Donald Trump told reporters that the reciprocal tariffs he is set to announce this week will include all nations.
Keir Starmer must, if he wants to remain in office, rejoin the EU's Single Market.

NEW: Marine le Pen found guilty of embezzlement.

Could face 5 year prohibition on running for office- ruling her out of the 2027 presidential contest.

Oh he can be stopped. It’s just a matter of if anyone has the balls to do it. In an entirely unconnected matter, here’s a list of assassinated U.S. presidents:

Lincoln (1865), Garfield (1881), McKinley (1901), Kennedy (1963)

If it weren't for Brexit, Rachel Reeves would have another £50 billion in her purse; plenty enough to boost the NHS, welfare, and infrastructure, and allow for some tax cuts. What a happier and more optimistic Britain that would be.

That's the price of the delusional idiocy of Brexit.

Just had an alert on my phone from the government. Red Weather warning tomorrow. Schools shut, doctors shut, hospitals cancelling appointments. Going to be a fun day.

Free Palestine has been banned on TikTok as hate speech.

But it isn't banned here.

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees that if you don't want to be compared to Nazis, stop referencing shit from Hitler's speeches, stop supporting far-right extremists in Europe, and stop making Nazi hand gestures.

Can you not see what we mean?

What an incredible, brave woman.
This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

Has this place cheered up a bit, yet?

Or are we still a bunch of whiney liberals wailing uncontrollably into the dark?

And before you start on me, I hate Trump, Space Karen & the entire Tory Party as much as the next man.

I'm just not a bleeding heart.

Too many people take offence on behalf of other people. And they all seem to have gathered on here.

It's like the early days of Twitter. Snowflakes are triggering everywhere.

Nothing but plain old virtue signalling, if you ask me.

What has the World become? Raging facists & simpering children.

During Covid lockdown, if you had family round on Christmas Day the police could force their way into your home and make them return to their own homes.
Does anybody know if this service is still available and, if so, do you have to book it?
