For someone who used to be so populist savvy Farage is damaging his support with this hero worshipping. Trump is very unpopular with the voters he needs to win over, plus nobody thinks 'lapdog' is a good trait for a future prime minister.

Agree. I have defended him in recent years but his today news plus the bizarre net zero intervention last year show he's no longer a centrist, he's gone native.

It's a war crime, to go with the one in Venezuela. One day, this man must go to jail

"Real military commanders aren’t going 'woohoo, look how many people we killed today' - yet that was the tone of Hegseth yesterday."

"It was, frankly, repellent."

Is Pete Hegseth "revelling" in the deaths of Iranian sailors?

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Worth a watch.

Pete Hegseth, the most incompetent, corrupt, and viciously stupid Secretary of Defense in American history:

"We didn't start the war we started; we're going to end the war we have no plan to end."

This is all going swimmingly so far.

Reform now down to 23% despite the constant bluster. Who'd have thought hero worshipping Trump and becoming a care home for the most conniving Tories would lose them support.

There's a difference between trying to get likes on social media and trying to lead a large Western country. UKs response was the same as France, Germany and the EU.

It is a shame that Andrew's still 8th in line to the throne, but surely if we woke up to find the 7 ahead of him were all dead, including 5 children under the age of 12, the circumstances would be extraordinary enough to take stock of the situation before crowning the next in line?

Obama on Trump's antics, including posting a video depicting him and Michelle as apes: "It's important to recognize that the majority of the American people find this behavior deeply troubling. It is true that it gets attention. It's true that it's a distraction ... people still believe in decency"

Fine but when I speak to people around me in Sheffield about this subject they generally don't know or want to know the details, they see it as more manufactured drama (same as the last 5 PMs). So it could be what MPs are telling you while at the same time not worthy of the hysterical reporting.

Gabbard’s Claim of “Foreign” Interference in Georgia Election Takes a Hit Unsealed FBI affidavits make no mention of DNI’s claim rationalizing her involvement in Georgia election probe

DNI Gabbard claimed she attended the FBI seizure of Fulton County ballots bec she oversees matters involving "foreign intelligence threats" to U.S. elections. Today, the affidavits supporting the FBI search were unsealed- and there is not a word about foreign meddling. www.spytalk.co/p/gabbards-c...

If the current hysteria succeeds in getting rid of Starmer he'll be the 6th PM in a row to not serve a full term.
Are they the problem or are we the problem?

He's the best communicator since Obama. Incredible. I don't agree with much of his politics but I'm happy to go with it, I love how much excitement he's bringing to younger generations

*If* normality ever returns to the US there needs to be a reckoning- Trump,Noem, Hegseth, Miller, the ICE murderers and others need to be in jail. The line was passed a while ago and justice needs to be done

Burnham is paying the price for being shameless with his ambition and putting himself before party and Manchester. It's worth the short term handbags for Starmer to avoid the longterm pain.

Trump has completely caved over Greenland. Embarrassing again. He's been handed his arse by the adults in the room while Farage scurries around arguing the case for him.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

Reform are a vacuum cleaner sucking up the Tories with the least morality, integrity and ability. I daren't think what their cabinet could look like in 2029

Worth reminding ourselves that Greenland is a democracy, governed by Denmark which is a democracy within NATO.
How much lower must we go before someone stops this out of control buffoon?

Let’s see, Venezuela take over, and wanting to take Greenland and at home he’s storming states with shock troops. Clearly we have an idiot in office that will kill us all.
