Reeves is correct in what she is saying right now. Her reform of the fiscal rules to differentiate investment from current spending was crucial. There's much to criticise her for, but she gets nowhere near enough recognition for this.

More should have been made about Farage's absence from Parliament in the week of the summit. After all, the date was well known in advance. And next week is a holiday for the Commons anyway. This is someone who deliberately chose not to be present.

Let’s face it, if Fartrage didn’t lie and fear monger about Brexit changing, he’d be irrelevant, wouldn’t he?
It’s literally the only way he retains a foot in parliament.

NEW: HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has directed the CDC to look into the use of ‘vitamins’ as a possible treatment for measles.
The CDC’s latest update reports 935 confirmed measles cases across dozens of states — officially more than triple the total reported in all of 2024.

Let’s just remind ourselves about Farage’s big meal ticket idea again. And no, this isn’t about how the Tories did it, this is just Brexit reality. And Farage would make the deal *even worse*. Pariah status, unreliable, ruined UK howling about immigration and moaning that everything is broken.

The proposal that your unhappiness can be cured by blaming a minority and treating them cruelly is made afresh to each new generation. It has never worked but that never seems to stop people falling for it.

We all know the felon should be inside, the felon knows he should be inside. So he's got nothing to lose by destroying America from within. The longer he's in power, the more time he has to dismantle any opposition, legally, politically or constitutionally.

Does the world really believe Trumpet has the balls, the moral fibre, to accept Zelenskyy's invitation to visit Ukraine and see with his own eyes what's happening over there?
No, me neither.

I can't keep getting angry hearing about That Big Orange Baby and his lies about Zelensky. At least Zelensky didn't have to 'buy' his election from outside. It's pay off time for Pootin.
So, Classic FM Calm it is for the foreseeable!

Hostages?
Doesn’t bode well, when a ‘president’ doesn’t tell the difference between a hostage and a thug.
