That's the first tme I've seen The Times and The Telegraph described as "dinlos" "Trump backs Starmer’s Chagos deal"........The Telegraph "Donald Trump backs Keir Starmer’s deal on Chagos Islands" .....The Times

Rejoining would not return us to where we were. No more of Thatcher's rebates, new members must adopt the Euro, etc. Leaving was a colossal mistake, but we cannot undo it.

But where was the black Jewish woman who actually wrote the play ?

,"On Thursday, Donald Trump signalled his approval for the move, describing Sir Keir Starmer's agreement as the "best he could make"." ,"White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters: "He spoke with Prime Minister Starmer directly, he understands Prime Minister Starmer's position - and he supports it.""

"Hasn't your dad got anything he fetched back from the war ?" "He has an old uniform jacket in a suitcase in the attic, it's next to the tank". "YOU'VE GOT A TANK ?"

What about consistently accusing others of enabling/condoning child abuse, as does the poster to whom your post was a reply ?

I can still remember the Medical Virology lecture where the lecturer said "Forget measles and polio, let's consider the application of Marxist ideology in the pathology lab". The political influence of a higher education institute may affect an individual for perhaps 2 elections post graduation, but surely after that their voting preference is going to be more influenced by the "offer" in manifestos and lived experience.

Given the loonies are defecting from the Conservatives to Reform, what odds on a centrist coalition of "moderate" Labour and Tories with the LDs purely to keep Reform out ?
