Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.

Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.

Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

Fantastic news from Gorton and Denton immediately tempered by BVC R4 Today making it a story all about Labour.
Let’s hear from Zack and Hannah ffs!

Why does BBC keep trailing its interview with Joris Bonkson? He’s the last person whose views I’d want to hear on anything.

The Birther-in-Chief's disgusting history of racism has its own page on Wikipedia.

Absolutely batshit crazy. How can any country have this as its leader? HOW?

I’m from Donbas.
Cold apartments don’t scare me.

What scares me
Is when people get used to our suffering.

So I keep writing.
So you don’t forget
We’re still alive.

Do they understand how mad they sound? As if anyone has ever decided to cross the Channel in a small boat because, if they make it, they might get to take a free taxi to a doctor's appointment?

"Pull factors" on steroids.

Why do I find it quite as depressing as I do that the Today Programme on BBC Radio 4 plays us the sound of geese and tells us it’s the sound of ducks?

Trump's threat to Greenland must be a wake up call for Britain For too long our politicians have toadied to a dangerous president

When Trump says "one way or another we're going to have Greenland" - we should sit up and listen.

Time for British leaders to stop burying their heads in the sand.

Interesting, thanks. One wonders why this didn't kick in when Reagan went so clearly off the rails.

Thank goodness he’s beginning to show signs of a backbone, at LAST. We have to extricate ourselves from any involvement with this maniac. #BotcottAmerica

If even a tiny bit true, the US needs to be removed from the 5 eyes arrangement and the rest of NATO reduce intelligence sharing with the US reduced to β€˜need to know’ only.

You are behind, mate. He’s damagingly unhinged and needs to be sectioned. Does the USA even have the mechanisms to do this?

The whole recent set of Events has persuaded me that there's not really a majority for the new right authoritarianism in the Anglophone world. The public don't actually like it when they see what it is these people revel in. But also various failures in our democracies mean that might not stop them.

Propounding lynch mobs and political prisoners now, it’s obvious who the scumbag is here. Much looking forward to the final annihilation of the scumbag Tories in the next election and Mr Philp to be consigned to the bin for good.

Because if there’s one thing everyone wants in a theater seat it’s harder, colder armrests
