There is/was differing opinions from Norway about joining EFTA which for the most part was due to the Tories antagonistic attitude and behaviour towards the EU.

I believe now they are more receptive to us joining it.

Rejoining the EU would be my dream but at 72 I'm unlikely to see it.

I’m old enough to remember the Plymouth shooting or the horrific one in Dunblane or the one in Hungerford. All carried out by white British men.

The luxury gap: Trump builds his palace as Americans face going hungry. Schmoozing the super-rich to fund a $300m ballroom while cutting food aid for those on low incomes threw the president’s architectural folly into sharp relief.

What an odd set of options offered in the CBS News Poll. DEI but nothing about democracy or rule of law.👀
A friend who worked in Ukraine some years back said it was then the most corrupt country in Eastern Europe.

Zelensky has enough on his plate fighting Putin without corrupt officials still trying to make gain from the war & Politico taking sides with those very same people accused of corruption.

Paxlovid from Pfizer costs $15 to make and now retails for $1500.

Insane
Just like those in the States on Medicare.
Spot on. If Farage ever gets to be PM 🤨 he'll follow the same path as Trump by looking after his and his mates own interests before the nation let alone its people; Brexit proved that.

PSA on 🇺🇸🇨🇳 deal: "Trump got taken to the cleaners here"

He starts the trade war, Xi puts in place retaliation. China then agrees to stop the retaliation in exchange for Trump stopping his initial trade war threats *and* additional concessions from Trump like giving access to US AI chips.

Every time I visit Italy ( I am in Sicily) I feel the loss. Europe was our natural home — law, culture, trade, defence, shared purpose. We walked away on the promises of Johnson and Farage. They sold pride and delivered poverty. #faragetaxes

24 hours of stress and worry at a time when the CX has more important things to be working on. To all the hacks out there going through the minutiae to find some ‘dirt’ maybe look at Farage and his girlfriend who is already being investigated. Rather than an estate agency cock up
100% agree. I'm sick and tired of arguing with people who believe every bit of misinformation they read in the press or MSM.
Just need to upgrade storage capacity or reserve for night time use now.
I can't see Farage as a religious zealot unless there's something in it for him.
Watch out for extreme right wing Christian fundamentalist rhetoric next from one of his Reform minions.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
Farage to ape USA's Project 2025 with a UK style Project 2028/9
