The most shocking part of this story was that Dorries was an ex minister
What do you think Miss Jo means when she says that the UK has been driven into the ground? I don’t know about you but I see no evidence of the UK “being driven into the ground” as I go about my daily business. I suspect it’s all in the beholders mind but is detached from reality
Jenrick is next
If that comes to pass there won’t be a home for her to be secretary of. It will be burning because decent ordinary people will never accept a Reform Govt
There seems to be a growing underclass in this country who don’t seem or even want to fit in with a society that is modern Britain This attitude is self perpetuating and is passed down through the generations I’m not sure what the answer is. Education should provide a way out for such people
Looks to me like Rayner did not disclose that she had another property held in trust for her teenage son. If that’s the case she must resign
After yesterdays chest thumping in Beijing Trump would do well to remember who his friends are. The Roman Empire succeeded principally due to the alliances it forged across Europe and elsewhere. When these alliances faltered & with barbarians at the gate Rome fell
Problem is that Putin will not accept boots on the ground of another country ie Ukraine. Either Ukraine is sovereign or it isn’t Putin has fielded soldiers from N Korea, drones from Iran, immeasurable support from China so it’s about time European leaders showed some balls and took fight to him
It's so refreshing to finally hear an English party leader saying the things we've been screaming online for years. Every word he says here is true! 💥💥💥 #GreensUK 🌻
And the cherry on top is the “drain the swamp” voters somehow don’t care 🍒 💰
These thugs should be charged with harassment. Why are they on the streets exactly?
Fico is a traitor and I’m afraid Slovakia along with Hungary should be expelled if they cannot stick to the rules of the club. You either want to be a member of the EU or you don’t. Message to Fico & Orban is stop this traitorous activity and hold a simple in/our Referendum. If you lose resign
On 27th July 2025 Donald Trump gave Putin 10-12 days to reach an agreement over Ukraine. Looks like Putin laughed in the face of the most power man in the world. He’s clearly got Kompromat material on Trump possibly linked to the Epstein files. Hence files not being released
I have long since seen Darren Jones as a potential leader of the Labour Party. How he does in his new role will go a long towards fulfilling that potential
Message to Trump Why did you invite Putin to Alaska? What was the purpose?
I've a feeling Mr Farage might very much be regretting his trip... round about ... Now 👇
Farage is not and never has been interested in free speech. That’s why he regularly bans journalists from his conferences What he is interested is sowing division in order to further his own personal interests. What is it so hard for people to see that?
Perhaps Trump will now realise who his true friends are. That is Europe, Canada, Australia, N Zealand, Japan, S Korea etc so why hammer them all with tariffs?
According to the Office for National Statistics migrants contribute £83bn annually to the UK economy Should that not be the narrative Mr Starmer?
If Reform were to form the next Govt in 2029 what would be their policy towards Ukraine? Would they continue to support if the war prolonged? What would be their policy on Russia/China/Iran? Geopolitics is fundamental to wellbeing of our country but no one seems to be pinning Farage on these issues
I suspect secretly Farage would rather fly the Stars & Stripes than the Union flag or the flag of St George
You assume Cooper is telling the truth. I’m not so sure
Sounds like he’s giving the protesters the green light to do their worst. If they do it’s on him and no one else I wonder if McSweeney looks at Bluesky. If he did he would realise Starmer has lost his “base”
Day Express now a Nazi publication. They seem determined to destroy the UK by sowing resentment, fear & division. In other words doing Hitler’s (and Putin’s) work for him The headline is inflammatory given the current state of affairs The press regulator must step in
It can only be that she is intent on putting her personal ambition first and ahead of the interests of the country
The problem Miss Read is that opinions are now more important than facts. This will end in the fall of the Roman (West) empire and people like you, who should know better, will have enabled it
Putin lies. Shock horror He’s built his Presidency on lies
Tice really is a grotesque individual
Another case of putting personal ambition ahead of national interest. She clearly has no principles so a perfect fit in the current Labour Party
Not “…..absolutely important” But “….absolutely essential for the European project”
🤡🤡🤡
WTF are Labour playing at? Who is telling them to go down this road, Starmer or McSweeney?
This is wrong. It’s Putin dragging his feet again. Zelensky has repeatedly said he would meet Putin to try and find a solution
Fico the traitor should be kicked out of the EU
Well said indeed. I suspect he speaks for most decent compassionate British people. He’s doing Starmer’s job for him
If Fico (or Orban for that matter) don’t want to be in the European Union then hold a referendum. If the outcome is remain then they should resign on principle and call elections
This on the day after it was announced we had just had our hottest summer ever and not just in UK but also Spain & Portugal Tories putting their electoral chances ahead of the safety of the planet. Appalling leadership from Badenoch
It’s never been about NATO. It’s about Putin trying to re-create the Soviet Union. If I know this how come the Americans don’t?
Yep. Never come up over dinner. Not once. Never But then I don’t invite half wits
Thank you for your attention
Musk must be banned from entering the UK until he comes to his senses
Not just this poll but repeated polls on attitudes All the evidence points to the over 65 generation as being basically racist They were also the key drivers of Brexit and are leading the flight to Reform They have stripped the cupboard for 4 decades
I’m not. Party and personal ambition before Country every time. Same as Starmer
Musk should be hit below the waterline with all the legal tools at our disposal. He should also be banned from entering the United Kingdom
Musk now supporting the deportation of anyone who isn’t white. *Do not* use the term “remigration”. It’s an attempt to normalise Nazi hate.
My late father was born in Ireland and his family were economic migrants (came here in the thirties looking for work) I assume therefore that this knob Laws would deport me (even though I was born here) Or maybe he just means people of colour
Looks like they cannot believe their luck that the US has elected a 🤡
BBC currently promoting a montage of clips of its own programmes calling it “This is your BBC” But it’s not. It does not differentiate between fact and opinion. By trying to be even handed and give a voice “to both sides of the argument” they are misleading viewers & listeners about the actual facts
Until i’m BLUE in the face!!! It is not illegal to try and claim asylum in ANY country (not the first safe country) providing you are successful with your claim. 68% of “boat people” ARE successful so are NOT illegal. Are you listening Labour, Sky & BBC? Ignorance of this issue fuels extremism
Labour now the enemy as much as Tories or Reform. Only place left Lib Dem’s (Greens not a serious prospect)
Tony Gallagher was lying at least once
Easy solution then. Admit Ukraine that actually wants to be in the EU and expel Hungary that increasingly doesn’t
Of course one was a lie but I guess timing is everything
It was the blob wot done it
Starmer instead of leading us actually following. Does he not realise? Can’t McSweeney point this out to him?
The right see the working class as fertile ground for sowing the seeds of fascism. The fact that this groups’ educational attainments are below the norm suits them very well. Of course the previous right wing Govt that was in power for 14 years had the means to do something about it but….
Maybe just maybe the UK has world beating racists. I knew we’d be good at something
Printed media as well as Farage are responsible for this. It could very well get out of hand. The nation was divided irrevocably in 2016 and the divide is getting wider
They wouldn’t know that Otto. These people have very limited brain capacity
For what????
Is descend the right word?
Cardboard box? Bloody luxury. When I was a bairn we dreamed of living in a cardboard box
Trump isn’t dead but his illegal tariffs are
If true I trust the Epping Forest Councillors are footing their own legal bill
Careful what you wish for. Look over his shoulder
That’s because Orban does not want to jeopardise his monthly pay cheque from the Kremlin
Bang on the money. Trumps’ increasing authoritarianism will have significantly more impact on the individual Brit than the boat people would ever have. Particularly if he wrestles control of interest rates. This would not end well for the world economy with global depression a distinct possibility 😱
The so called “national crisis” is not caused by the boat people per se but rather the deliberate slowdown in asylum claim assessments caused by the previous Govt. Once speeded up and successful claimants are integrated into Society the problem may well dissipate. No hotels to wave flags at
Unless, of course, Starmer has similar plans. Looks like he’ll do anything to win back those Labour voters who have defected to Reform in their hundreds of thousands Also his recent obsession with this subject allows him to deflect for Labours’ dismal “Growth” progress
Trumpworld and Brexit are intertwined in my view. The sentiment, fed on lies, that caused Brexit also brought Trump to power. Voters did not want to listen to facts & truth because that might have compromised their prejudices
“We want our country back” latest I’m fine actually
Nothing that a jail sentence wouldn’t put right
He’s already lost my vote at the next election along with hundreds of thousands of others I would imagine
It’s fine. He’s going to fix it within 24 hours. Problem is he didn’t say which 24 hours. He said 3 weeks ago “I’ll give Putin 8-10 days” He said in April “I’ll give Putin 50 days” Problem is that Trump is a buffoon and Putin knows it
Heath has always been a half wit. Just have a look at his other predictions 😂😂😂
As the US refuses to impose tougher sanctions despite Trumps numerous hollow threats looks like Ukraine single handedly is trying to destroy the Russian economy. This is the only way to deal with Putin you big orange man baby
You assume Trump will leave at the end of his second term. He won’t
Brexit?
The buffoon doesn’t understand the limitations of his executive power. That is the danger. The institutions responsible for enforcing those limitations (Congress, Senate, Supreme Court) have proven to be feeble The road to fascism now has no road blocks.
Don’t these people realize that people are now walking and driving over the flag 🤡
Witkoff is Trump’s golfing buddy. Fact That’s why he got the job of special envoy to Russia & Gaza. You couldn’t make it up. It’s a clown show
Farage is a feckin MORON
Not Pizza 😡
How about Haitians eating your former neighbour pets?
I suspect Witkoff does the same in the Kremlin. He appears to be awe struck by Putin. I guess that’s what you get when you send your golfing buddy (Trumps) to try and negotiate with the guy responsible for the biggest conflict since the Second World War He’s a pathetic yes man
That’s because understanding requires brains
Could be that the media, particularly printed media, fear a backlash from their readers if they don’t do wall to wall Farage stuff. Don’t know what the profile of the average DM, Sun, Express, Torygraph, and increasingly, the Times is but I can hazard a guess. Also no other stories in August so….
You can not only rejoin the EU Edwin but stop the boats at the same time as we will then have a returns agreement with the French and others. It’s a win win and I’m sure all the meatheads would vote for that
Stop the boats. Rejoin the EU
It makes you want to vomit. What an absolute disgrace the USA has become. What a pathetic bunch of sycophants
Short answer is no
Nigel Farage pretending to be patriotic while pledging to rip up Britain's proud record of leading the world on human rights.
I’m sure it will feature prominently on the BBC tonight
IF he was ever in position to try this stunt I suspect there would be a million on the streets of London in protest
It’s not about where ffs. It is immoral, grotesque, not British, won’t work and probably illegal. Do Labour need a new spokesperson. I’m happy to stand in
Good article. Seems to me that these so called leaders have put their own career ambitions ahead of the people they are supposed to represent. Instead of showing some backbone they have just rolled over. I suspect most Europeans detest Trump and would have been willing to stand up to him. Too late
Do your homework BBC. This is a bonkers scheme with zero chance of success. Everybody knows this so call it out now
If he carries on there may well be a threat to public order but not the one he imagines. There will be plenty of people willing to take to the streets in protest against this grotesque individual: let’s not forget in his youth he was a member of the National Front. Nuff’ said
Appalling judgement by the BBC in particular. It is supposed to be the national broadcaster for all the people. I trust the Lib Dem’s in particular will be given an hour and a half for their counter arguments. After all the BBC’s byword these days is BALANCE!
