Garbage whatever Hodges is on, he needs to seek medical advice if this is a bona fide posting from him
1) I did say Hodges was a fan.
2) Is this true? I wonder if there are any journalist over here that would support this statement.
(I haven't seen it so far)

What charity is this then? Lovely people the Rothermeres. Always thinking of the poor
So the Daily Mail owner's wife has just given £50,000 to Nigel Farage's Reform UK

If you're a politician and don't support rapists or pedophiles, prove it.

The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

Five hours?? I expect the peace plan took 15 minutes and the rest was about what Trump and his family were going to get as their cut
As expected the negotiations failed. However, as this goes on, it is also important to understand why we feared Soviet balkanization in 1991 and why Biden feared it as well.

Negotiations and Trump
So we are reaching the end of another effort by the Trump administration to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

Thank you Mr President for giving the US snow at Christmas time and letting us stay in lovely airports just like Bruce Willis
With a major snowstorm bearing down on the Northeast, two major airlines have issued travel waivers for passengers scheduled to fly to or from airports.

Labour government “Red lines” and “Manifesto “ commitments have not stood the test of time, and contact with reality. What does strengthening ties with EU mean ? There doesn’t appear to be a trading category that has one foot in and one foot out

So people are pissed off cause they THINK reeves lied about the economy.
The economy is better than expected and the problem is they think she understated it.
Let’s look at Tories. Economy tanked,very little growth since Brexit and they continued to ACTUALLY lie it was good.
See the difference.

The Trump administration's strikes in Venezuela were ordered without Congress, without transparency, and without any justification to the public. These actions are reckless, unconstitutional, and dangerous for our national security.

Brexit was exactly that. A petulant door-slamming. A rejection of cooperation, protection and opportunity for all of us because the wealthy rightwing elites didn’t want to play by shared rules. And knew they could exploit ignorance/prejudice to achieve that.

One of my abiding impressions of Brexit is the way it slammed doors of opportunity in the faces of young people several rungs below Boris Johnson’s countless children on the ladders of privilege & advantage.
"Negotiators are aiming to finalise a deal by January that would allow the UK to participate in Erasmus from 2027 onwards, according to two UK and EU officials."

All of us: Why, in our judgement, Chris Mason is misleading on most political points, all the time.
Because he’s incapable of political commentary that isn’t marinated in his own rightwing bias. Allegations for Labour. Free passes for Tories/Reform. Every Single Time.

The Chancellor chose not to share some information on tax receipts in an unusual press conference, given before the Budget.
