Trump didn't enjoy Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl saying "the worst half-time show ever, nobody understands a word he says." Apart from the 50 million Americans who speak Spanish!

There are two possible explanations as to why Trump constantly defers to Putin; he's either a Kremlin asset or a complete idiot. Upon reflection, a third possibility is most likely - Trump is both!🤔

Ten years on from the referendum many of us feared that Brexit would be bad, it's turned out to be catastrophic. Stanford University have revealed the economic devastation - the figures are eye-watermg - & we live daily with the social consequences. It's a tragedy.

Never has any house been more aptly named than the current White House - a bastion of supposed racial supremacy.

The Trump regime is using the tools of democracy to bury it.They talk of free speech, peaceful protest, fair elections, the rule of law, the constitution, as they systematically destroy them. It's a common tactic of fascists, but too few realise it's happening before their eyes.

The notion that Britain is broken & that a lurch to the populist right can fix it, neglects a harsh truth - things can always get worse. Brexit is the classic example.

There are now 800 confirmed measles cases in South Carolina. Putting an ignorant vaccine sceptic in charge of US health policy has dire consequences. Every child suffering needlessly now is down to the moronocracy in DC.

Whatever people may think of the Assisted Dying Bill, it is important to understand that the Lords do not have the legal powers to stop it. Under the Parliament Act of 1949, the Lords can of course suggest changes, but they have no authority to over-ride the will of elected MPs, nor should they.
