I don't disagree at all - its time for him to go willingly or unwillingly. I just don't know how much support he still has within the party - and a public split and internal fratricide would be equally damaging. A smooth and agreed transition in the next week should be the goal if at all possible

Ha yep, my favourite bits too. She sets the trap, they blunder in and are too unaware to realise how it looks to the sway voters they need.

Did you see her with Keri Lake, former TV host turned nutter?

They've been saying quietly behind the scenes it was time to quit and he's refused. He could have gone with dignity. Hope this doesnt get messy, would be terrible for everyone apart from Trump.

Apparently he did actually retweet this. Obvs without knowing who they were but funny anyhow.

I caught a little of that. Seems like she was saying you shouldn't be mean to Hitler because other people were just as bad and he gets a bad rap because he lost - but then immediately defends 'the Bolsheviks' despite Stalin being one of the few people who killed as many or more than Hitler. When you say 'she's a bit mad isn't she' that was part I couldnt get - how could she spout such BS whilst being obviously intelligent. Bizarre as it may seem I hadnt considered that option. Maybe its because its too profoundly depressing to conceive of someone influencing millions of people to believe dictatorships and mass murder is okay because other people do it too - just for a bit of money and fame. That also explains people like Alex Jones and all the craziness about Sandy Hook. Maybe she plans to get millions to believe the crackpot theories and then she is going to do a big reveal claiming it was all a hoax and people should think for themselves and not follow influencers, but I woudn't hold my breath.

It's a deliberate tactic, one which they have used in previous conflicts like Syria. They do it to break the spirit of the opposition - the idea is to get them to think "if they will bomb a children's cancer hospital they are utterly ruthless and will destroy everything, we should give up". Granted you have to be an absolute cunt to to do that.

MAGA darling. I think she might be the brilliant Anti Christ sucking us all into a cult and nuclear war. Or a dumb ass fuck. Not quite sure at the moment For those that don't know she is a young, black, attractive, hot woman who speaks and communicates exceptionally well. Her style doesnt put up any weirdo red flags, you can easily believe in her. A bit like Jordan Petersen but more compelling. Half of what she says you can nod along with, but the other is bat shit crazy, and yet you still give it more time and analysis than if she were an regular conspiro weirdo guy.

Things is, even Chamberlain who was widely derided as weak and appeasing raised defence expenditure to 9% in 1938 and ordered thousands of hurricanes and spitfires and other military material. I dont see us doing even a tiny fraction of that.

Russia are claiming it was debris from a Ukrainian air defence missile but there is clear video online showing the arrival of a cruise missile. https://packaged-media.redd.it/4luuztaxlabd1/pb/m2-res_1080p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&v=1&e=1720461600&s=42791a574de9bfc42a6afea972399bc20c08e550#t=0

Particularly the immediacy, three days after an election. They don't even have the fig leaf of pretending its because Labour have been terrible. What this story effectively says is look how comprehensively the Tories have trashed the UK.

Daily Mail thinks economic migration is great and EU countries are better run nicer places to live.....

Looks to me like they are going for Housing, EU relationship and security (Ukraine and borders) - which is smart because you can fix those without spending huge amounts of money. Problem with the NHS and things like poverty is that even if you twiddle with NHS structure its still going to need huge dollops of more cash because the fundamentals are people are living longer but with chronic diseases.

and Khameni

He just lanced the boil. Both Tories and Labour had been divided by argument over Europe for decades, since the last days of Thatcher. Trying to settle the issue once and for all was sound strategy when it looked as if Remain would win comfortably. No one really anticipated leave winning, including Farage. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

It's a trade off though - loss of privacy v reduction in crime. We will never deal effectively with issues like illegal immigration, visa overstays and gang crime etc without mandatory use of ID cards for things like renting a house, accessing healthcare, getting credit, driving licence etc Most of the EU have relatively porous borders but its very difficult to live there without documentation because you cant do anything. The UK fortress island approach doesnt work anymore in the 21st century.

His family seem to be the block

Agree with that. He's perfectly normal for an 81 year old man - slower, less reliable memory, usually people have difficulty processing complex tasks. He's going to get a lot worse quickly over four years. There is some speculation he has Parkinson's not dementia. He's streets ahead of Trump but that isnt enough. We all need the US to have a President like Obama, Clinton, George H Bush, even Reagan in his first term.

Next best thing. Just for you Lord DH

Am I the only one who thinks Cameron would be the best of the bunch they have? I know he's not an MP but I reckon one or two current MPs were disappointed not to get voted out. IDS particularly so a seat could be made available.

Ive got an LD despite Tories having over nearly 60% of the vote for most of the past 50 years. Local school teacher not the parachuted in random Tory from central list. Plus la change!
