By the same token the "Boris" ultras in the Tory party will hopefully have the same effect

Also Starmer will obviously resign if he is fined so I've no idea why he doesn't just get ahead of thr game and say it

I was delighted Corbyn won, I still think his was the best set of policies we've seen in a manifesto in a very long time, but I am more than willing to admit he was a disaster as a leader. The anti semitism, his vacuum regarding Brexit and his overall complete ineptness as a politician were sickeningly bad

Wes Streeting is the best media performer by far in my book. Haven't seen as much of him in the Commons to know how he would perform there

Quality is not a word that sprang to mind watching that cark

Labour performed as well as when all the Red Wall seats were Labour, so I'm not sure how much better you would expect than that

Baker to Mellor might be even worse than Rafa to Biffa Bacon

The religious far right now control the judiciary in the US. Elections will matter less and less in the future because at the very least Republicans will have the power to block anything they don't want with an increasingly small share of the vote Look at Biden, he nominally has the presidency the house and the senate but he can't pass anything worthwhile. Even if he wanted to US going to be a strange place in the next few years

Breaking news: Sir John Hall sells his share

Even if that is complete fantasy I am going to choose to believe it as fact -
I don't see it the same way. He is by many accounts the richest man in the world, but whereas before he would be welcomed anywhere in the world now he will be a pariah. If we get out of this without starting WW3 that is much more of a victory

Certainly feeding the military industrial complex. Sorry couldn't help myself

I think a partitioned Ukraine is inevitable, its just how long we take to get there. You make think that's a defeatist view, but let's not forget Russia annexed the Crimea in 2014 but held the World Cup in 2018 without a whimper of protest. You seem to think some sort of settlement in Ukraine will lead to Putin invading somewhere else, personally I can't see him taking on a NATO country, because even if he ends up with the Dombas the Crimea and Odessa make no mistake this has been a humiliation for him and Russia. Best outcome imo is negotiate a settlement, stop the war and stop buying his fucking oil.

Nobody is saying this, you're better than this

I've tried to avoid my main bugbear about this war, which is everything the US does, so by proxy the rest of the west, is about oil gas and other commodities. It's ludicrous to be advocating possible nuclear war when we ate funding arussia by buying its fuel
-
I don't disagree
-
Again I'm not trying to justify Putins position here but you can understand why he might have some paranoia about NATO intentions
