It is always better to travel hopefully than to arrive. The travel is the juice.

Shades of Bette Midler...

This should be sent to Net Stupid Tice in as many ways as possible...

He blinked.

OK, thought experiment. So the other countries Trump has approached agree to provide support, then let's say a UK aircraft carrier is attacked and sunk. Does Trump
A) immediately invoke NATO article 5?
Or
B) shrug & say, 'well it's, tough but they should be better prepared?'

👍

The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.

The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.

Don't know & not sure I care tbh. Though I probably care more than the US government appears to.

Looks like Trump's WH has washed its hands of any safety concerns

Well it would be, wouldn't it. All the Yanks will be heading there.

Can you believe a USA embassy would post this statement to its own citizens?

Suggest Congress closes the door in the President's face so as to remind him not to seek to arrest politically opposed members of Congress.

It's what we do, over here, at our equivalent annual address to the legislature.

BBC to pursue cuts of up to £600m as bosses point to fall in licence fee income Job losses and programming cancellations expected after Tim Davie tells staff broadcaster is not a ‘protected species’

If one of those to go is the hideous Justin Webb, I'll start paying my licence fee again, promise. Meanwhile, the BBC can reap what it sowed.

Good of Suella Braverman to shift the news agenda away from the travails of the Labour Party to the travails of the Tories and Reform.

More like the school that put all the disruptive children in the same class...impossible to control.

Ex-Tory Home Secretary Suella Braverman defects to Reform UK The MP was unveiled as the party's latest recruit by leader Nigel Farage at a rally.

You have to marvel at the logic of the woman arguably responsible for failing to control immigration in the last 5 years joining a party whose major electoral pitch is that immigration levels are out of control.

The way all these appalling ex-Tories have silted up in Reform is reminiscent of those times when schools had policies of putting all the disruptive children in the same class.
Keeping them in order will be impossible.

Dear USA

Policing and law enforcement losing the confidence of the community does not end well.

His analysis isn't up to much if he can't spot the nonsense of the 'board of peace' having 2 of the biggest killers of the 21st century (to date) as members. Plus Orbán, who's nothing but a thug.

He's itching to use the insurrection Act. Then he'll cancel the mid-terms. Who knows the chaos that will create.

As the famous saying goes….”The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” Likewise, the best time to start weaning ourselves off dependence on the US……..

I planted some acorns back in the autumn. We've now got leaf action & shoots on at least 2 more.
