It’s headline-seeking bullshit. She’s got a Hollywood blockbuster scriptwriter preparing her speeches. Bigger the threat, the bigger the headlines.

“Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, but we’ve retreated from RAF Fairfield just in case.” And if he’s not going to let Iran have nukes, how does he expect them to take out LA and San Diego? He’s such a bag of contradictions!

Maybe the next AG needs to back Jack Smith as President! Take the politics out of politics, and plot a course for home.

It looks like an appeal to the residents of Clacton to explain to him why he was elected. It’s “What the hell am I supposed to be doing? Remind me why you elected me, cos I haven’t got a clue.”

His evil refusal to accept the greatest threat to our planet is the biggest danger we have ever faced. Trump the Destroyer. Trump is death incarnate.

That’s some skilled marketing hype! Next: “We’re cancelling benefits to stop vulnerable people buying drugs and alcohol, shelter and food… well, the last bit’s a bit unfortunate but…”

The triple lock must change: let’s tie it to MPs’ pay: when MPs vote themselves a rise, pensions rise correspondingly. When MPs get a job perk (eg, pension fund bonus), pensioners get the same. And on retirement, pensioners get something akin to an MP’s winding-up payment of to four months' salary.

Amazed that Johnson claims the full amount. He’s never usually one for grifting or taking money from others rather than actually going out and earning it. Are you sure the figures are right? 😜

Emissions from aircraft in the sense of pollutants from fuels would be great. But “chemtrails” is what gets the response from his conspiracy theorist followers and opponents alike. He, they and the also-they need to step back and start letting normal humans run society.

Amazing - they turned out not to be quite so crooked and sycophantic as he’d thought? Did he think everyone he appointed was as evil and twisted as he is?

I wonder … if Nixon had been sent to prison, instead of being pardoned, would that have caused future politicians to think twice before breaking the law.

Hope he declares all these free pints in the Register of Members’ Interests. If they exist, cos if they don’t he wouldn’t need to, so that’d be alright then. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🤡🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

We’ll rejoin the EU when the numpties see the light. Brexit was – is – a democratically inflicted great harm on the UK; but it was not just “the English” voting for it but all individuals who believed the lies of people like Michael Gove, Liam Fox, Douglas Ross etc. It was not England vs Scotland.

John Manning @johnmanningpct.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Yea, we’ve left the EU and seen where division gets us; now let’s finish the job. Great that Trump’s backing NI uniting with the Republic, perhaps he’ll buy Scotland and use it as a golf course-cum-B52 refuelling station when he bombs Islay for claiming their whisky’s better than Tennessee’s hooch.

The big question: was this person smuggled out in an airline catering truck, as seems to be common practice with (alleged!) US child sex abusers? #trump #arresttrump #epsteinfiles #fucktrump #midterms

The individual worked at the US embassy in Vauxhall, south London, had diplomatic protection, despite not being a diplomat.

It’s not a £72m war chest. After expenses, it’s 30p, and that’s already earmarked to pay for a slap-up meal for the Member of Parliament for Ashfield, for being a good dog.

If Donald Trump won by a landslide he’s still say the election was rigged and that he should have had the biggest landslide in the history of landslides, then he’d blame Joe Biden.

In the name of economics? Actually they do it in our name to line their own pockets. The addiction to oil profits has damn-near killed this planet, and they’ve still got their knee on its neck.
