Kemi spends too much time on Twitter and presumably watching GB News from where she spouts drivel. I think voters just don’t even register what she says as the Tory party is irrelevant.

You could argue β€˜job’ is maybe the wrong word. Starmer has a job the others are keyboard warriors whose β€˜job’ depends on how much noise they make on social media or in Farage’s case how much money he can make. How can you measure any of these by their outputs?

What’s interesting is Steve Reed immediately rubbishes Davey who has a point that would surely resonate?

Gosh Steve I left Speke in 1975 for sunny Old Swan then Sheffield in 1981 time flies!

Getting an Evertonian viewpoint nice one!

Tremendous piece, of course Victoria was a complex character and we are seeing that the late Queen was not the saintly person that the tabloids would have us believe.

The finest take down of the institution of monarchy and "class" and the grasping, greedy, venal, entitled, and very stupid people it enables that you will read today or any day.

This is a wonderful piece of writing explaining and emphasising the awfulness but also the reach of Andrew and Epstein beyond the grave .

What do the Mail & Telegraph, Tory & Reform think? They want the UK in a war with no legality hand in hand with a man who is now obviously in cahoots with Putin.

There should be a special place reserved for him and Kate Hoey who deserve each other. Maybe he should read a little history about British & American imperialism.

Just because McSweeney walked the plank doesn’t mean anything has changed.

Seriously what does he know life is like for ordinary Iranians? If they go out on the streets and get massacred again where will he be?

Louise, most people think this whole business is horrific. The Iranian regime is vile but the US & Israel are acting illegally and out of control. The bombing of the school in Tehran might be a war crime. The UK must not give the Americans space to further this war the US is not a reliable ally.

#politicslive I thought Vicky Young BBC reporter was a good honest reporter but did she just really suggest that as the Iran was has started and even though it’s illegal the UK should just join in? Seriously are the BBC following the far right media?

The Mail seems to live in a Kemi make believe world.

Starmer is dealing with a venal media instead of highlighting the venality of Trump and Netanyahu it looks to blame Starmer for not joining in an illegal war started by the Israelis and the US which has no plan and no measure of success. Neither give a fig about the ordinary Iranians.

The Mail is the enemy of the people trying to undermine at every opportunity.

Yet nobody Sky, BBC, etc really take her to task at least on Breakfast TV they called her for her adolescent rant about Cyprus but really she deserves being ignored as she is so poor at the job.

Iraq re-run? Might even invite whatever Islamic State calls itself these days. The Americans seem to think this is some medieval conflict where you offer opportunities to random armies with different objectives to pile in.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Maybe the reality is the UK cannot realistically defend Cyprus or anywhere else!

The Americans are supposedly in NATO and the 5 eyes group so are you suggesting they told the UK in advance? Are you suggesting the UK join in? Or did Starmer miss all those articles and opinions put out by Sky and others that the UK send that destroyer to Cyprus? ( there were none of course)!
