouldn’t want to contribute to that. *shudder There will be plenty of people to try. I’m rooting for the little blood clot that could.

Could the UK really rejoin the EU?
The big question facing ​A​ndy Burnham is not whether Brexit has harmed Britain, but if a rapidly changing Europe will keep the door open​ if the UK decides it wants back in

I thought I had seen it all, but this is an astonishing new low, putting the US in the company of Iran, Afghanistan and N Korea. I abhor the death penalty. The idea that kids, including my own, might see such an execution shocks me to the core. Abhorrent, barbaric, sick, warped, cruel and twisted.

French Finance Minister Roland Lescure on the UK rejoining the European Union tells the BBC, "Come back. Anytime" My view: Across Europe, the message to Britain is increasingly simple: come back. We are stronger working with our closest neighbours — economically and in our shared defence.

Andy Burnham said "all options" for our future with Europe are on the table. But EU membership is the only one that makes sense - it will boost our economy and, crucially, it's what the majority of Brits want.

For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?
