That's funny, I could have sworn he said something about not needing Royal Navy vessels because the war was already won.
You broke it Don, you fix it.

Mandelson files expose โ€˜dreadful judgmentโ€™ behind Ambassador appointment Released Mandelson files confirm concerns existed before his appointment, intensifying scrutiny of the PMโ€™s decision.

Well told by my excellent MP @andymcdonaldmp.bsky.social

But I'll say out loud, what Andy can't.

Keir Starmer has got to go now - and take Labour Together with him

Investigate miscarriage of justice and quash Post Office Capture convictions, MPs say Fujitsu, the maker of the faulty Horizon software, has yet to pay anything towards redress while still benefiting from state contracts, the Business and Trade Committee said.

Parliamentary Committee urges UK govt to quash convictions arising from the Post Office's Capture software, the predecessor to the faulty Horizon IT system.

Around 100 postmasters were also prosecuted by DWP. After 30 years still no investigation.

Need justice for all.

Crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne no longer interested in Reform-Tory pact Donor who has given ยฃ12m to Reform UK had previously wanted Nigel Farage to keep open mind about deal with Conservatives

Crypto billionaire no longer interested in Reform-Tory pact.

He lives in Thailand, given ยฃ12m to Reform UK.

Farage pushes for wider adoption of cryptocurrency, promised to cut tax on crypto.

Another example of the super-rich buying power/influence, shaping public choices.

Why is GB News suggesting immigration in the UK is a โ€˜genocideโ€™ of white Brits? | The News Agents GB News has been criticised for hosting a so-called political commentator who claimed migration in the UK is the same as a genocide. In the words of Jon Sopel: โ€˜What the actual fuck?โ€™

In the words of Jon Sopel: "What the actual fuck?"

GB News this week suggested migration in the UK is a "genocide" of white Brits.

Is conspiracy theory the only thing that can get through its guests' "dull, dead synapses"?

When Trump is gone, we will really know what has happened, disgusting stories about abuse, rapes, etc. We will be shocked, deeply shocked.
MAGA is going to deny everything and call everything a HOAX.

It will take years to investigate, prosecute and indict them allโ€ฆ.

Superbugs resistant to antibiotics are rising fast. I tested water at Lough Neagh (40% of Northern Irelandโ€™s drinking water) & found high levels of antibiotic-resistant genes from human & livestock poo. If we treat waterways like sewers, this is what we get. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

They say Hugo Chavez was a corrupt criminal because they claimed he had stolen $4bn which zero evidence.

Now Donald Trump steals $10 billion in one dodgy deal.

What is he?

Sorry been quiet for ages due to illness. The coverage thing is still an issue. Greens might have had a boost but I wonder if thereโ€™s an agenda to shape things as far right v far left, setting greens up as geeky & far left (which theyโ€™re not). Still the Libs get NO regular coverage despite 72 MPs

Trump just lifted sanctions on Russian oil currently at sea!

Who gains the most from Trumpโ€˜s war on Iran?

Why is Putin always the beneficiary of Trumpโ€˜s actions?

Zelensky, however, diverged from Macron on the US decision to lift the ban on some Russian oil exports. He said the decision โ€œwould not help peace.โ€ ENDS

Water crisis looms as company warns it canโ€™t meet demand for new homes Councillors say it must serve as a wake-up call on the Labour government's plans to build 1.5m new homes

South East Water says it can't provide water to all new homes

Water companies haven't built new reservoirs for decades, paid dividends, govts did nothing

Govt wants to build new homes but no infrastructure planning. That's what happens when you privatize essentials infrastructure.

Trump has stabbed Zelensky and Ukraine in the back yet again โ€“ and saved Putin from bankruptcy. The madman cannot be trusted. So Europe must give Ukraine the weapons it needs to end this war ASAP.
