From the magnificent North. I champion bottom-up history, I urge young people to think more critically and have realistic aspirations. No time for liars & bulllshitters. Much time for roast lamb & mint sauce, malts, fine wines & real ales.
No, of course it's all a political conspiracy between his teachers and over 20 ex-school colleagues. Future PM material? We all wrote off Trump about 10 years ago..........

And we're still waiting for the publication of the investigation by our Security Services into Russian financial support for those wishing to destabilise the UK during the Brexit campaign. Was it Johnson who buried that 'Russia Report'? And why?

Most energy companies are howling about the extra costs they must incur investing in renewable options yet fail to mention to our wonderful media (who never ask them) why their shareholders continue to receive, on average £600 from EVERY paying customer EVERY year.

Oh, bang on Steve! There is still a huge investigation outstanding to prove and publicly recognise the £millions of Russian currency pouring in to destabilise the UK, before and since the Brexit campaign. MI5 produced the Russia Report but this seems to have been buried. Let's demand it gets dug up.

Totally agree. All of Cummings's kudos seemed to defy any logical basis for talent or fame because of his Brexit slogan, 'Take back control'. Next minute he's in No.10 influencing the highest powers on a killer pandemic. We have to blame Johnson again. Clueless!

Sadly I have personally witnessed third generation Asian Brits cop for some terrible racist bile from younger adults on two occasions who seem emboldened by Farage's agenda. It's vile.

"Radical change". Sounds grand but what is it and is it a single issue we can all support? Freedom for Tooting!!

It would not surprise me if Trump put up the bail and sent a car to collect this animal from the police custody. Trump proves repeatedly he is nothing but a C U Next Tuesday and I still cannot fathom why so many voted for this fraudster, rapist and bullshitting shyster back in office.

Indeed. But we aren't taxing those who can afford to pay more. The NHS is permanently skint and barely surviving without targeted private funding, yet I've still never paid for healthcare in my life. It's survival and my free health is my only principle.

Healthcare before principles. Country before party.

I agree. but I'm not convinced he's currently plotting. Streeting has definitely been recognised as future leadership material. He has eloquence, humour, determination and humility in spades.

Possibly another step for those with vested interests to gather strength and wealth whilst public service broadcasting continues to be crushed. 'Strength through joy?'......

Every word Lewis. All main points are covered and extremely thorough. The only other issue I could add is the progress of genuine uneasiness and fear amongst us about how we can stop this hateful, divisiveness marching on slowly but surely in our communities. Fascism really is here.

Thanks Tom. Since the dawn of time, or at least since the days of the late 18th Century radicals circa 1815 onwards and Chartists around 1845 the Left have never had a decent piss-up in any known brewery! 'tis the way of things 🤨😆😳

Many believe BBC News has never been so right wing in recent decades, yet here they are being lectured to by a convicted rapist, fraudster and populist, fascist nutcase about an edited clip of him encouraging insurrection. (Which he did). There's something very sinister happening. It's upside down.
