And now? Onwards and upwards?
A petition to launch an inquiry into “Russian influence on UK politics & democracy” has hit 100k signatures!
This could prove to be particularly awkward for Farage and Reform given the proof of Russian interference and recent conviction of their former head of Wales:

'Shameless' Farage pockets £140k from fan videos as constituents 'furious'
A Mirror probe shows the Reform MP has made £140,000 from the Cameo messaging platform - but spoken in Parliament 22 times and mentioning his Clacton constituents on just three occassions

What we're seeing is exactly what we saw in the late 1940s, the late 1960s and the mid- to late 1970s: a concerted and hysterical campaign to delegitimise a Labour government, and indeed the very idea of Labour governments at all.

Because of course the guy who was sentenced to seven years in federal prison for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft got a Presidential pardon...and a job at the DOJ.

Totally agree!
Can I just point out that, had the Chancellor of Exchequer left her budget alone, the media would have questioned her credibility for leaving a mere four billion of headroom, and probably would have asked her why she is being so reckless with the economy.

Amazing how people will sell out their country to Russia, a mafia state that kills journalists, activists. No, the UK and US are far from perfect and have a lot to atone for, but Russia is openly trying to bring back the cult of Stalin, including the Iron Curtain. www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2...

It's a very top heavy "middle"!

A lot of us regret it, believe me.
On every public policy committee I sat on - gambling, drugs, animal experiments, law of homicide and others - someone would ask ‘But what would the Daily Mail say about our recommendations?’ I now regret that we never gave the right answer. ‘We shouldn’t care.’

So shortsighted! We are part of Europe and need to be at the table.
Stupid shortsighted decision by Starmer. Not unusual.
Can’t decide who this is worse for, the EU or the UK. But the real looser, of course, is European defence. So all of us.

Thanks kid - I'll remember that next time I procreate!

In the meantime, why don't you go get yourself an education - at mummy and daddy's expense of course!

Some long trousers might follow!

I think the fact that he made Evgeny Lebedev a peer says it all. Johnsons commitment to Ukraine was merely a tool to be used during a time of negativity for him, Zelenskyy proved a useful photo-op to make Johnson look better.

Thanks to Paul Caruana Galizia we now know that Boris Johnson rushed to this party in Umbria after the Skripal attack and the NATO meeting without his security detail to talk to former KGB agent Lebedev Snr was offering him a backchannel to Putin’s foreign minister Lavrov youtu.be/QkZzN3XHEPY?...

Got to wonder what the competition rules were for the winner to make snowmen in Reform UK colours.

And of course every kid thinks of putting the English / Union flag when drawing pictures of Santa.

The Trump administration is not Europe's friend, and the USA can no longer be considered a reliable ally.

But not any time soon.
Corbyn in his conf speech: "I want Your Party to be just that — your party.

"One message that has come from members is that they want the democratic structures of the party to be in place as soon as possible. They don’t want the party to belong to MPs.

"I agree!" He says it will be handed over.
