He actually answers questions. That's quite unusual. Listening to him being interviewed doesn't raise my blood pressure.

Watching him with his pals from Hamas used to raise my blood pressure.
Corbyn has the blood of around 1,200 innocent people, including children, on his hands.
Pensioners have been convicted as terrorists in this Country for holding up a piece of cardboard with 'I support Palestine Action' written on it.
PA activists were rightly jailed for destroying sone stuff belonging to an Israeli defence company, and badly injuring somebody while they were doing it. But PA haven't killed anyone as far as I know.
Hamas committed mass murder two and a half years ago, in an orgy of unspeakable savagery.
Yet Corbyn still sits in the Commons, planning to start his own political party.
What a nice old man.

Just a word on the "Iran peace deal" apparently about to be signed.
As far as I can tell, it is a deal that would mean
A) The USA and Iran stop shooting at each other.
B) The Strait or Hormuz is fully opened - so it returns to the way it was on the day before the Iran War began).
C) US forces lift their blockade on all Iranian ports.
D) A sixty day long ceasefire begins, to thrash out future arrangements over Iranian enriched Uranium & other matters.
IF all of those things happen it will be a good thing for the whole World.
But it is difficult to see how President Trump could sell that to the American People as a victory, or an example of him being a great peace-maker.
But, naturally humble chap that he is, I'm sure the Orange one will not even try to do that
Also, a deal like the one above does not of course mean an end to the Iran War.
At best a step towards it.
At worst just another twist that might buy a few weeks of less tension in the region and an increases in shipping through the Strait.
And of course, the whole thing could unravel if Benjamin Netanyahu & the Israeli Government decides to do their own thing and continue military operations in Lebanon. I don't think President Trump has as much sway with them as he likes people to believe he does.

That's below the belt, even for Putin...

I wouldn't blame the Ukrainians if they target the domes of the Kremlin Cathedrals now.
A test for Russian air defences.

So here are three main points from the latest Iran ceasefire agreement;
1. Enriched Uranium to be diluted on site in Iran under international inspection. Didn't Obama get that supposed commitment years ago?
2. Possible tolls payable to Iran and other local Nations for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. There have never been tolls before.
3. A $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran, supposedly paid for by other Gulf States - maybe the very ones Iran targeted during the War.
Also (not included in the document but natural consequences)
4. Lucrative contracts for China & Russia, to rebuild the Iranian Navy and other aspects of its military, with all the latest tech.
5. No regime change in Tehran. No freedom for the Iranian People from the Mullahs and the hated IRGC, both handed a massive propaganda coup.
Is President Trump really going to try to sell this to the American People as total victory?
Hey Mr Starmer (or Andy Burnham) - if the UK goes to War with America, maybe we'll be awarded a $300 billion reconstruction fund as well.

After those two monsters were jailed for murdering that baby boy, I'm all for bringing back the Death penalty.
Maybe after the next GE in 2029?
Hundreds of examples of scum like them are costing tax-payers £millions every year.
Give the families of their victims real justice, and draw a line under their vile crimes.
Hang them.

Agree 100%.
When there is no doubt whatsoever, let them drop.
I wouldn't stop at murderers: rapists, nonces and animal abusers would also swing if I had my way.
That would ease congestion in the prison system.
“The UK economy has taken a 6% hit from the effects of Brexit, according to economists' analysis of internal Bank of England data about the decisions, views and financial results of thousands of British companies since the referendum a decade ago.“

Can anyone answer this question;
Does the UK still pay into the European Union?
I would not be surprised if there was some kind of clause in the final Brexit deal that says we have to carry on paying in for 'n' years to come.
If not, then it is even more regrettable that the UK economy has taken a 6% hit - even after saving all the money we used to pay the EU.

Atm 55% of Brits support rejoining the EU, 34% oppose, according to Yougov polls. At a guess I'd say support would have to reach about 75% before it becomes a realistic possibility.I can believe it.

General election needed by September, unless one of the Labour MP’s from the last General Election will now lead the party and stick to the manifesto. Don’t hold your breath.
Yes, much better for the country to have a lying twat as Prime Minister, who isn’t bound by any General Election commitments made by their predecessor when winning their landslide mandate from the public.
Coronate King Burnham immediately.
I wonder who will bow to who when King Charles and King Andy meet
.
Opposition parties will always call for a GE when there's a new pm, and when an MP crosses the floor the other parties will always call for a by-election. The party which benefits will always disagree. Nigel did say that he would hold a by-election if Reform benefitted from this, but when push came to shove he did what all the rest do. However Burnham is on record as calling for a GE when Liz Truss came in, so can't just bat it away.
