It’s time to stop adhering to a decade-old referendum that caused us nothing but problems. An increasingly volatile world now changes faster, year on year. The days of Empire are long gone. We cannot survive alone. We need the power/safety of our neighbours. Unity not isolation.

Keir Starmer wasted two years trying to make Brexit work. If @andyburnham doesn't ditch Labour's red lines, he'll go the same way as Starmer. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Nigel Farage always says he's the most attacked MP ever Except for David Amess and Jo Cox who were murdered, and Jeremy Corbyn who was relentlessly smeared for 4 years Also of course the fact is he's a horrible corrupt Brexit supporting racist, so people just don't like him

Surely the case for banning X in the UK is now obvious? Its owner, powerful both in his own right and as a representative of a hostile government, is openly quoting a violent British racist, and carefully stopping *just* short of calling for the sort of pogrom we saw in Belfast... Action is needed.

As I'm not allowed to do anything after my op, I'm rewatching, for 3rd time, The MAGA's Tale...sorry The Handmaid's Tale. Thought it might be prudent to have 👀 wide open to what Trump, & therefore Farage, wants!

Was due to have ACDF neck surgery on Thurs. Checked into hospital, had visits from Dr's, nurses, pharmacists. Watched as they wheeled the 1st patient up. Then waited 6 hrs to then be told I was canx as an emergency came in. Oh well, stuff happens but now have to wait for another date. Gutted

We laugh at how unutterably pathetic he is (me as much as anyone) but if you think Trump won’t sacrifice countless American soldiers’ lives to postpone the public humiliation of his epic failure in Iran, then you really haven’t been paying attention…

JUST IN: Democrats tonight have flipped a GOP-held state House seat in Florida. And not just any seat: This is the district that contains Mar-a-Lago. (It voted for Trump by 11% in 2024). That's right: Trump will now be represented by a Democrat, Emily Gregory, in Tallahassee.

Yesterday, the magnificent Allister Heath headline generator demonstrated how thin the line between parody & reality can be. Today, Dick Littlejohn uses his Daily Mail column to explain that he 'knows' how much better 'things' were 25 years ago, because he has been watching old episodes of The Bill.
