Labour will introduce a fiscal lock to protect families from a repeat of the mini-budget.

Britain needs change with a Labour government.

Liz Truss’s journey from being a rather drab career politician with little imagination or talent to a catastrophic Prime Minister & extreme right wing Trump supporter is a story about the rise & fall of Tory Party which historians will look back at for generations to come

Donald Trump was on criminal trial today. He’ll be on criminal trial tomorrow. Goodnight.

If he gets acquitted—which no lawyer believes he should be, given the evidence against him—this’ll be why. Because MAGAs don’t believe in rule of law, they believe in Trump. The word “principle” below should have a [sic] after it; it’s being used inconsistent with its definition.

On first day of 'Stormy Daniels payment' trial, Donald Trump accused of not being 'woke'

This is the rule for *every* criminal defendant at *every* criminal trial in this country. #TrumpTrial

Israel started this, the retaliation was justifable -- although an overaction -- but that doesn't mean a wider war is good.

Iran attacked a nuclear power; nobody does that.
Actually, Ukraine does, a bit -- and that is also reckless -- but they are fighting for their survival.

I condemn Iran’s unprecedented attack on Israel.

I also condemn the reckless Israeli airstrike on Iran’s embassy compound in Damascus.

In the midst of growing Middle East tension, we cannot ignore for a moment Netanyahu’s horrific war against the Palestinian people.

think it would be nice if Trump got ten days in prison for every second he spent inside of Stormy Daniels
Or is 80 days not enough?

It's easy to be cynical about the upcoming #TrumpTrial ; the man is a walking example of how wealth and cronyism protects the elite.
But someone has already gone to jail for this very same crime.
If convicted, he 'could' be wearing orange as early as June 1st.

Imagine Grandpa Dum Dum’s rage as he sits through jury selection watching his most valuable asset plummet.

It’s down over 12% today.

Republicans complaining that Trump can't campaign effectively with all his court cases and legal bills should have thought of that before they elevated a pathological liar, raging narcissist, and lifelong criminal to the US presidency.

They all knew who he was.

I get it, Israel bad so Iran good, right?
Israel's attack demanded a response; Iran's response was an over reaction.
However, those who have not studied international relations should be cautious before they celebrate what might feel like karma.
A wider war in the ME helps nobody

There are some nazis living in Ukraine.
They also have some in the USA.
That doesn't make it OK to invade and annex it and insist it was never a real country anyway.

The US wants no part of a wider war in the Middle East but they will enable Israel regardless.
I still 'think' Biden will win the General Election but the greatest threat to that victory is his ideological and practical support for Netenyahu.

British cuisine isn't great.
But Afternoon Tea is...

Labour are looking for two terms at a minimum.
'Centre-left governments, often taking over from a collapsing populist party on the right, have failed in recent times, in the hope that a first-term Starmer administration could avoid the same fate.'
