I am not from or in the USA. Please don't ask me about this!
The 'victory', with 25% fewer votes than peak Corbyn era, was with the smallest no. of votes a majority govt has ever had. The 'landslide' was an artifact of FPTP. Starmer owes more gratitude for his election to Truss & Johnson than to McSweeney.
Keir Starmer:
“It’s been an honour working with Morgan McSweeney for many years. He turned our party around after one of its worst ever defeats and played a central role running our election campaign.” 1/

The BBC News website just cendored my comment. I said, of Starmer: He's done a great deal I am unhappy about. He's a milquetoast centerist. He is competent, which is a massive improvement on the previous 14 years. 1/

So many in the US still believe alienating Trump's supporters via Epstein files will change everything. It won't. US is now an authoritarian, dictator led, rogue state run by anti-democracy oligarchs from the shadows. Getting rid of Trump and his supporters changes none of that.

So, US businesses and citizens will have to pay more for goods from NATO countries. UK sent 1 man, because our ally, Denmark, invited us to. The US currently have c.150 military personnel there, and are also, technically, NATO members. So, I make that a 1500% tariff on US goods & no World Cup.

The old world order is being deliberately dismantled by the Trump regime. Sod the Epstein files. You already know he's a criminal. Stop whining for the files like it's a bone from your master and take the decisive action suggested in your Constitution and amendments. Sort the rest out later.

So, have I got this right? The people who run the US have had a year to organise a cover up and they still haven't managed to do it properly? Exactly how stupid are they?

BBC keeps telling us they give Reform UK a big platform because they got 14% of the vote in 2024. Turnout was below 60%, they got c. 4 million votes. There's 69 million of us. So 6% of their actual viewers voted for Reform. More next time, I expect: free advertising does that.

Why are 'showers' always 'scattered showers'. Surely 'scattered' is redundant?

I think the BBC are headlining the untimely demise of a right wing US pundit (one of 100+ gun fatalities in the US daily) because they are obsessed with their own industry and can't bear to mention Gary Lineker getting 'Best Presenter'.

Why can't Labour do this instead of getting all weird about flags while pretending their houses are shrines to the Jubilee?
Instead they fan Farage's flames, turn up the dial on racism & embolden his base while repulsing their own.

If you want to put asylum seekers into abandoned army camps for no cause other than their membership of that group, I am going to call them concentration camps, because that's what they are. And I am going to call you a fascist and a traitor because that's what you are.

Labour govt in the UK varied: too authoritarian, decent economic growth, too soon to see results from most initiatives.This attack suggests an uncritical reliance on right wing sources. Starmer is unpopular and that's normal one year in. 'Not good' is light years ahead of authoritarian dictatorship.
Gavin Newsom and Buttigege both seemingly want to be the American Keir Starmer, and Americans sympathetic to that pitch should glance over at how things are going across the pond
