Listening to Jennrick turn a TV interview into a whinge that they don’t question other parties as hard as them I think all journalists should have a list of difficult questions they’ve asked other party politicians and just hit him with them when ever he tries his time wasting.

Listening to a business complain about the rise in minimum wage, and I just felt that if a 3% rise in the legal minimum safeguard for the least experienced people in the simplest of jobs, has such a big impact, you’re probably exploiting most of your staff.

I get that it will influence those higher wages they pay too, but still not planning to rise your worst paid staff annually seems Scroogelike.

50 days to go. If you were affected by the Armed Forces LGBT Ban 1967-2000 you can apply for the Financial Recognition Scheme and other forms of recognition. Apply by 12 December 2026. gov.uk/affected-by-the-ban #LGBTBan #ArmedForcesGayBan #YouDeserveRecognition

It’s truly amazing how often a Terry Pratchett quote can be applied to contemporary affairs, a great author and observer who should replace some of the school ‘classics’ and deserves films, series & plays created from his stories more than some authors who already have them.

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

When it comes to large scale military conflicts, there is great strategic value in having no plan or goals whatsoever.

I know it’s very difficult for many of you to comprehend, but there is no grand plan when it comes to Iran, Russia, etc. Trump simply makes decisions on the fly, based on what suits him and the US at any given point in time.

We've created a society where being suspicious of experts is considered critical thinking. But being suspicious of conspiracy theories is considered closed-minded.

It wouldn’t be odd for the security services to change their mind over time, especially as more evidence becomes available, but given Russia’s long exposed manipulation of media from the cold war onwards what would odd is if they didn’t meddle in our elections and referendums.

Russia invaded Ukraine. The first country to surrender was the United States.

On the day they announce public executions, they attack the Court that prosecutes war crimes, which they’re not a signatory to so is no threat to their citizens. How can we operate alongside a country that denies the need for a court to prosecute war crimes.

I recognise they’re probably bots or disingenuous antagonists, but as someone who’s actually served in multiple real conflicts, I do just want to tell many people who respond some of my less flog ‘em all posts with ‘get a grip’.

Aged 18, I spent the summer of 1963 in the US. It seemed light years ahead of boring old Britain. Now I read of attempts to put a Tennessee woman to death with outdated drugs. In hospital afterwards she is handcuffed and chained to a bed. I love the US, but advanced it isn’t.

As a 50 year old man I find it utterly cringe that my generation calls younger people snowflakes, when they themselves lose their shit at a slight design change to a bottle cap or the packaging on some mince.
