The idea that I would ever work with Tories is absurd. If you don't believe me just ask Lee Anderson, Nadine Dorries, Danny Kruger, Andrea Jenkyns, Jonathan Gullis, Sarah Pochin, Jake Berry, Marco Longhi, Peter Bone...

It is so abhorrent that many police officers simply retired on a full pension and will never face justice. One of the even got a knighthood which I hope will be taken away from him. 97 families were changed forever. As for The Sun who blamed the fans !!

One lesson in life. If you've dropped a bollock, in your private or professional life, apologise and try not to repeat it.
A lesson seemingly not shared by the media pundits and commentators regarding Rachel Reeves.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

It seems to me that there is no negotiating with Russia to end the war. Putin is old school KGB and wants the glory of the USSR returned, ruling the whole of Europe as his legacy. It's like negotiating with suicide bombers though as he has no regard at all for people killed as long as its not him.

Brexit: the trillion pound ‘mistake’
The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit.

The Trump administration's strikes in Venezuela were ordered without Congress, without transparency, and without any justification to the public. These actions are reckless, unconstitutional, and dangerous for our national security.

Is Farage still facing scrutiny over his partner’s £885k Frinton home.
Is it aggressive tax avoidance? Has he misled voters? Where’s the transparency? What’s happening?
Just asking questions.

As much as I'd like to see Whisky Pete lose his job, in the case of the attacks on alleged drug boats, who actually gave the order to shoot again on incapacitated people in the water? This is just as much criminal on the part of the SEALS commander as well as the SEALS themselves. Listen to Kelly !
