There’s a very small chance that we’ve become slightly dull middle-aged men.
But at least we’re not in the Epstein Files..!

Bloke in most important job in the country makes huge error of judgement, but because acknowledged it he should keep the job..!?

Not doing so would undermine public trust and discourage enemy combatants from abiding by the laws of armed conflict.
This is an irresponsible idea and unbecoming of a former senior officer.
No one should be above the law.

This is a terrible idea. Utterly terrible.
I served for well over 20 years. Including in Afghanistan and Iraq.
If my colleagues committed crimes they absolutely SHOULD be prosecuted.

I imagine an well made, thoughtful documentary about the intelligent, articulate and attractive former First Lady would be far more popular than being forced to watch a film about that bland personality vacuum.

As an Englishman and former member of the front row union, I’d rather see Welsh rugby looking stronger.
This match used to be the most exciting in the 5/6N.
There should be more passion and no more than a few points either way at FT.

Stop simply telling us that ReformUK are a bunch of lying, cheating, racist, failed Tories.
We already know that.
Tell us instead about the positive difference that socialist-green policies can make.
We need a positive message. Not just squabbling.

I think our friends in the USA are all too aware of this.
We need to offer them support and friendship in this difficult time and offer some rehabilitation and forgiveness when the current crisis inevitably ends.

I agree with Yusuf.
Immigration is MY top priority.
We need much more of it.
We need to make it easier.
We need to celebrate it.
