With courage Starmer could easily achieve "laudable aims" by rejoining Single Market, but alas he and Labour MPs are terrified of losing what they most value, their own jobs

If Johnson were a public or private executive he would be charged with criminal negligence.

It's astonishing that Starmer and Reeves don't grasp what a positive effect it would have in terms of sheer uplift it would have on UK's economic prospects if they declared the wete aiming at a return to the Single Market.

Starmer is the weak link, he's still clinging on to the long disproved notion that there's a "special relationship" between UK and USA.

So so many are saying so so often about so so many issues "I would never have believed a Labour government would..."

And representative surveys, how accurate are they ? The fact remains Franco was a monster.

I just happen to be in Barcelona today where an educated guess would put the "very bad" opinion much higher than 50%. My own score is 100% "very bad"

Zelenskyy didn't have 1 trillion dollars in his wallet.

"OK, dismemberment was OTT, but the guy was asking for it" says Trump as he accepts 1tr dollars from feudal monarch.

Has no lip reader told us what's being said in this much broadcast exchange?

So many present Labour MPs, even Cabinet members, would never pass a "what are Labour's core values" question at selection conference.

"Daily Torygraph" used to have more of it's own reporters in the field than usual in Fleet St. & once you discounted its political bais, was worth reading. Now it's pitching for the extreme Tory Right/Farage readership.

FDR was pragmatic, his radicalism came as a response to the collapse. I fear Trump will lead USA to a collapse before remedial action is taken.

Starmer's fear of Farage has left him pathetically dependent on Trump. It's now beyond embarrassing & becoming dangerous.
