He may not have won the peace prize, but Trump's Director of Communications is certainly a contender for having said the most ridiculous thing in US history. Stephen Cheung speaking of his boss, "he has the heart of a humanitarian." Forgive me - WTF!!

Trump & his various goons & sycophants are as much a crime syndicate as the Corleones.

Sadly, he's probably got a lot longer than many of us would wish for. I'm not even sure he'll leave quietly in 2029!

It is a clear sign of Tory desperation that they are promising a model of deportations similar to that being used by ICE in the US. These are cruel, socially divisive & close to barbaric.

I agreed with one point Hesgeth made in his frat boy speech - 'fat' guys shouldn't be running the US military.

As social & political divisions in the UK widen & become ever more toxic, the need for electoral reform has never been more urgent. More rational democracies have voting systems that usually demand cooperation & compromise, not endless conflict. We are currently digging our own graves.
