Red Button

I suppose he looks like a man Trump wants to have sex with, that’s probably where we are now.

That is so H R GIGER!

Back in the day things were built to last, today not so much.

You had tongue in the fridge?

Does Trump know he doesn't need other people to make him look bad? I mean a criminal, grifting, rapist and pedophile can do that all on their own.

Can’t wait to see Hannah in Parliament, nothing scares the establishment more than a feisty working class woman!

It’s going to be great!

Anyone else have the feeling that the US is headed for a big embarrassment with the Iran situation?

If things tilt too far, Trump won't give up. He'd rather take the whole world down with him than suffer humiliation.

America must take back control of Washington from Netanyahu.

I wonder if Stella would have written this piece if Labour had won in Manchester..?

Labour abandoned the left years ago, and are now a party which stands for nothing and will be replaced by the Greens.

Good Riddance, time for change..

Private Eye

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

I wonder if Stella would have written this piece if Labour had won in Manchester..?

Labour abandoned the left years ago, and are now a party which stands for nothing and will be replaced by the Greens.

Good Riddance, time for change..

He’ll go down for a lot worse than that and its why he is behaving even more irrationally than normal.

Great podcast

This is tremendous!

The Prime Minister is asked about abolishing leasehold.

He answers on management companies and ground rents that makes it really clear Labour have no intention of abolishing leasehold.

5 million people stuck paying service charges because Labour stand with property developers.

Reform UK Doesn't Really Care About Democracy The threat to democracy today isn't "sectarianism" or "family voting." It's the Trumpian impulse to cast doubt on legitimate election results.

Gotta get Trump to stop calling a war IN WRITING

I remember the lead up to the 2nd Gulf war very well indeed.

All the WMD stuff and the "if we don't stop them now they'll nuke us" lies.

It was absolute bollocks and obviously so, and this repeat version of it being pushed by pro Trump pro war factions is dangerous, fanciful nonsense.

When the USA invaded Vietnam it predicted it would acheive total victory within 6 months.

19.5 years later the USA was defeated after Vietnam received massive support from the Soviet Union and China.

Now they think they will defeat Iran in 6 weeks...

Labours attitudes towards water companies is one of the starkest examples of how they'll do anything to protect the status quo.

The case for water nationalisation is so bloody obvious to everyone - yet they'll do anything they can to keep the failed privatisation experiment.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but South Koreans took 6 hours to stop their insurrection, 10 days to impeach the president behind it, and just 6 weeks to convict him. He was sentenced to life in prison 2 weeks ago. Their country's stock market shot up 10%.

Exactly 💯

Starmer seems to have found his spine, it’s been a long time coming, Labour leader Harold Wilson made his best decision ever by not getting involved in America’s disastrous war in Vietnam..

Trump sounds mad.

Proper nuts. But more than anything he sounds REALLY rattled as he rants and raves about Britain.

If Starmer sticks to his guns I suspect this will all play in his favour.
