Come on FP, you’re better than joining the straw man argument brigade. You’re smart enough to understand that green investment including a massive upgrade of the grid isn’t going to happen overnight and until then we’re tied into energy prices dependant on the cost of fossil fuels. It’s going to...

For sure. Not as much as Trump though.

Farmers big time. Morons who didn’t realise Medicare and Obamacare are the same thing and are now complaining that they don’t have medical cover after cheerleading the dismantling of Obamacare, the MAGA stronghold who booed Republican senator Rich McCormick at a town hall meeting over federal...

We need a reality check on our nuclear arsenal. It’s too big. I read an article years back on it that suggested that we could cut it by more than half simply by the fact that we do have allies with an arsenal too. It’s dick waving vanity to maintain its current size. One of the most startling...

It was reported this week that Russia is having to use donkeys (actual donkeys) to deliver supplies to the front line as they don’t have the vehicles available to do it.

We gave them 14, we have about 150 left and in part thanks to the 14 we gave to Ukraine A) we know our tanks are way way superior to Russian tanks even before the upgrade program is completed (we gave them challenger 2, we’re upgrading our entire fleet to challenger 3 spec) and B) The UK to...

One small problem with that theory and it is a theory. The investigations into Trump started when Trump was in office.

Best advice anyone can take on buying a used car (or a new one for that matter) is if the engine is fitted with a wet belt give it a miss. There’s no such thing as a good wet belt engine but ford based and PSA based engines are especially bad even with a decent service history. They were a bad...

Given you’re the guy that’s directly quoting Putins 2014 address to the nation when the ruble tanked when oil prices collapsed as Russia had Dutch disease to feed himself and his oligarchs billions your response to basic facts doesn’t surprise me. You just can’t bring yourself to lay any blame...

How far away are we from Donald declaring war on Ukraine. I’d say he’s lost the plot but the reality is he’s never had it.

Russia is top 5 in billionaires and top 4 in billionaires per capita in the world. The only people that left the Russian people in abject misery and hardship was Putin and his oligarchs by stealing and hoarding the nation’s wealth.

What are you basing that on exactly? Other than your favourite Putins essay that’s about as accurate as the dressed up dossier on weapons of mass destruction. It’s hardly like there’s freedom of speech in Russia to say otherwise is there. Even then polling had nostalgia for the USSR days lower...

Well okay, after Nagasaki then. By way of comparison the MOAB has about half the blast yield of big boy and wasn’t used under Obama for fear it would be too indiscriminate due to its power and the risk to innocent people was too large. Trump had no such concerns

Didn’t Trump famously drop more bombs in his first 6 months than Obama did in his 2 terms? In all the same countries bombed under Obama. Including the largest bomb to be dropped in a military operation since Hiroshima by any country, nicknamed the Mother of all Bombs.

The myth, Russia has the second best military in the world. The reality, Russia has the second best militarily in Ukraine.

A third time? Doesn’t sound very balanced to me.

Unlikely but then I also doubt that a home office twitter feed is the only possible way a would be migrant gets their news either. Fact is that the smugglers have been able to use the Tories inefficiencies as a sales tool. At least Starmer seems to be addressing that by doing the basic of...

There’s plenty to be upset with Starmer about without inventing bogeymen. Starmer acted swiftly and to the limit of his remit. What else did you expect him to do exactly without turning into a despot dictator Say what you like about Starmer but he’s dealt with antisemitism in his party swiftly...

I’m saying Starmer has used the influence he has to its fullest. It’s down to his constituents if they want a new MP which is how it should be. From what I’ve read there’s no suggestion of a criminal conviction simply because no crime was committed. Seems to me you’re using it as an excuse to...
