Denmark is a NATO ally. Talking about annexing Greenland is insane.
Every pundit, think tanker, “professional”, etc. who whitewashes it should never be close to power again.

US chicken is chlorinated because America has no animal welfare laws where poultry is concerned. It has to be chlorinated because Salmonella and e. coli run rife
The EU banned that practice in 1997 and as such the UK has among the highest welfare and standards in the world. 1/2

If you were an elderly, moronic, sociopathic narcissist with immense power and had just successfuly kidnapped the leader of a different state, purely so you and your equally sociopathic mates can make *more* money, you would naturally be thinking "where can I do that again?"

Maduro is a loathsome prick, obviously, but anyone not batting an eyelid at the US upgrading from extraordinary rendition on civilians, to extraordinary rendition on presidents, probably needs to have a word with themselves.

Over Christmas, my mum was in hospital. In a bay with other elderly women.
She reported back that they all hated Labour, wanted a Reform government to sort the country out, and 3 out of 4 of them thought there was a conspiracy to kill off old, white people.
They all have a vote.

Not starting the New Year with a hangover is pretty awesome.
I'm far too old for that gubbins now. It was great to hear the kids enjoying themselves last night (I live between 2 pubs), but I was fine with a couple of pints of Guinness and bed.
It was lovely.

I’m a *lot* fed up with the constant gaslighting about what this Labour government has been like.
I’d love a good Labour government. I’d be right behind it - if it stopped the xenophobic bollocks, started treating disabled people with respect etc etc.
Currently, Starmer is Farage’s best recruiter

I am a bit fed up of the constant undermining of a Labour government. Let's start 2026 with some positivity or we will have a Farage 'government' to deal with.
So he’s resigning?

Blackpool is not a happy place.
This is going to make things much worse.
I'm sure Keir 'why mess with the status quo? It's brilliant' Starmer, is really paying attention to this bollocks.

Supporters of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK held the most extreme views of any party backers, with 71% saying that having British ancestry was a prerequisite for someone to be truly British(Guardian 30.12). So that rules out the Royal Family

My 2025 audit:
1. I was wrong about Starmer - I thought there was more there than there is; his failure to kick back hard against racists, bigots and xenophobes has been a huge failure, morally and politically.
2. I was absolutely right about how the second Trump presidency would play out.
