Had enough of X and the person I'd become on there. Hoping to be calmer and less sweary on here. Newport County, Wales, politics, health, sport, music. Willing to pontificate on anything. More intolerant as I age. Ex-Nurse.

It's what Farage is saying - word for word. I wonder why that is?

I think the BBC should countersue Trump for libel. They have a stronger case than him and it would be the correct course of action to take against a playground bully...

And now is the ideal time. If the DG and Head of News have resigned then surely he should be 'invited' to do the same. And if he doesn't then should be sacked...

The secret services would have one. Or foreign governments. Either may want to bring Trump down, or expose all the paedophiles in the echelons of power worldwide...

I think a response that should Trump proceed with his threat that the BBC would aggressively defend themselves, by going on the attack if necessary, seems a good starting point. I'm sure a non-redacted copy of the Epstein files could be easy to obtain and the truth laid bare for all to see...

The response should be two-fold. The BBC should tell Trump to bring it on and the Labour Govt should block Comcast taking over ITV.
Neither will happen...

The crux of the problem is that there are too many posh twats in position of control in society. We are still wedded to public schoolboys knowing better than the plebeians...

I was thinking more of Senedd members and MSP's rather than English councillors. The Caerphilly by-election wasn't an aberration, there is a shift in voters away from Labour which 'Welsh' Labour may notice but Starrmer's advisors are blind to

You don't have to wait that long. There will be many Labour politicians out of jobs next year with elections in Scotland, Wales and NI...

I think it should be the start of a purge at the top of the organisation. But I gave little confidence that any new appointments will be any better (or any greater impartiality) than those that have gone/will go. There are too many right-wing voices pushing right-wing ideology...

I agree with you. I did wonder whether an early election was possible, so it's good to learn it could be. But if the duopoly conspired to do it, then I think voters would punish them, because under FPTP it's easier to vote tactically than under a form of PR.

I guess he was arguing for 6.6% extra corporation tax. Even if we settled at 30% then that would generate more revenue that Reeves is likely to get from increasing income tax and introducing measures to counteract the effects for the poorest. Plus the corporations are profiteering...
