So Andy Burnham goes up in my estimation today. I was cynical he would kick the Dan down the road forever rather than risk something divisive but necessary. And he has. Scrapping triple lock has to be done, but I never thought any PM would dare do it.

Glad the EU is pulling its finger out but HOW THE FUCK IS THE IRISH GOVERNMENT GETTING AWAY WITH STALLING THIS LONG? This is clear-cut collusion and profiteering from war crimes.

The more I follow this story, the more convinced I become that UEFA should threaten to pull out of the 2030 World Cup. Infantino clearly thinks FIFA can ignore UEFA and get away with it. Time for UEFA to hit back with the one thing FIFA can't ignore.

"Yeah, Amnesty. you're still banging on about the Tiananmen Square and the 200 murders, but they weren't full-on proper murdered by the state, were they, only a bit murdered. And over here, Nigel Farage said some nasty things about immigrants. Come on, it's basically the same thing innit?"

Who are the UK to criticise another nation state? Need to get our own house in order. China have levelled up a lot of its people in the last 40yrs. Meanwhile the UK has facism issues and massive poverty problems.
No economic reason for austerity, imagine that. Neoliberal bs.

It is entirely possible that any of these ex-Reform councillors could have axes to grind. Andrew Husband may have a good explanation if he can stop the personal attacks. But when you've lost a 13 out of your 65 your councillors in sixteen months, your leadership is failing. Husband should resign.

I watched the BBC1 TV news at Six and was startled to watch coverage of this memorial. It far exceeded the news value of the occasion in length and content. As usual alarm about levels of ugly anti semitism lacked any proper context: the slaughter in Gaza
