I look forward to certain members declaring a pecuniary interest.

I was once a delegate at an NUS special conference. This could have been written about that conference. We could hear the shouting all the way back to our minibus.

I wouldn’t like to guess whether it’s the oil Trump (and those feeding him ideas) is interested in or the wealth/power that comes with controlling supply. Then again, Trump’s understanding seems fixed in the past so maybe he does want the oil.

100%. Venezuela and Nigeria. Both threatened by Trump on a flimsy pretext. Both rich in oil.

I voted for them in 2019 as the lesser of two evils (and I live in a Lab/Con marginal). I felt we’re going to get a terrible PM whichever of the two main parties won.

£90bn a year or £1.7bn a week. It’s in the article you’ve linked.

I would like to see the government START blaming Brexit. Until the government tells the truth about the harm caused by Brexit, and commits to a process of reversing it, they’re just tinkering around the edges of our economy.

I think you just have to hope you can trace your ancestry back further than Trump.

Wasn’t it Brownshirts in Germany? Moseley’s British Union of Fascists had black shirts (as did Italian fascists) so black shirts have a strong association with fascism here.

21 months! What are the odds on the party still being around in 21 months?

I’m convinced this (from an old poster advertising a Kent theatre’s run of Wind in the Willows) is modelled on Farage

If this sets a precedent, we’re owed a lot of apologies for the BBC’s uncritical platforming of the tax payers’ alliance.

Remember partygate didn’t finish Johnson but, much like Watergate and Nixon, his attempts to cover it up did.

Anyone arguing this won’t bring down Farage is probably right, to a point. It will cause some people, who are thinking of voting Reform, to have second thoughts. And it will add to the weight of evidence that will, eventually, defeat Farage.

What it will do though is give those who are not supporters but thinking of voting Reform paise for thought. As my dad put it “Farage says things that, at face value, sound sensible. Then you think a bit more about it and realise he’s a ****.”

Seriously, if you think everything Trump does is a distraction from Epstein, you’re getting exactly what you deserve. Epstein is likely to have the same effect as Mueller; none. Meanwhile your democracy is being dismantled by the ‘brains’, behind Trump. Epstein IS the distraction.
