Has anyone else had a flu/Covidy thing/hideous cold for weeks, then it seemed to get better, only to come roaring back even worse than before? Or am I a lone victim of the plague?

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

Very good from Neil.
For the first time, the MAGA base has turned on Trump - over Epstein. And significantly the rebels were led by a once ultra loyal woman. It shows there’s a limit to the cult’s acceptance, and Trump’s power. It also reveals his weak spot: Epstein and female rage

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

Labour under Keir Starmer is now so far from its roots that it is no longer Labour; it has journeyed so far from the shore upon which it began its journey that the point of departure is no longer visible. The price it will pay for abandoning its beliefs is destruction

It’s strange that so many politicians claim to be Christian. Christ would be on a beach today welcoming refugees off small boats with tea and blankets. He’d be hated by Reform, hated by the Tories and hated by the tabloids. Christ was woke, after all

I’m pro immigration. I vote Labour. I support a strong approach to our borders. I also support safe routes for those fleeing war torn countries. Asylum must be fair to all. I trust Labour to get the balance right. It may take a few iterations. It beats anything Reform advocate

The problem with Labour is also that it stays in its own little WM bubble.
If it were truly a UK party, it would discuss with the nations and perhaps find out that, no immigration isn't a main issue: warmth, food, housing, opportunity, fairness are.
But they continue to believe they know better.
