Trump is about to compound all his stupid decisions this year. He is foolishly considering marine boots on the ground. Better get a good stock of body bags in Don and prepare for the wrath of good American mothers.

Big oil, banks, finance, energy, water........are all making obscene margins and have been for years. They are the reason economic growth has proved to be impossible in recent years

Farage would love to replicate the US health catastrophic health system in the UK. His personal pay off from the insurance companies will be immense

Stomach churning. He is having so much fun glorifying his "god" and war. That such a facile mind is running this death and destruction is so depressing. The world is in a very precarious position.

Putin is the only winner in this war, in a week he has achieved a lifting of sanctions as well as depleting US stocks of munitions, increasing the cost of living. Putin is playing Trump like an old fiddle.

Farage and Trump are fascists who owe nothing to national borders and democracy. Their patriotism is to white wealth and power. It is so sad to know that their lies are believed by so many gullible people.

Listening to these "Christians" I am reminded of Voltaire "if god did not exist it would be necessary to invent him". Trump has reinvented God in his own image.

Putin is playing Trump like an old fiddle. Not only has he achieved the lifting of sanctions on Russian oil he is also achieving huge depletion of US weaponry.
The world should be asking what will he do next.

The only winner in the Iran conflict seems to be Putin. Lifting sanctions on Russian oil is the action of a total coward.

We must peg the price of electricity to green energy costs instead of fossil fuel costs.

Israeli settler attacks soar in West Bank as Iran war rages
Israeli settler attacks soar in West Bank as Iran war rages YouTube video by Channel 4 News

Understandably, the spotlight usually falls on Gaza but what's being inflicted upon Palestinians in the West Bank by Israeli settler terrorists, acting with the blessing of the Israeli government, is another attempt to eliminate a people from their land. Despicable.

The USA will withdraw claiming victory just as they withdrew, in ignominy , from Vietnam.

Are UK judges part of the state as Cunningham claims? Is she thinking of US judges who are extremely political and appointed by politicians.

Farage isn't concerned whether or not a private health service will be good for NHS patients. His only concern is for the cash insurance companies will pay him to privatise the NHS.

Complaining about & blaming Keir Starmer for a long-scheduled, still uncertain, six month distant increase in fuel prices literally *hours* after calling for more war in the Middle East is quite the flex. These are not serious people.

The rise of fascism is a global movement, it owes nothing to national boundaries or democracy but everything to white wealth and power. Farage and Reform Ltd. will never be on the side of hard working people. They will sell the UK in a heartbeat.

War is a terrible thing but the way in which Trump is glorifying it is very worrying. He is behaving like a drug addict hooked on blood and death. God knows what his addiction and voices will lead him to do next.

Badenoch is very confused and rambling. Fuel prices are up due to the actions of Trump and Netanyahu, not the government.

Electricity prices should be locked into the price of green energy, not oil and gas prices.
