Any doubt that the US is now a satellite state of Russia is dispelled. Start a war that means the world is short of oil. Claim as a consequence we have to lift sanctions from Russian oil - at a time when oil prices are high. Russian coffers start filling.
That's the God of the Old Testament. Jesus showed a new way. Try reading the New Testament especially the Four Gospels and see if you can see a similarity between Trump and Christ.
In what way?
OFCOM seem to be similar to OFWAT. A regulator that doesn't seem willing or able regulate.
It's useful for some MPs to have additional employment eg doctors & nurses doing enough clinical work to maintain their registration, in case they only serve 4 years. However the 2nd jobs should be time restricted.
Pseudo Christians. The two basic Christian tenets are (1) love creation (the Creator) - not blow it to smithereens. (2) love other people especially the vulnerable - not attack them. People can call themselves what they like, but it is their attitudes & actions that define them.
Steve isn’t quite ready for Tuesday. Actually… he’s not really ready for anything.

What a stupid comment. Starmer has to defend UK interests. We know how vindictive Trump is so Starmer is walking a desperately difficult tight rope between trying to ensure Trump doesn't inflict major damage on UK interests while keeping the UK out of an illegal war, & protecting UK citizens.
Why? We know that Trump wreaks vengeance on anyone who thwarts him, so it's perfectly legitimate for a Prime Minister to 'consider' Trump's request to give him time to work out what tactic will be least damaging to the UK, while complying with international law.
I'm not Labour (belong to another Party) but I respect Starmer, and although I'm passionate about the environment I don't trust the leader of the Green Party.
Says who? Starmer is a decent man constantly belittled and demonised by the right wing media, BBC, Greens, Reform and Scottish Nationalists. He's having to deal with 14 years of Tory corruption and mess, and that will take time.
If it’s true Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick told a business audience last night that renewable companies are "screwed" if Reform get in, it tells you everything about their readiness to inflict national self-harm in pursuit of ideological war on climate action.
When the UK is involved in a war, members of the Royal Family in the Services have to serve, others volunteer eg Prince George an Air Commander (killed in WW2), Andrew a helicopter pilot in the Falklands War, and Harry served in Afghanistan. Plenty of precedents for Trump & Netanyahu.
Codswallop.

The BBC is meant to be independent, that's why it is supported by the TV licence which is paid by people from all walks of life & all political persuasions. It absolutely should not be supporting the right wing. Any presenter, editor efc at the BBC doing so is in breach of this implicit contract.
Yes, yes please.
Congratulations, Simon 🍾
Yep, just like perjury in court, we need a law to make knowingly lying in Parliament/other public forum, while in a public office, a criminal offence with a custodial sentence and barring from office. Journalists/editors repeating the lie would also be culpable.

Again you are obsessed with attacking Labour not Reform. My conclusion - Putin is hedging his ets by financing the extreme right and extreme left wing parties in the UK.
Again Greens more intent on annihilating Starmer than Reform. Is Putin hedging his bets by bankrolling both the UK extreme right and extreme left?
Advantage of a constitutional monarchy like UK, Norway Netherlands etc is the Monarch attracts all the gold, glitter & glamour, leaving the Prime Minister to get on with the job of Govt. Put power & glory together in one ambitious President (eg Russia, Turkey) & dictatorship is the outcome.
Why are Greens so ridiculously anti-Labour? Are they closet Reform supporters? All I ever see is the Green Party (which I once supported when headed by Caroline Lucas) mouthing these anti-Labour slogans. Have they nothing positive to say?
Oh yes, I see. You're right. I can't think of a more recent one. Queen Mary II and Queen Anne helped get rid of their father King James II and their baby brother Prince James - not quite the same.
I think the arrest of Charles 1 in 1647 was the last time a senior British royal was arrested.
I once bought the Guardian and also gave donations to keep its independent voice alive. Not now. It's just another rag, kept, I suspect afloat with Russian money
No, Starmer's got rid of two key BBC right wingers, the Director General and the CEO of BBC News. He has to tread carefully before ousting folk or the right wing media will scream "foul". The turn of the rest - Kunsberg, Gibb, Mason etc - will no doubt come.
