US Politics

Well it depends. I have no problem with some of the milder insults (if you can call them that) as the forum chat gets into robust debate. The "report" function is for abusive comments (obscenity or vulgar words) and I think every one you have reported has not met that standard. The HOL should be a snowflake-free zone!

Oh my 🤣

This could happen, especially if ill health is involved.....US presidents have been too old for no good reason, it's like a western Saudi.

I wouldn't be surprised if another respiratory virus turned up in his last year either.

Vance is a more articulate talker than Trump and there are quite a few talents in Trump's cabinet who will be facing off against each other come that time.

Rubio is another strong contender, Bondi might even throw her hat in the ring.

Vance may talk billhooks better than Trump but it’s still billhooks. He is also a seriously nasty man. Trump is just an unwell puppet. Talents in Trump’s cabinet? A talent for being sycophantic is all I see. Rubio has something about him but how long will he last? Bondi? You can’t be serious.

How long do we have to wait to make a judgement? Presumably you think Truss was not given enough time - let alone Trump?

It wasn’t me who made the judgement was it? It was the markets who produced an unsustainable situation. That said we had heard more than enough from her earlier to form an opinion. Which she has done nothing since to dispel. Truss is everything that is wrong with the Tories.

in your dreams old man!! I dont need your fake kindness....you just carry on defending Two Tier Kier and all his useless ideas......wants us back in EU now, totally ignoring a legal referendum....sooner hes gone the better and he can take the thieving |Reeves with him !! Reform are coming for him.....guess youll be calling for Cornwall to be made a republic when that happens?

When have I “defended” Starmer? There’s no need to do that but there is a need to counter the large dollops of bs that routinely appear in this echo chamber of self righteousness. Emphasis on the right!

Which you demonstrate to perfection in every line of the above. It is nice to be perfect at something!

Nothing new about it - they've always been happy to dish it out but can't take it 🙂

Then complain about the erosion of free speech. You’ve got to laugh, it’s so pathetic.

Trump's push for negotiations does not mean he is siding with Russia. He is trying diplomacy to end bloodshed he is not picking who wins and who looses.

Leverage in talks can protect Ukraine’s interests without escalating the conflict further.

Trump is to diplomacy as a sledgehammer is to a Swiss watch.

Part of a magic act?

How many tiers?

The main thing that is wrong with the Tories is that they are not Tories - even you pretend to be one.

You have to admire the gall of people who support the left and preferred Starmer to the alternatives on offer telling us that because Trump often uses half truths and sometimes lies that we should be outraged.

Every single politician in the public eye today has been lying....some more than others....it comes down to whether you can stomach the particular brand of lies.

Starmer himself lies about pretty much everything....doesn't care whether he's lying to the left or lying to the right.

But apparently if Trump lies, that's meant to be beyond the pale.

A very weak defence of Trump. But then what else have you got?

Typical lefty, never satisfied, always asking for more.

Here's one.
