Hard to tell from the latest by-elections because turnout wasn’t great but Labour didn’t gain a fat lot of votes from 2019, the Tories lost shed loads though. Hard to know how that will transfer at a GE with what you imagine would be a higher turnout but it certainly backs up what you say. 2019...

Best thing Sunak can do for his party is pull the trigger for a GE in May at the latest. It must be clear to even the Tories that the longer they put it off the worse it will be for them. The longer they stay on the more they’ll piss off voters. It’s clear that the country wants change and the...

Didn’t think that Labour could win Dorries old seat but they have (took Tamworth too). Even by by-election standards that’s a big win. It was supposed to be the safest Tory seat in the country IIRC.

The election was stolen con being unwound a lot today. Sidney Powel has pleaded guilty to election interference in the Georgia election case and part of her plea bargain is she’ll testify against her co-conspirators. Presumably that includes Trump. She is now a prosecution witness. Presumably...

Seems to me the sensible approach would be a ceasefire and full return to aid deliveries (hearing on the radio today that a handful of aid lorries were allowed in through the Egyptian border post, which sounds good but then they said that in “normal” times 200 lorries of aid a day go through the...

It will never happen. I’m old enough to remember when we’d defeated the Taliban. Whatever happened to them? It’s so much bigger than a specific number of people, it’s an ingrained mentality caused by many influences from circumstance of being born in Gaza. The only way you’ll rid the world of...

So much conflicting info flying around I don’t know what to believe at the moment. But here’s some thoughts and questions. Yes the creator is small but the damage is wide, saw one suggestion that it could have been an incendiary device which explodes over a site with the carcass making a small...

Interesting that Sunak hasn’t followed the US and is urging MP’s to be cautious what they say while the UK does its own investigation. No sign of the government echoing the UN’s calls for a complete ceasefire for humanitarian aid to come in. James Cleverly just brushed off Caroline Lucas in the...

And then they pay corporation tax at about 1% by using loopholes and clever accounting. Taking the piss twice.

Been closed for over 20 years . Israel ripped up the runway in 2002 having bombed it the previous year. Breaking the Oslo accords in the process .

Israel back to blaming Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Just looked up their arsenal capabilities and it’s no better than Hamas, worse if anything.

You’re doing one of 3 things here. You’re either confusing lbs for kgs. Or maybe you’re confusing Hezbollah for Hamas. Or you’re just believing any old shit you read on the internet. Again, for context. The largest Qassam rocket they have has a 10kg warhead and stands 2.5 meters tall. Where’s...

The cartwheels people are doing in their heads.

That’s bullshit. If they had hardware that capable they would have used them last Saturday when they caught Israel with their pants down.

So even if what they’re claiming is true they’re trying to claim that a 10kg warhead could do that much damage. Again to put it into some sort of context the Brighton bomb was 9kgs or thereabouts. It killed 5 people, injured 31 and the building was far far from destroyed. It’s a nonsense and...

The largest Qassam rocket that Hamas use has a warhead of 10kgs, to put that in some sort of context a typical infantry bazooka has a warhead of 1.5kgs. The entire weight of the largest Qassam rocket is roughly about 50kgs. Have you actually seen the footage of the explosion? You’re suggesting...

Any word from our government? Not seeing anything being reported.

Israel now trying to claim it was Hamas rocket barrage. It was a single missile. The footage has been shown around the world and you hear a single missile coming in followed by one single very large explosion.

Can’t see how Biden can’t call for an immediate ceasefire when he arrives in Israel tomorrow. He was due to meet Arab leaders but Jordan has called it off. What a mess.

Apparently Israel hit the same hospital earlier in the week. Arab nations who had normalised relations with Israel are pissed too.
