@Anna_Soubry @DavidGauke Wonder how long it will be before Rees-Mogg pins his fading flag on the Reform mast....

In danger ? I think the Conservatives have passed that point. Wait for the MP defections.
#Brexit broke Britain and the Conservative Party
Unless people of @DavidGauke ‘s ability are back in charge the party is over.

@johnsweeneyroar @realDonaldTrump Yep, but given that their own MP has yet to visit there, not sure there would be anyone to greet him - also pleased to say no likelihood of them emerging as a world capital

Doubt if Trump will be coming soon for a Buckingham Palace Banquet as too afraid of massive protests bound to greet him - apart from Moscow, Minsk or Pyongyang are there any world capitals where he could venture with no such risk? Even Tel Aviv, Rome or Budapest wouldn't work...

@AgnesCPoirier Trump is ready to betray not just Ukraine but the rest of the West...he is obsessed with totalitarian rulers because of his own inadequacies.. a curse on him and Vance

How absolutely odious to see JD Vance and Trump attacking Zelensky.

Why should the UK pay for the retention of Diego Garcia anyway? It is a US base, not a UK one . theguardian.com/politics/live/…

@chrismullinexmp Agree - it even had Palestinians cursing Hamas for the October attack.. what was factually inaccurate?

This was an outstanding documentary. Why should the fact that the boy was the son of the deputy minister of agriculture be a problem? About time the BBC stopped caving into the Zionist lobby.

@AChilkoti A superb series..thought it was quite telling how incompetent Modi is when dealing with tough but fair questioning - reminiscent of his top-blowing in the BBC TV series on the 2002 riots...

My book of 2025, the foreign adventures of the great travel writer Norman Lewis, superbly edited & collected by the founder of Eland Books, John Hatt, who has done more than anyone to resurrect Lewis from the dusty unread. Eland is still incapable of publishing a dud book.
