www.theguardian.com/politics/202... That shit Reed still pushing the Big Lie that the people thrown out of the Labour Party were antisemitic when in reality they were anti-Zionist, critical of the Israeli government's genocide in Gaza. No wonder the Greens welcomed them.
Is Trump's America the World's first nuclear armed kindergarten ?
Starmer’s government is obsessed with chasing the chimaera of ‘growth’ as if that will be the solution to the housing and cost of living crises. Making the pie larger isn’t going to help if it is still sliced up into such obscenely unequal portions.
NB: quite a lot of older people hate them too; mostly those of us hoping for more than a bunch of Tory retreads.
What a criminal waste of high quality motive power.
These 60s have been moved slightly since my previous visit to Toton. 60035 and 60027 are seen at one end of two rows of various EWS liveried Class 60s stored in some sidings at Toton. (13/04/26)
What will they do when the government loses its appeal and the ban on PA is rescinded? The Met will blow a large chunk of its budget paying compensation to all those people wrongfully arrested. Perhaps they could raid the Chief Constable's pension fund...
www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a... What, apart from puerile name calling, is Trump going to do about the Pope? Will he bomb the Vatican? will he appoint his own ‘Antipope’ and install him at Mar-a-Lago? Barron isn’t doing much at the moment…
Trump will obviously scatter pardons around like confetti at the end of his term. Is there anyway those pardons can be countermanded?
I don't take Prime. But the only sure way to undermine evil right wing populist lies is to make the audience less receptive – and you do that by markedly improving their standard of living, and their hope and belief in a future. This is what Starmer signally failed to do. It's what Biden tried to do
www.theguardian.com/environment/... Once again idiot Starmer puts himself on the wrong side of morality. He really must be removed.
Trump's apparently random threats, usually soon withdrawn, to do serious damage to Iran are not without consequences in the oil and stock markets which are suffering unprecedented volatility. Rich people close to Trump have an opportunity to play the markets and make even more money. Coincidence?
It goes to show that UK tax law is not fit for purpose. Why? Because it's written by accountants so they can make money out of exploiting the loopholes they've built in.
oh well, one out of two ain't bad...
Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...
www.theguardian.com/business/202.... When the economy is weak, imposing a savage increase in Employers NIC is likely to do one thing: increase unemployment – and gosh, look what's happening! Unemployment is rising steeply. This is so bleeding obvious we can only wonder at the incompetence of Reeves.
The way NigelFarage speaks to women is a disgrace. Here’s four recent times he’s patronised them publicly.
You can hear his “Listen love” tone yourself:

I seem to remember on a previous occasion Trump referred to dead soldiers as 'losers'. Quite the charmer.
I suspect the average Telegraph reader is less gung-ho for Brexit than the editorial team is. And yes, it would delicious to see Aliister Heath's nose rubbed squarely in it!
'Patriot' is a word that has been so thoroughly debased as to be utterly devoid of any meaning other than as a pointer to the user's fascistic views.
As a UK taxpayer I resent my tax money being squandered on bringing unpatriotic tax dodging emigrants like Oakeshott et al back from Dubai.
It’s true that Starmer is no Churchill. But Trump is no Roosevelt; he’ll, he’s not even a Gerald Ford.
Trump berates Starmer for not being more like Churchill which is a bit rich considering that Trump is not like Roosevelt. Indeed he’s more like Don Corleone than he is any past president. Imagine a mafia boss with access to nukes!
This 'Labour' government keeps saying it wants to support small businesses and support our High Streets. Yet they inflicted a swingeing increase in Employer NIC and now they're following this up with a massive hike in business rates – hugely damaging to small businesses.
According to the BBC "Starmer accepts that the voters are impatient". Of course they are – they've been waiting 19 months and barely a sign of the changes so desperately needed. No sign of the stupid tit doing anything about it.
Consumer protection, employment protection, environment protection – regulation keeps us safe. You can be sure that any political party promising to cut regulations does not have your best interests at heart.
That should of course be RE-nationalisation of the water industry! Bloody auto-correct.
The one thing that History teaches us is that people don't learn from History ...
www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio... Everyone should see this and then demand the denationalisation of the water industry without compensation, the prosecution of present and past water co executives, and the upper echelons of the Environment Agency. Fuck the shareholders.
The English water companies have been taking the piss for 30 years. It’s time to kick back by re-nationalising WITHOUT COMPENSATION: fixing the mess they’ve created will cost a lot without having to pay off parasitic shareholders.
