I have simply never been happier to see the back of an individual politician.

My belief is that No. 10 is right. These nutters have obviously got links to the Telegraph and the Mail, but they honestly believe they’re the voice of the people, rather than the voice of a small group of people who all exist in a tightly controlled echo chamber. Britain is far from...

It’s a rare thing to be praising the Met for balanced, honest policing, but I feel that on the whole they played a blinder yesterday. A lot of unnecessary additional pressure placed on the Met by a Home Secretary who to my mind has knowingly and deliberately incited hatred, and I do wish that...

I don’t know, that feels a bit flippant to me. I’m fully behind remembering our own veterans and those who never returned from past conflicts, but I can also understand that if my kids/aunt/mother had just been buried in rubble from a strike on a hospital, that ‘my’ cause of a war that was...

That’s the pessimistic view. I’m actually hoping that this outs the fact that the Daily Mail is a lying, shit-stirring rag that openly gaslights its readership. As others have repeatedly stated: 1. The march is on Saturday, not Sunday. 2. Its route takes it nowhere near the Cenotaph...

The woke bastards.

This is how we degenerate from a nation that believes in the rule of law to a nation that just does whatever the government of the day tells us. It’s the nastiest form of government I’ve seen in my lifetime and I want them so far from power they can’t be seen from space.

I think that may have been @golddene - important not to confuse the two!

Yup, a growth industry definitely. You wouldn’t get that under Labour.

I’ve done the same. I’m obviously glad that Goldstone has clearly had a life free from trauma, and never been in a situation where they’ve had to seriously think about abuse and its long term effects, the world needs happiness. However to thoughtlessly assume that their formative experiences...

Clem, What’s happening in LA and Portland and the US generally is what happens when as a government you permit wealth inequality to go totally unchecked, and fail to enact and pay for social provision. This is not an issue where anyone should be wringing their hands and crying “it’s hopeless...

I get that you feel that a lot of these politics threads tend to be “variations on a theme” - but (assuming you’ve read the article the OP has linked to) is this not pretty breathtaking? A serving Home Secretary of the United Kingdom has announced her intention to try and prevent/restrict the...

There’s just so much to bash in this particular government’s case. We may need a bigger hammer.
