Politics is a funny old business. Here’s the Daily Mail condemning a party for being racist in support of its preferred racist party.

A depressing milestone: the First World War lasted 1568 days, but today (11 June) Putin’s invasion of Ukraine enters its 1569th day, with no sign of coming to an end. Donald Trump thought it would be so easy to stop, he could do it on his first day as US President.

She fled her home.
She saved her nurse’s uniform.
Not her jewellery. Not possessions. Her uniform because she wanted to keep caring for people.
That tells you everything about her.
This is the Britain I believe in: one that values compassion, courage and those who contribute to our communities.

This is possibly the saddest thing I've seen in a long time..an immigrant nurse talking about fleeing her home..she saved her UNIFORM. So she could still WORK for our communities.
I'd fill this country with a thousand of this woman than one of those good for nothing thugs.
God help this poor woman.

Yr 12 Politics Useful example for sectional interest groups & traditional Labour support... will #Farage be able to attract organised but discontented labour support or will it be a step too far?

Reform is now the party of workers.
Today I am inviting trade unions to apply for affiliation with Reform UK.
We also welcome union leaders to attend our national conference in September and engage in discussions about the policies of a future Reform government.

'Thank you Darling'?? The ability of a free press to question power and hold it to account is the keystone of a functioning Democracy, this interview is beyond the pale

WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged
"You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her."
"I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads.

If you want proof that crime has soared under Labour then consider this startling fact.
In the 2 years that Starmer has been PM there have been more mobile phone thefts than during the 12 years that Thatcher was PM.
Shocking.
