I doubt Europe will ever forgive the USA for allowing Trump to stay in power and actively and deliberately work with Russia against Europe & Ukraine.

and all Putin's efforts will be on keeping Trump in power. A US civil war can't be ruled out if Republicans loose House & Senate and the Executive doesn't accept. A civil war would suit Putin.

Your memory is fine James and Kemi's belief that she is a traditional Conservative shows she is deluded. She is just as right wing as any of her recent colleagues.

The 'other people don't matter to him' (Trump) statement cannot be said often enough. There is no evidence that anyone, even in his own family, really matter to him. So when it comes down to a choice between the needs of his ego and what is right, his ego wins every time. Frightening.

When all the details of Trumps activities eventually emerge it will be the most shocking indictment of a public figure ever in world history. Even then there will be millions of Americans who will either not believe it or more troublingly brush it off. This shouldn't happen in a democracy.

This is a stark warning: the climate emergency is here, yet the Government moves at a snail’s pace. It's time for a national strategy: funding cool hubs for vulnerable groups, mandating cooling and ventilation in new homes, supporting drought-affected farmers and heat-proofing NHS facilities.

Trump will try and rig the mid terms but the team behind him will want to do it more. They are younger and have a lot longer to live with the consequences of losing. The leading figures are guilty of so many crimes and can't escape by just saying Trump told them to do this or that.

Burnham saying this is last chance for Labour is stupid. It's a populous statement aimed at those that don't think further than the last tabloid headline. Maybe that trivial approach from the left or right is all the majority can sign up to. Depressing.

I've never regarded Kuensberg a journalist, she's more of a presenter (a biased one). The BBC seems to merely tolerate proper journalism, the time it fostered it has long since gone. But Ms Cadwalladr is the real deal, widely respected because of it and the envy of presenters everywhere.

The thing is partly because Trump doesn't hide how he is going to rig the election any voter who votes for him is supporting breaking the law. Such folk shouldn't be allowed to vote in a supposed democracy. If millions vote for him they are voting for a Dictatorship.

Trump won't sign the Russian sanctions bill because Putin will be upset if he did. A major reason why Putin will not concede in Ukraine is because he believes Trump's support will in the end bring him victory. Keep saying it 'Trump is a Russian asset'.

Never before has a politician announced their intention to run for re-election on an explicitly pro-sleaze, anti-transparency ticket. Never before has a politician gloried in having enriched themselves by breaking the rules, and then demanded a mandate to continue doing so indefinitely

Nigel Farage’s 'Pro-Sleaze' By-Election Is A Sign Of Terminal Weakness

A thought. Russia is willing to deliberately sacrifice 30,000 soldiers a month without a thought for them. Do you think Trump cares anymore about the lives of ordinary Americans. I suggest he only cares about their votes. It's just money & power, they are both the same.

Climate change is factually true and Brexit was factually a disaster (the supposed democratic benefit, own laws etc factually doesn't stand up to scrutiny in the current world) so why are these RW party's still pedelling the opposite?

The unnecessary extra billions for DHS & ICE should worry America. It points to Trump beefing up his ability to win the midterms illegally. Also extra money for the Military! will he try and use them & will they concede if asked? All dangerous.

Condemning riots isn't enough. We need policy action, including an immediate appraisal of X as a vehicle for coordinating far-right disorder. And we need political leadership, to challenge white nationalism as an idea, not to validate it daily and then complain when it turns violent.
