Any deal with clown fascists has got to be bad..
“Starmer now ranks alongside Johnson for incompetence. He may not have challenged Truss as yet. But, give him time.” Who is advising Starmer?
The US trade deal is a bad deal, and it has the potential to get worse www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/05... Someone should tell Starmer that sometimes (by which I mean usually, or even always) no deal is better than a bad deal, because that is what he's got with the USA.

Oh man.. I couldn't agree more!
One thing that gets my goat is that the media can cover Farage ad nauseum, citing the polling support for relevance and popularity, but god forbid it gives a fraction of that coverage to a fact-based debate about how Brexit just ain't working, no matter how much glitter is sprinkled on the turd.

Israeli forces have now dropped more explosives in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden, and Hamburg during the Second World War. The region’s hospitals have not been spared; most are no longer functional. Clayton Dalton writes about the devastation.
The Last Hospitals in Gaza
In the ruins of a health-care system, many medical facilities have become graveyards. Doctors continue to deliver lifesaving care—but they risk their own lives in the process.

I'm sorry, WHAT?!! A mistake?
After 3 years of full-scale aggression with a large number of war crimes and terrorist attacks against the civilian population, does anyone still call such terrorist attacks a mistake?
And I advise you to stay away from such people.
No, russia's attack on Sumy wasn't 'a mistake.' No one accidentally uses a cluster munition warhead against a crowded city center on a major holiday. Neither was the bombing of the Kryvyi Rih playground a mistake, nor were the filmed murders of POWs.
russia systematically uses terrorism as a weapon.
