I don't really think the idea that a president can do what he wants in terms of attacking another country does anything to deter Russia or China.

Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch have so far said nothing. Nigel Farage reckons illegal military action to cause regime change in Venezuela "might be a good thing". Might not agree with Ed Davey on eveeything, but this statement from him is much needed.

Serious consideration needs to be made about leaving that site.
It's dangerous.
I know you said you need to be where the constituents can reach you, but this place is free to join, so there's really no excuse for any decent MP now, no matter the party.

Under every government or ministerial post I've seen is an avalanche of childish pejoratives and endless racism, xenophobia, misogyny and other bigotry. If they think they're spreading a message they're utterly deluded. It's just a sewer.

I can't tell you how many people I know who have stayed on that platform while purporting to be opposed to Musk and his politics. The hypocrisy really gets under my skin. Nobody *has* to involve themselves in his "arena of free speech".

Chief political commentator doesn't understand a basic statement from Mamdani. He means using long words, sophistry, polite phraseology & grammatically correct English allows awful people to present bigotry without the cruelty of the result of their bigotry being a matter of public criticism.

It's deeply discriminatory.
Yaxley Lennon has another citizenship, not merely a theoretical one, and a history of criminality, yet we keep taking him through our courts at great expense.
Why not simply expel him?
Do that, and then explain to us the threat posed by a 15 year old girl.

Not everyone supports teeny tiny tommy 10 names. Great to see him being barred from this pub.Kudos to the landlord. But sad to say followers of rancid robinson have been posting horrendous reviews about the pub. Something should be done about this.
