No one responsible for this failure should be given power.
Commentators love to tell us how Farage is different to the politicians that have let us all down. No. He is largely why they have let us down. He is neck deep in the lies, the prejudice and the cultish uselessness of the last decade.

Brian Wilson singing Beach Boys songs at Glastonbury (BBC4) is the antithesis of what’s escalating in the Middle East.
The world should listen to more Beach Boys.

Because of the BBC and the RW mainstream media.
They say what they like; they do what they like; they make life Hell for political opponents- and everyone in power is so terrified of them that they’re unchallenged.
So unless this totally changes- we’re doomed.

Why does Nigel Farage get to play British politics on easy mode? | Andy Beckett
The UK’s electoral system traditionally makes it hard for new parties to succeed. Not Reform. Sitting back from the fray, it sets the agenda, says Guardian columnist Andy Beckett

“Britain is currently in no man's land, chasing a trade deal with the Trump administration while looking for a restrictive reset of relations with the EU.”

If we are going to publish league tables for criminals who were migrants and their nationalities should we also publish league tables of nationalities for those migrants that have made a positive contribution? How many Eastern Europeans, Indians, Pakistanis and West Indians are saving the NHS?

Carney is correct. Trump is permanently burying the US reputation as a reliable partner. No country will trust the US again. That means a global end to economic and trade integration with the US.
The only way the US can limit that damage now is Congress halting the trade war or Trump being deposed.

Brexit has never looked quite so ruinously insane as it does right now. And it’s always been idiotic. Alone, outside the EU, needing to improve our relationship with our own continent but also terrified of the wrecking-ball lunatic in the White House. Cornered by our own ‘sovereign’ stupidity.

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime.
Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government.
At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

Without confronting the impairment of Brexit and austerity directly, the Government risks sinking into the same quicksand that swallowed German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
