I don't recall the Express complaining about lack of representation for the LibDems in previous elections. I wonder why they are making this an issue this time around? 🤔

I know people like our quirky tradition of monster raving loons and joke candidates but I think it's time to move on from that stuff now and grow up a bit. But enough of Jacob Rees-Mogg ....

Things Biden could do that would take attention away from the debate and his age: (1) Call for expanding the Supreme Court (2) Announce that he's ending or strictly conditioning military aid to Israel until the war in Gaza ends

“Israel has seized control of 26 percent of the Gaza Strip.. Palestinians are barred from entering, residential buildings were destroyed, vegetation has been uprooted and the IDF built a new road with four bases. "This is an effort toward a prolonged occupation.”

"Starmer won his massive majority not because of the popularity of his more of the same" agenda, but because the Tory vote spectacularly imploded.
Britain’s electoral system is absurdly disproportional, and desperately in need of modernisation."

This will be doubly awkward as the number of NOMINATIONS required for a candidate to make the Tory Leadership ballot ISN'T a percentage. It's a fixed number. 100 MPs. I'm sure it sounded reasonable at the time. Good luck getting 100 Tory MPs to agree on something when there are only 121 of them.

‘Israel’s continued operation in Gaza has caused so much anger and humiliation in the Arab world that it is burying the deep rifts between nationalist and Islamist political forces which emerged after the Arab Spring over 13 years ago.’

Puppet Keith Starmer sounds good, he can take the flak for everything, any chaos etc. while the Unions build power and force concessions that materials improve our lives, and then ditch him, bury him, crush him, once the going is good

It is a moral failing that one in six UK voters chose Reform—whose representatives praised Hitler and openly promulgated racism that went beyond the usually-accepted implicit racism in the UK; it is also a moral failing that Labour decided to appeal to these voters and jettisoned its historical base

Israel is, like the US, committed to total non-defensive global annihilation. The US and its 51st state are the greatest threat to the world.

I'll say more. Labour takes power in a terrible moment (poor growth, public services in terminal crisis, Brexit effects). Voters may get angry and frustrated soon as things deteriorate. Labour comes to power with only 35% of the vote. The risk of a fascist takeover in the next election seems high.

It’s so weird that the authors of the 14th amendment banned racial discrimination *and* insurrectionists holding high office. Almost as though those issues were somehow linked.

If you believe in zero immigration, zero tolerance for 'woke' and Full English Brexit, then the Tories are on the left. These people are not remotely living in the same world as us.

Due to the fireworks, New York City's air quality is the worst in the world tonight.
When AQI is low, it's a good idea to wear a mask to protect your health.
But this could soon be a crime, as one of the mask ban bills prohibits masks at "lawful assemblies."
