Political turmoil increases
Farage continues to get away with financial murder+no credible policies
USA continues to be ruled by deranged despot
HOWEVER
We celebrate David Attenborough his wisdom,his philosophy+his education of us all a genuine STARx100
I get voter dissatisfaction with a ruling party and their transference vote
I am at a loss at the rise of REFORM who have few ideas on real issues;has a clutch of MPs whose records are dubious
Above all what is this Farage hero worship of Trump: the real threat to world peace
We believe in Parliamentary democracy and
in the House of Lords tho they need radical trimming
However I am furious at the HofL torpedoing the Assisted Dying bill with their 1200 amendments:total abuse
Linda+I have been in Dignitas for 20yrs
We have a right to end on our terms
Nice to report good news in a world of such turmoil
Rory wins the Masters
Wout Van Art wins Paris Roubaix
Orban loses in Hungary
England Women continue to win
Overall Women’s Rugby continues to improve
There may be more world issues but you need issues like this for balance
In 60+ yrs of political watching I do not recall such turmoil +potential disaster caused by the unhinged Trump reign
Coalitions only work in wartime but working together by the major parties on the looming financial disasters should be obligatory
As ever the poor suffer most
Why,during the debate on fuel in the context of the US lunacy,do the BBC turn to Robert Jenrick,as the first spokesperson
He attacked REFORM when it suited him,failed to get his party leadership but then joined the ragbag of failed Tories
Balance?
Bollocks
As a Labour supporter I have reservations about some of Starmer’s decisions but his stance on the current Middle East is right
The quixotic actions of an irrational Trump with no plan are already costing American lives+others
We cannot subscribe to the potential of a global war
It is obv crucial for Gorton MCR to confirm an MP
The choice is for the voters but equally crucial is for REFORM to be denied
Led by a man who supports Trump,is paid £94k as an MP but is rarely seen+leads a ragbag of failed Tories+others
They are a danger to,our democracy
Well done IOM
Well done Jersey
Two countries of civilised stable people provide the stable system of assisted death to those who qualify
The tardiness of the Royal Assent is a further delaying tactic
The long held public wish for this is again being deployed by the minority
As a long time politics watcher +a male it is obvious that not only do we need more women in politics but increasingly in powerful positions
Cp Jess Philips and others
It is highly likely that more women in the team who advise leaders would stem the appt of Madelson +hjs ilk
I don’t agree with all Starmer’s decisions but the boringly tired right wing Mailesqe reactions to everything he does is pathetic
Dealing with China is essential forward planning for the country given the chaotic dangerous mess which Trump+Trumpism threatens us + our economy
As an example of irrelevant posturing in a time to of so much discord+nihilism whether it be Gaza,endless wars across the globe or Trump in all his narcissism +attendant actions the Jenrick/REFORM pantomime is past laughable
He power obsession helps no one + degrades politics
My politics have always been of the Left but as I move through my 80s I begin to despair at a world where there is so much discord+the lack+of leadership when then goal should be the sheer survival of our species
Political rivalry should be irrelevant but it won’t be
How emetic
Nadhim Zadhawi,ex govt minister (25mins for Education?)
Millionaire
Obviously bored with Tory remnants
Defects to Reform
Obv amnesiac on Farage
When asked about that goes pink but Farage waives away the question
And this lot want to rule us?
We are indeed in trouble
Linda+I have been members of Dignitas since it’s founding
Assisted dying obv needs safeguards+the new bill has more than any other
It should be a matter of personal choice+ I take great exception to the new Archbishop abusing her position
She has personal choice
So should we
On a cold dark morning; sorting a house just moved into; Looking at the fragmented home politics;the unspeakable Trump+his sycophants;can’t find my tablets or much else et al……
BUT
Kevin Sinfield is off again
What an inspiration and a supreme example of selfless efforts
