None of it makes any sense: 1. Create a trade bloc to facilitate trading among member states in Europe... then do huge amounts of trade with China and Russia, 2. Talk about shared European values & prosperity... then let anyone in who rocks up wanting a share of the pie without

It’s reported that in a few minutes, Putin will deliver an important statement. The Kremlin is fully prepared for President Vladimir Putin’s press conference.

Russian and Western journalists are awaiting the Putin’s press conference. Reports indicate Western journalists from BBC, NBC, and CNN are present at the event.

Last time it was this bad for the Tories was under May, because this is a trend, not a blip. The blip was Johnson/Brexit. The constituency for a conservative movement exists but the party abandoned it long ago, & now lacks the talent & philosophy to reconnect.

I’m shocked and devastated to read that Patrick O’Flynn has passed away. His level-headed contributions backed with conviction will be greatly missed. RIP Paddy. A true gent who wanted the best for this country. 🙏🏽 telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…

The elephant in the room being: the Tories agreed to the 2026 Fisheries renegotiation clause in the EU/UK Trade & Cooperation Agreement. 🐘 🐟

Roll up, roll up, for 1 week only, the UK's biggest giveaway. Defence, fish, Mauritius... Unbelievable deals - we can't get rid of them quickly enough. Go on, make us a silly offer, anything you fancy in the Great British sell off.

Not hopeful about the Chagos Islands hearing. Chagossians have lost previously due to loss of victim status. But politically, it's extremely damaging and embarrassing for a government with a human rights lawyer as its leader.

Keir Starmer trying to minimise the annual £101 million payment to the Mauritius (every year for 99 years!) is obscene. That kind of money would transform a medium sized UK city. Go to Plymouth or Derby. Imagine a place like that getting £100M to spend on capital investment.

Come off it. China & Russia are also permanent members of the UN Security Council and neither of them are known for their exemplary human rights record.

There once was a lawyer named Keir, Whose tastes ran to curry and beer. He sold out these Isles, For various styles Of Savile Row suits, and free gear. #StarmerOut
