It baffles me that the last general election was all about getting the Tories out but now we want to put many of them back into power as members of Reform. Why should we expect better from them, especially when paired with Farage, who brought on the economic disaster of Brexit? This is not change.

The outrageous behaviour of Trump's 'henchmen' continues to spiral out of control. Looking at the evidence and listening to eye witnesses I am reminded of the quote from Orwell's 1984:
"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

Starmer has persisted in appeasing Trump. However, it is clear that he (Trump) is unstable and can't be trusted. We should not be trying to negotiate with the US just now. It is, quite clearly, a waste of time. Time for us to rejoin Europe fully and stand together against rogue states.
