You’ve got to be a special kind of scum to do that. But, the MAGA cult don’t know how to behave. The Walz Family are strong unit and will prevail.

Reeves is correct in what she is saying right now. Her reform of the fiscal rules to differentiate investment from current spending was crucial. There's much to criticise her for, but she gets nowhere near enough recognition for this.

Not only that, they package it up as though it’s part of Brexit. People don’t realise it has nothing to do with Brexit 🙄 It’s just ensuring humanity prevails.

More should have been made about Farage's absence from Parliament in the week of the summit. After all, the date was well known in advance. And next week is a holiday for the Commons anyway. This is someone who deliberately chose not to be present.

Let’s face it, if Fartrage didn’t lie and fear monger about Brexit changing, he’d be irrelevant, wouldn’t he? It’s literally the only way he retains a foot in parliament.

Fartrage, the Temu Trump. They both have Steve Bannon's support and Russia's support. What could possibly go wrong?

Let’s just remind ourselves about Farage’s big meal ticket idea again. And no, this isn’t about how the Tories did it, this is just Brexit reality. And Farage would make the deal *even worse*. Pariah status, unreliable, ruined UK howling about immigration and moaning that everything is broken.

The proposal that your unhappiness can be cured by blaming a minority and treating them cruelly is made afresh to each new generation. It has never worked but that never seems to stop people falling for it.

We all know the felon should be inside, the felon knows he should be inside. So he's got nothing to lose by destroying America from within. The longer he's in power, the more time he has to dismantle any opposition, legally, politically or constitutionally.

I can't keep getting angry hearing about That Big Orange Baby and his lies about Zelensky. At least Zelensky didn't have to 'buy' his election from outside. It's pay off time for Pootin. So, Classic FM Calm it is for the foreseeable!

You're absolutely right. I'll never understand why that happened regarding the delay in helping Ukraine, either. I'm just looking for hope and common sense to rear it's head.

Couldn’t agree more. I’m a Brit, but cannot see the beacon of world democracy being brought down by a thug like that. People do need to wake up and I’m hoping things are being done out of the public eye. I look, hopefully, for an obituary every day!!

Not long after her conviction, I commented on an interesting, mature, FB post discussion about the case. A very nice man told me to keep an eye on this case, because it's not how it seems & things will come to light. I think of him every time LL is mentioned. It seems he could be right.
