I see that Soccer Aid is raising money for the humanitarian crisis in Sudan - something that the media and, in particular BBC TV news, are ignoring. It’s very strange. Clearly thousands of dying children isn’t a story anymore.

Which of these stories is the most important - Arsenal failing to win a major trophy or a ground-breaking cancer treatment that means thousands of patients will not have to endure chemotherapy? Answers to the BBC.

When you think of the rise in fuel prices due to the Iran war, it’s no wonder that Britain’s economy looks brighter - just look at the tax windfall for the government. It’s nothing to do with good economic policies.

The King’s speech was written by hand on goatskin. The ink took several days to dry. Even in 2026 we have medieval practices and a curious penchant for wasting time and money.

If you analyse all of Sir Kier Starmer’s decisions they include giving an American spy tech company access to all our NHS data and taking old ladies to court for protesting about the killing of innocent Palestinians. There are other policies, like destroying nature.

I wonder when the BBC tv news will feature the worst humanitarian crisis in the world? They’ve sort of mentioned it a couple of times. Anyone would think it wasn’t newsworthy. I repeat - Sudan has the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. Why is it not news?

So Morgan McSweeney took the blame for the Mandelson affair. Well, not exactly. The fact remains that the story, with all its tendrils and dates, still doesn’t add up. Labour MPs backed their boss because he was their boss and local elections are looming. Not Starmer’s best hour.

The BBC’s reluctance to give us news of the current biggest humanitarian disaster in the world is curious, to say the least. Why don’t they tell us about Sudan? It’s a huge story. They didn’t tell us about Biafra until it was reported in a newspaper. Journalism at its worst.

What is rotten about politics - when ministers back up their boss, the Prime Minister, because they’ve been told to and not because they believe a word of what they’re saying. Labour’s lot are no different from Trump’s hangers-on.

Just watched the BBC tv news then read what several different internet sites had to say. Wow? Either journalists on the BBC are asleep or their editors are unaware of what is actually happening in the world.

Apparently, most Americans believe Trump went to war to divert attention from the Epstein files. I don’t think he is that clever. He had no idea why he went to war. He has a scrambled brain. He doesn’t know what day it is.

BBC TV news seems to think the conflicts in Ukraine and Sudan no longer matter. Only Iran is important. What kind of news service is this? Who makes such incredulous decisions? No wonder social media is in such big demand.

Why would anyone willingly go for a meal with Donald Trump? He is, after all, an incoherent, war-mongering madman. The answer is Nigel Farage.

While thousands die in wars across the globe the big question facing Loose Women today was….’which is the best side of the bed to sleep on’. This is the kind of debate that has elevated the UK to the status of irrelevant.

Did I hear this right - GPs have been given a £3000 bonus to prescribe weight loss drugs? Don’t they already prescribe them? Do they need the money? What else should we bribe them with? Am I living through a crazy dream?

Someone at the BBC has decided they should ignore the happenings in Sudan - the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. Who is this someone? And should he or she be fired? Or is it the government? What the hell are they thinking?

We’re told that the relevant authorities made many mistakes in the case of tragic youngster Sara Sharif. Really? They’ve been making the same mistakes for a long time. Their incompetence is commonplace and will continue. There is no-one out there stopping it.

I see that Peter Theil, the multi-multi-billionaire behind PayPal is telling anyone who will listen that the antichrist is on his way, though he’s not sure who it is. Since he is Trump’s chief pal he really shouldn’t have to look far.

It’s becoming clear that you can’t have Reform AND the NHS. Repost if you DON’T want our NHS to be undermined, then dismantled. Like if you DO believe Farage is determined to give American healthcare insurance companies a significant slice of our NHS.
