Spot on. Forget realpolitik @Keir_Starmer try bravery and decency. You are a decent man, we are still at heart a decent country and will support you, our Jewish community will. The right wingers who don’t support you will publicly shame themselves. Ignore Trump, listen to us!
The way to do this is to summon the Israeli Ambassador, explain that if aid isn’t trucked in without hindrance within 24 hours then all economic and military ties will be suspended, sanctions imposed, the Ambassador expelled, and Britain will join South Africa’s ICJ case. But no.
Our children are cleverer than us, Chris! And a bit of advice, based on my experience of many years ago - when your adored child suggests extending the Monopoly embarrassment over several days - refuse! If you don’t, you will only end up significantly more humiliated!
How come every time we play Monopoly on holiday, my daughter Lily ends up owning the whole board and I am left whimpering and cowering in the corner with a couple of bank notes? She thrashes me into oblivion every time!
I think you misunderstand. Of course one could go search for it - I’m not a total Luddite, I know how this works. My point was that it was important news - ipso facto something one shouldn’t have to search for. BTW I think you work for the BBC @johnshea63 ?….
It hasn’t ‘dropped off the BBC News website’. Like most such webpages, once published it stays published. Here’s the link, with screenshots showing that I’ve searched for it and found it in the past few minutes. bbc.com/news/articles/…
But we “can’t afford” pediatric cancer research.
Trump will fly on Air Force One to Scotland for a golf trip. He will spend the weekend at his golf club before attending the opening of a new golf course. This will cost taxpayers an estimated $10 million.
Oh boo hoo. I don’t get any of that stuff, nor do millions of others. I am a great fan of the whole medical profession, but you need to remember why you became a doctor and if it was for the money, you should consider doing another job.
Doctors DON’T have a final salary pension Doctors DON’T get their exams paid for Doctors DON’T get overtime Doctors DON’T get their equipment paid for Doctors DO pay for their own training Doctors DO pay for their own stationary Doctors DO earn less now than 2008 in real terms
Ok @Keir_Starmer NOW! Tonight. Stop crawling up Trump’s arse, call your actual allies in Europe then call Netanyahu and tell him it’s all over. We as a nation cannot be associated with this crazed Nazi and his war crimes. Not in my name, Keir, none of us voted for this. SORT IT.
I notice that the death of the incomparable Cleo Laine has already dropped off the @BBCNews website. Am I surprised? No. Am I angry? Bloody right - I don’t register the name of a young actor who might be a rapist, I don’t really care about South Park, but Dame Cleo? Do better BBC
I’m not a fan of Morgan, but this is good, informed and passionate journalism. We need more of this from the BBC please.
4 minutes of brilliance from @piersmorgan, dismantling yet more nonsense about Gaza. Whatever your view of him, you’re missing out if you don’t watch it. Everyone should watch it and draw their own conclusions about this shameful period in world history.
Bit of advice @Keir_Starmer recognise the Palestinian State today. Distance yourself from Trump as much as realpolitik allows. The resident doctors are pushing their luck, Corbyn is a deluded has been, there’s still a lot of support for you, but you need to be braver, not tougher
Nigel Planer must surely be edging towards 'national treasure' status.
Time for bed, said Nigel, and it was.
Wow.

FFS @BBCNews so Hulk Hogan died. So really who cares? Is it really a lead story with all the other shit that’s happening? Do better please.
So I’m listening to @BBCWorldatOne in utter horror and disbelief. I know this sounds naive, but there’s a solution to the Gaza horror- STOP SUPPORTING AND SUPPLYING NETANYAHU AND HIS FASCIST THUGS! Do it now @Keir_Starmer and tell your fellow leaders to follow your example. Now.
So - simple question: why did ANYONE vote for this appalling women? She’s obviously not very bright, but also imbued with the deep seated mendacity and plain evil that is the bedrock of Reform. And she’s talking about suing her OWN constituents for calling out her lies FFS?
Sarah Pochin calls a Runcorn street a hotbed of crime, HMO’s and rubbish laden. Residents say it’s simply not true and she’s lying. Pochin then seeks legal action against the people who say she’s not telling the truth. What an MP eh, looking out for constituents.
Question for @Keir_Starmer - did you read excellent ‘Age of Hope’ by Richard Toye? Are you currently watching The Improbable Mr Attlee on BBC 4? Nope? that’s a shame, because whilst Attlee and the 1945 government were by no means perfect, they genuinely did good socialist stuff.
I fear that a significant part of the problem is that the major labels take the same ludicrously high proportion of songwriters income that they have always done. Oh, and creative people are treated with no respect by the political elite - our genuine talent terrifies them!
Research from the UK’s Intellectual Property Office found that a songwriter whose work achieves 1 million streams per month - a threshold met by only 0.026% of tracks - can expect to earn just £15,288 per year, less than full-time minimum wage.
This demented buffoon said he made a trade deal with President Ferdinand Marcos. Only problem is Marcos has been dead since 1989! 😂 What an embarrassment! #DementiaDon
And he’ll send our best criminals a membership form for Reform.
