Trump’s family is billions of dollars richer than last year. The average American family? They’re worse off.

Trump’s top priority has always been himself. If he spent half as much time actually being President as he has profiting off his presidency, the story might be different.

“People in this country, millions of people have been let down for years and years, and one of the reasons was austerity which his party supported.

"He should take accountability and take responsibility for what he has inflicted on this country.”

Putting a lying Europhobic imbecilic fossil like John Redwood in the House of Lords is a national humiliation that underlines Westminster politics as nothing more than a broken-headed necrotic shitshow.

One of the maddest elements of Brexit - and there are *many* - is the rewards that continue to be lavished on the blithering idiots who sold it & continue to be proved wrong about everything every day…

"Arise, Lord Redwood!"

This country is such a farce, pathetic.

Remember when John Redwood warned senior business leaders not to get in the way of Brexit, or they would pay a very heavy price? Just the sort of man who should be lording it over us now.

It's not an element of Brexit. It's an element of Britain.

You allow such brazen political corruption to continue by maintaining a medieval system where any failure or moral vaccum can be made a parliamentarian for life.

And you call them Right Hon after that. Like this would even mean anything.

This is another perfect example of why the House of Lords needs to be abolished and replaced with a more modern, accountable second chamber. Redwood was wrong about EVERYTHING. He lied about EVERYTHING. Yet there he is, a Lord of total incompetence, with a job for life at taxpayers' expense. 😡😡😡

Or the intelligence services

Trump shows up over a million times in the unredacted Epstein files. And that's the half they released. Imagine what's in the half they didn't release.

That means that the DOJ redacted Trump's name about 950K times in the 3M documents they released. www.axios.com/2026/02/10/t...

Agree. It's where all the systemic issues in the UK came from. Everything since (austerity) has exacerbated the situation, culminating in brexit & now a lurch to populism. It all stems from bank deregulation (Brown too), then failings in 2009/2010 crisis to hold those people & banks accountable.

The baffling thing journalists (especially BBC) just seem to let Labour get away with "he lied during vetting" when Mandelson's deep and repeated corruption is on his fucking Wikipedia page.

New Labour is dying with its architect. All his influence needs to be rooted out like dry rot.

It's disturbing to see how Gordon Brown has whitewashed his reasons for reappointing Mandelson, and his own role in eroding democracy. Mandelson's official business was similar to his unauthorised scheming with Epstein. Don't let them rewrite history.
