Not been aware of this “uproar” anywhere but here. Either on the news or in broadsheet media. And there should be uproar. Because, in a nutshell, it tells you why Reform - in their infantile, idiotic, vengeful inadequacy - are so ragingly unfit for office.

I've been giving Keir Starmer the benefit of the doubt with the various U turns and Missteps. It's a massive job to rectify the 14 years of Tory chaos.
But the poor judgement shown over the Mandelson appointment has severely tested my patience. Maybe it's time for him to go.

Trump has created his Board of Peace solely to try and influence the Nobel Prize committee.

Feverishly raking it in from media deals, gold bullion brand promotion, X and other dodgy work that has nothing to do with his MP duties. Farage is a pisstaking grifter who has made us all worse off so he can get richer. And that’s all he’ll ever do.

Whenever I come across a post about Farage, one of his supporters always writes "he's only saying what everyone is thinking" or something along those lines. Even if you accept the 30% in the polls it still means 70% don't!
Surely it's a typical example of Reform/Farage supporters ignoring facts.

I'm willing to bet that Trump's obsession with owning Greenland has little to do with defence.
Greenlanders and Denmark have said they are happy for USA to increase their military presence and allow for the exploitation of the natural resources. So you have to ask yourself why ownership is needed.

Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any government to say who those rights should & should not apply to. Because none of us then has rights, just privileges that can be taken away by those in power
