Yep 7 consecutive failures. I suspect many in Clacton a regretting giving him his eventual win.

Would Greens be prepared to form an alliance with the LibDems if it meant keeping Reform out of power?

Exactly

Trump has a number of personality disorders that have been with him his whole life. Added to that are the varied bigotries from his upbringing and that he accquired from people around him.

What is new is that he is losing the ability to regulate his impulses. The result is ugly and cruel.

We need to apply solar fields more intelligently.

Agrovoltaics has demonstrated how placing crops under elevated solar panels can reduce evaporation, protect from excess heat, stabilise humidity, boost biodiversity and crop yield. Farms are doing this in France Germany, Spain, Denmark and Japan.

Between 2000 and 2019 Nigel Farage appeared on Question Time 38 times having never been an MP.

Between 2014 and 2019 he appeared more than any other guest (14 times)

Maybe LeagleEagle shoud do a video on how things would play out if the next administration ratified the Rome Statute.

For someone who according to these games is getting a lot of sex, Hitler still looks really angry and uptight.

Europe continues to supply Ukraine with the support and equipment needed to destroy Russia's ability to continue this war.

America stops wasting everybodys time acting as though it has any worthwhile role to play.

America does have perfectly good laws.

However it has spent the last few years demonstrating to the entire world that it doesn't have a perfectly good legal system.

Russia cannot be trusted and Europe needs to present a united defensive front regardless of Americas position.

Not necessarily when ratifying the Statute of Rome the joining state can grant specific retroactive jurisdiction. For example going back to Jan 2025. The ICC would then have the right to extradite thos charged with crimes in that period for trial at the Hague.

To be fair the big players (Germany, France, Italy etc) have been very positive about our rejoining, even trying to get Starmer to apply. From an economic, defence and technological collaboration angle we do bring a lot to the table. The issue might be Hungary.

The richest man in the world decided to let hundreds of thousands die and then joked about it on twitter

Why is no on talking about this?
Why are members of the government happy to use his platform, happy to let him do business here?
WHY THE FUCK is he walking around free?

Not just you. After my first three guesses I had real difficulty thinking of a fourth guess.

The next administration could do it with reroactive jurisiction for the entire period of Trumps second term. The US has alienated every friend it ever had. So there is some serious fence mending to do.

It would be nice to see Hegseth and Musk in the Hague.

A future administration could ratify the Rome Statute specifically giving retroactive juridiction.

Interestingly if they did this the ICC could also extridite Elon Musk for Crimes against Humanity (USAID cuts).
December 2, 2025 at 2:41 PM
Given how much the US has to make up for to the rest of the world after this shit show it is the least they can do.
December 2, 2025 at 1:49 PM
Given the opportunity the ICC probably does.
December 2, 2025 at 1:44 PM
Maybe the next administration could do the decent thing and ratify the Rome Statute because a US presidential pardon means fuck all to the ICC.

Then "Whisky-Pete" can be tried for war crimes at the Hague before spending the rest of his life avoidng dropping the soap in an eastern European prison.
December 2, 2025 at 1:44 PM
I suspect that the US knew there were no drugs, they knew it was a war crime and they wanted no witnesses left alive.
