Some grim polling here for Labour from Ipsos beyond the headline figures
-69% think Britain is heading in the wrong direction
-Starmer's satisfaction rating at -66
-50% of the public want "radical change" yet only 4% believe Labour will deliver it.

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

Covering Jamal Khashoggi's murder was one of the most disturbing things I've worked on. Hearing Trump say he was "extremely controversial" and people "didn't like him" is chilling. Hard to take any other way than he thinks there is moral ambiguity in the murder of a journalist.

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.
How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

Chris Murphy: "The fact of the matter is if you don't put constraints on Donald Trump's illegality, this democracy isn't going to be here next November. It isn't going to be here in 2028. So Democrats, yes, have to draw firm moral lines in the sand right now."

I don’t think that just releasing the Epstein files is enough anymore. I reckon the death of Epstein in custody now needs reinvestigated. There’s rot here that goes way beyond what most of us imagine

President Trump criticises France and others for celebrating remembrance day, saying, "We're the one that won the wars"
Surreal, and so very disrespectful to every person who fought in the wars for the freedoms we all enjoy today

The obscenity and unhinged greed of Musk's trillion dollar pay deal can be seen clearly when you consider that it would allow him to spend a million dollars an HOUR for 114 years, or a million a DAY for 2738 years. These people are not taxed nearly enough.
