Brexit is a disaster, the world is literally burning and Britain is descending into a far right mess. However, my cats keep me optimistic.

Read the Epstein Emails Alleging Trump Knew of His Activities
Emails sent by Jeffrey Epstein suggest Donald Trump was aware of the late sex trafficker’s activities. The messages, released Wednesday by House Democrats, also appear to allege that the president spent hours in a house with one of Epstein’s victims.

Trump wants to destroy the BBC and take our money. And Nigel Farage is egging him on.
All true patriots should tell them both: hands off our BBC.

Decent people need to stand up against Farage and Trump to defend the BBC. This is becoming outrageous.

Oh great! The racists are fiscally prudent! 🎉
Nigel Farage’s change of tone is a welcome signal, even if there are still plenty of reasons to worry that a Reform UK government might damage Britain

After spending the day in Bamburgh, I’m even more convinced that the north east is the most underrated region in England.

David Cameron once described UKIP as being full of "fruitcakes", "loonies" and "closet racists"… can’t we accept that this still holds true for Farage’s Reform party?

I do not want to be a pessimist, but this Israel +US deal smells like a stitch up.
Praise and fury for Trump's Gaza peace deal - but Hamas' first reaction is telling

When Benjamin Netanyahu lands back in Israel, he will be hit by a wall of opinions. Some people are full of praise for the deal he has helped to construct, others hate it. Nobody is indifferent.

Very important first step, hopefully Starmer continues to call out Reform’s policies for what they are.

I have completely mixed feelings on this. If it forces Starmer to adopt more progressive positions, it’s a great thing. On the other hand, it may have secured a Reform victory

Starmer is failing. It’s sad that he’s perhaps our only path to avoid a far right populist government.
Britain is stuck in its longest period of economic stagnation since the 1930s. The public finances do not add up. The prime minister has made mistakes—including courting political pain for little gain
Sir Keir Starmer is rapidly losing his authority
As well as his hope of achieving much in office
