Radcliffe should remember we immigrants and children of immigrants are here because of British colonisation and make a huge contribution. He moved to Monaco to avoid £4bn tax. His club Man U owes everything to migrant players and migrant supporters. He’s an embarrassment to the club and game.

My god I cannot believe neither Starmer or McSweeney has not gone. I understand there is no brilliant candidate to replace PM but there were times when resigning was not an option. The Overton window on political resignations is mad.

BBC News coverage completely unfit for purpose in the age of Trump.
The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.
It leads on "sharply contested narratives"
It has a dramatic skew to the US government
It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

There are MANY issues with Starmer’s messaging. But I always thought this govts best and easiest bet was to become THE government of the rules and fair play. Led by a former lawyer, lean into fairness, equality, law and order, justice for workers, respect for international law.

So Trump has said he is going to go in and "run" Venezuela and that US companies will have the country's oil reserves divvied up between them. After he kidnapped their president and his wife. That's where we're at, and we're going to maintain normal diplomatic relations with this man?
