    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    My original comments on the matter were dismissed as (whatever). It’s not a good look.

    It’ll be like throwing a hotdog down a corridor. Fix the leaky bucket rather than turn the tap up.

    Makes me laugh how the last administration were in talks with Qatar about a jet - Trump accepts the gift - Dems go after Trump. Swings. Roundabouts.

    Austerity against big pharma is a different thing. Big pharmaceutical. Big banking. Insurance scams. Expose the lot

    Raising taxes can have a negative effect on the actual revenue to treasury. I’ll give a couple of examples: The reason some corporates (Google Amazon EBay) etc. “flag out” in Eire / Lichtenstein / wherever is that they can supply into a market (the EU or UK) and pay 10% or whatever rather than...

    On a human level, that’s awful and no one should be anything but compassionate towards anyone diagnosed with cancer. Given his position and the level of testing available to him, It’s surprising that it’s not been picked up far earlier.

    And that’s one of the main points I’ve been making: As the birth rate has fallen, the balance between working age people contributing to the system and people needing to take more than they contribute from the system has skewed. Rather than the Government be honest with citizens and say...

    Braverman will give it one more go at a leadership bid before jumping. Her husband is a Reform member; it’s not a huge leap of presumption as to where she’d go. As for “the left” and Corbyn, he’s a symbol of the real divide of modern politics: Israel or Palestine

    Yes, Kemi isn’t cutting through. The next by-election (Ipswich?) will be telling if a Tory seat flips to Reform. There’s talk of wheeling out Boris, but again, I think that that’d be an incorrect read of the room. In 2019 Farage wasn’t in Westminster and now he is. At some point there may be...

    Just watching the end of this. It’s like watching us at the end of the Robins era. Losing, but zero urgency. Pass back - pass back - pass side.

    It’s a strange one. Is he hinting that it’s a warning from Ukraine? That Ukrainians are dangerous? Or that Putin has sent a patsy to make Ukraine look bad? Anyway, it’s just as likely he’s a nutter acting on his own. Isn’t it interesting, anyone with right of centre views is accused of...

    I can see him playing somewhere random like Cyprus or India where there’ll be fans and it’s not so demanding.. Can’t see him putting a shift in for, say, the Brakes in front of 200 people.

    That’s a sad answer. I’m making no claim. Where am I making a claim? The poster claimed RFK was a conspiracy theorist. Anyone with an ounce of integrity knows that the burden of proof is on the accuser. Classic deflection tactics employed there. Shame.
