Boring, opinionated old guy, those just my good points!😊extremely worried for future with 2 extreme far right parties & far right Lab Govt, any/more than 1 of which, will prob be in Govt post GE. Pro EU membership, NHS, equality, Social liberal. 🏏 bore.
Particularly those of the most egregious nature such as the action undertaken by the U.S. in Venezuela.

And what’s more it’s a blatant lie fm Starmer now repeated by Cooper. They don’t support international law. It is not possible to support international law unless you condemn in the strongest, clearest, unambiguous terms ALL breaches of international law.

If Starmer & those who support this statement think that he’s demonstrating support for international law, need to think again. Refusing to directly condemn flagrant breaches of international law is not defending or supporting international law, it’s giving a red light to international law breakers.

If this had been done to another state by for instance Venezuela itself, China, Russia et al the West would have been rightly condemning it in the strongest possible terms, going to the UN, threatening sanctions etc etc. The hypocrisy is utterly overwhelming.

As ever the West refusing to directly criticise blatant international law breaking actions undertaken by their ‘own’ side.

Sure joining the single market is v likely to rank as a ‘great first step’. However, if having a CU relationship with EU is taken literally as ‘not a great 1st step’ surely that ranks as a solid improvement on ‘no step’ ?

HNY … do you believe that there will be any U.S. mid term elections? & do you believe that U.S. democracy, such as that, that still remains will be pretty much destroyed by end of ‘26.

There aren't many things that unite the politics of Starmer's predecessors as either Labour lesder or PM - but one that does is a sense the job was to deliver *something* for their people, even if they defined that group very differently. You do actually need a base that likes and supports you!

Politics in the UK has become so polarized that any progressive government is automatically disliked, despised even, by conservative voters and vice versa. Yet Labour's cunning plan is to try and woo conservative voters treating progressive voters as idiots who will vote for them anyway.

Look at what the Labour voter base thinks of Brexit, Brexit Red Lines, anti protest laws, the crack down on everything Palestine Action, the language on immigration & immigrants, the talk about a bonfire of regulations holding us back etc etc?

Sorry but have to disagree. Absolutely essential that Key & McCullum are sacked. Stokes sacked from the captaincy but still picked to play. And as well as Pope, Crawley unless he does exceptionally well in the next 2 tests, must be dropped for the summer test series.

I’m just agreeing with polling in Israel that shows a majority perceive that Netyanhu’s actions in Gaza/WB have partly been responsible for an increase in anti-semitism. Presume you disagree and think they are shameless Jew- hating hypocrites?🙄
