Boris Johnson says Keir Starmer has made us an irrelevance on the world stage...
Today we launch our plan for Wales, putting behind us the dark days when Nathan Gill, the Leader of Reform in Wales, took bribes to do the bidding of foreigners.
In other news, we have just had another Β£3million donation from a crypto investor who lives in Thailand...
Thats dividends for you. Alternatively, what first attracted investors to privatisation.
Privatization picking our pockets.
Another Royal Mail price hike: Form 7 April 2026 1st class postage price Β£1.80, 2nd class 91p.
When privatized in 2013 by Tory/LibDem Govt: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p.

βHungarian reports described how black-clad officials from Hungary's TEK counter-terrorism centre raided the Ukrainian-registered vehicles on Thursday and then their convoy headed to Budapest.β

Too kind!!
Itβs taken he ages - but Iβve produced a Venn diagram showing the overlap of people who think
1. Brexit means Brexit
2. War in Iran is good
3. Jim Carey is a clone
On the other hand the UK won't be getting a Tory Government for some time, so plenty to celebrate for the rest of us.
Panic spreads across CCHQ as her minders realise that Kemi has somehow given them the slip, and managed to break into the BBC Breakfast studio
βThatβll cost us another 10 points in the pollsβ sighs a CCHQ insider
Scary!!
A new nadir for UK politics.
Reform councillor Graham Eardley has been suspended for behaving so aggressively towards a female volunteer that security had to escort him out. Thatβs at least 63 Reform councillors gone in ten months β nearly one in ten!
Why is no one standing up for the people of Lebanon? Why is Israel allowed to destroy another country? 80,000 displaced because of Netanyahu - a war criminal allowed to live out his evil dreams. The world just lets Israel commmit war crimes. Claims they have a right to defense. This is not defense
Billionaire brothers who backed Tories give Reform Β£100k Oliver Wright Extracts Britain's second-richest family have begun giving money to Reform UK after years of supporting the Conservatives. A company linked to the property tycoons David and Simon Reuben donated Β£100,000 to Nigel Farage's party the first time the brothers have given to any party other than the Tories. Reform has also received Β£3 million from Christopher Harborne, 63, an entrepreneur who now lives in Thai-land, adding to the ty million he gave in August. At the time, that was the biggest single donation to a UK political party by a living donor. In the last quarter of last year, Reform received more than Β£5.4 million in do-nations, the Conservatives were given Β£2.4 million and Labour received Β£1.9 million. The Reuben brothers - David, 87, and Simon, 84, who own property including Millbank Tower and Admiralty Arch in London β have donated almost El million to the Conservative Party since 2008. They also supported Boris Johnson after he left No 10, giving him office space worth Β£85,000. Their family wealth was put at Β£26.87 billion in The Sunday Times Rich List last year. Reform UK has its headquarters in Millbank Tower, but it is not known whether the brothers donation linked to reduced rent payments. Other Reform donors include David John Grainger, the co-founder of a biotech firm, and Gary Dutton, a double glazing entrepreneur, who both gave the party Β£250,000. Reform also received Β£100,000 from Isabel Goldsmith, sister of the former Tory minister Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park. Her father, Sir James Gold-smith, was seen as the godfather of British Euroscepticism. For the second quarter in a row Lord Bamford, the chairman of JCB, gave Β£200,000 each to the Conservatives and Reform. At the time of his first do-nation, the company said he was "sup-portive of pro-business political parties that create the conditions for these businesses to grow and prosper".
More billionaire cash bankrolling Reform.
JCBβs chairman, Bamford, said he was βsupportive of pro-business political parties that create conditions for these businesses to grow and prosper."
Reform wants to repeal the Equality Act.
Prosperity for them means loss of rights and pay for us.

Putin or Trump. Who will Infantino award the next FIFA peace prize to.

Especially hearing Badenough crowing. A Mark 2 version of Truss, equally deluded, and unwilling to accept the role that the Tories played in the political farce "How not to run a modern country". I'm not saying that Starmer is perfect, but the inherited mess plus world turmoil isn't an easy task.
They haven't got much left to moan about so they moan about all the consequences of their failed policies from the last decade. Hoping no one will notice it's they that have caused it.
Add to it:
Roads in the uk worse than most in Africa
NHS crumbling
Education on its knees
Infrastructure in desperate need of repair and improvement
Tax the richest the most
Make the uk fair financially
Then fix the problems and
Enrich wildlife and environment
US officials say Russia is giving Iran intelligence on the locations of their warships and aircraft β including the positions of radar systems.
When Kamala Harris told King Donald the Mad that Putin would βeat you for lunch,β she forgot breakfast and dinner
All the usual suspects are blaming Starmer for taking two weeks to get HMS Dragon to Cyprus.
Hey guys, it's a warship. Not a cruise liner.
The fleet was massively reduced for a decade by the Tories and the remaining cash poured into two massive penis substitutes masquerading as aircraft carriers.
Trump has seen how ineffective the lCC is nowadays as Putin's War Crimes have gone unpunished. The reaction to Bush and Blair crimes Iraq's gives further credence to the belief that ordinary citizens have no protection against war criminals.
