There is obviously an ‘underground’ resistance movement in Russia, partly from reports of railway infrastructure being damaged by fire, etc. I would have hoped that internal opposition could overthrow the present incumbents of the Kremlin. Perhaps expecting too much as Putin’s control is so complete

Heaven help tourists then especially in hire cars, and if non-white.

👍I think actually VueScan is more for scanners as it keeps my older CanonScan working with newer Mac OS.

Have you tried VueScan from Hamrick software?

No! Really! Good job we’ve got the Daily Gloom to inform us.
The replies are brilliant.
😂😂👏👏

‘Donkeys’ have been at the forefront of this type of criticism since the daft days of a Yes/No referendum on leaving the EU, from 2018.

Trump just wants transactions. Doesn’t care about whom he treads upon. Transactions for minerals, oil & gas. Just MAGA. Transactions to build his ballroom, festoon the White House & Mare Lago with gold bric-à-brac. Etc.

They are emboldened by Trump, and what he is doing to support extreme right wing media. Please push Ofcom to close them down, do everything in your power in Parliament. This is all a modern equivalent of Fascism creeping here & elsewhere in the history books from the 20’s & 30’s . Shut. Them. Down!!

Gosh! Quelle surprise. But the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (T&CA) between the UK and the EU makes several key references to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). So her statement in Parl’ yesterday to withdraw from that would affect the T&CA. (& Withdrawal + Good Friday agreements).

Not that far to the Belarus border if they were infiltrated from there. 150k, 2-3 hrs. Google maps show quite an open & watery landscape. Small communities towards Belarus.

I have a gut feeling. Starmer will resign. A leadership election result ➡️Labour’s first woman PM - Angela Raynor. Time line a tad difficult but may surprise us - before Christmas for resignation. Voting Polls then flip considerably as Polls now showing a useless FPTP Parl;’ a PR Parl’ wouldn’t last.

I, with the majority of folk walking the streets of Britain, won’t have any knowledge of the secret world & behind the scenes of Diplomacy. But I do know that leaving the EU was disastrous not just for biz, finance, youth, etc. Attempts now being a willing defence partner with Europe are essential.

+2 on CON is a mystery? A PR Parliament would be interesting. I can’t see a FPTP on %’s working at all. Worse than the Brexit shenanigans during May’s period as PM when withdrawing from the EU. Not sure if any meaningful coalition would work for any period now. Or maybe GRN+LDM+🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿& some N🇮🇪 parties?

Absolutely!

‘Behind Closed Doors.’ On YouTube are these 2x1hr BBC ‘Storyville’ fly on the wall documentaries filmed in Guy Verhofstadt’s offices, & liaising with Michel Barnier’s & team when May was PM, with a pertinent story. A niche viewing but shows now how the UK really ‘burnt its bridges’ with the EU.

BBC News during the Brexit Shenanigans generally didn’t do a balanced view on Remaining. On YouTube are 2x1hr BBC ‘Storyville’ fly on the wall docs’ in Guy Verhofstadt’s offices, when May was PM, with a different story. A niche viewing but shows now how the UK really ‘burnt its bridges’ with the EU.

I’m not surprised at all.

At this rate Lab/Ref/Con will all be able to sit on the very back row of Parl' Oppo' benches, join hands and sing "Things can only get better 🎻. "The Gov Benches will be a GRN/LDM coalition, possibly a tad of Plaid, SNP, NI Alliance SDLP? "Mr/Madam Speaker our 1st Bill is 🇪🇺 SM/CU, our 2nd is PR."

We were on the cusp of ‘things can only get better 🎶’ being within the EU as it was then 🌱🌱🌱into over the next 25yrs. Opportunities for young people to explore & experience Europe thru Erasmus, FoM; better for small & medium biz, end of ‘Iron Curtain.’ Sadly in 2016 a Tory 💣= 1975 again! Torygraph 🚮

I can't imagine her having the opportunity for another 50 days 'having a go' at being a PM. Musk talks about Planet Earth, I haven't a clue what planet she's on? A whole one and a half decades of how to dismantle the Tory party and just in her 50 days a financial meltdown forever on her timeline.
