Hmm, yeah, maybe. Or it could just be that nothing about her or her track record suggests she'd be up to the job. I respect her achievements, but a diplomat she ain't.

? I haven't named any of them as being any better. That's the whole problem, there is no clear leader among them.

Why would you assume that from a single observation? Just because someone holds an opinion you disagree with doesn't necessarily make them an -ist of any kind.

Can you see Rayner in a room with Xi, Putin, Trump, Modi, at the UN, NATO, Brussels? She's great exchanging barbs at the Despatch Box and would certainly stand for causes, but a diplomat she isn't.

Miliband 🤦🏻‍♂️

LOL!

Rayner would be Truss-like box office, entertaining but disastrous. Burnham, great local politician and fighter of causes, but both utter lightweights on the big stage. Streeting would have the Left in arms, Cooper has been found out and demoted, Lammy (🤪), who else have we got?

No? Who among Labour's ranks could demonstrably do a better job, do you think?

IMHO Starmer is hapless if not hopeless in the role, but there doesn't seem to be any (seriously) viable alternative.

Thoughts and prayers and all that. Go America, go NRA!

Ever seen an assassination attempt where bystanders are actually filming the shooter get into position, long before getting a shot off?

Didn't think so.

The Kinahans have been hiding there in plain sight for years, along with hundreds (thousands?) of known criminals. Presumably this sudden arrest is a quid pro quo for something else.

Agreed, the editor should have scrapped the Tice piece on the basis of merit, but the idea that it's always 'all or none' isn't realistic.

Er, Kemi Badenoch was on. She's the LOTO last time I checked.

Just received this today, a great-looking watch for a bargain €150. All the style and none of the worries about being mugged for a $10,000 Rolex. Oh, and battery powered, so it'll even keep proper time!

Signature illiteracy, of course.

Is it like eating ass?

It's a pity popes don't have armies and navies of their own these days

That's a very cute kitty 😻 (btw, our vet advises to remove bells from cats' collars, says it causes them stress)

Except, the President sharing an image of himself as JC was real.

The presidential pardon is a mobster's charter. The next president with a backbone should consign it to history.

Whatever Epstein knew, Netanyahu knows.

Trump is fortunate that popes no longer have an army and navy of their own

Just buy a Timex for under €180 😉

Fair.

It's an international waterway over which no one, including Iran, has jurisdiction. It's a pay-off to terrorists.

Not a sci-fi fan at all, but Project Hail Mary is ace 👌🏻 10/10

The presidential pardon needs to be obliterated by the next responsible president. It's a mobster's charter, as this crook has amply demonstrated.

"... This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue." Make this sentence make sense.

ChatGPT tried 8 wrong names, mentioned the same incorrect name 4 times, and finally wouldn't admit it didn't know. 🤷‍♂️
