You have some brilliant journalists working under terrible circumstances but unfortunately it is mainly the mainstream,often more biased accounts ,which the majority of people see or have access to outside America.

I understand the distrust to some extent because of some of the sensationalism and misrepresentation of facts by some of the media but wanting to stop journalists from reporting is not the answer.

You have some excellent journalists but unfortunately there is very little coverage on Minneapolis here in the UK.

Yes,unfortunately he is not a good politician.I was prepared to give him a chance but I 'm done with the present Labour Party.I am nearly 70,always voted Labour and can't see a feasible alternative. Very sad about the direction this country is going.

Very stark particularly when we really need a strong government at present.I think Starmer's abilities don't translate to being a good politician.He lacks passion and vision and is a weak leader who will have lost lots of votes due to his ineptitude.

It isn't just about being uncharismatic though is it?I don't agree with the abuse but am very disappointed with the current Labour Party.

Yes,you are right ,that is one of the joys.I find Touker very entertaining although I am not sure I would like to work for him!
I understand some people are nervous and everyone isn't experienced at public speaking but to go on and not understand your own figures..

Really horrendous. Makes me feel so sad.The consequences of this bill would be unthinkable.

Good point,they may not have promised anything but to completely ignore the consequences of brexit and show no interest in the things that would benefit us is disappointing to say the least.

Absolutely Paolo,Starmer has responded appropriately and diplomatically. Criticising Trump in public is certainly not the way forward.
