Starting a pointless trade war with our most reliable partner as a distraction from your failed war in Iran (that you launched as a distraction from your administration covering up the Epstein files) isn’t going to win you any votes.

For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.

Most prison sentences end as a matter of course. People re-emerge into society sooner or later. Early release isn't much of a diffrence is it really? Better to seek to address why domestic abuse occurs in the first place.

Like HH The Dalai Lama once said " what is this - self hatred? " He could not understand it because no Tibetan monk experiences it!

As human beings, living on this one planet, we must make an effort to live happily together. The threat of climate change is not limited by national boundaries—it affects us all. We must work to protect nature and the planet, which is our only home.

If you really want to get an insight in how acupuncture works, give some attention to quantum physics. I studied traditional acupuncture for 5 years, practised it for 27 years. It works.

I've decided to leave this platform and my
Department will too.
A platform originally designed for free speech and expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate.
It isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don't want to support it.

Why has BBC got a camera trained "live on Downing Street" during this speech? Are they expecting Starmer to come out shaking his fists or something?

A good man gone for no particularly good reason. I think the UK and in particular its partisan media, is addicted to political circus. What a mess the UK is - Johnson and Farage have a LOT to answer for.

It seems Ursula we are still an island of heathens. And traitors. Thank you for your kind words about Keir Starmer. I voted for him. He was delivering everything I expected him to. This is a sad day and I feel a dangerous one for the future.

As a simple bystander it struck me that the utter lack of loyalty of many back benchers plus press nonstop vilification did the squandering. Never know what you've got til it's gone.
