So is there any connection between the extraordinary heat waves in Europe and the missiles, rockets and explosives that have been sent up over the Ukraine, Russia, and the Middle East in the last few months?

Do Ofwat bear no share of responsibility for the water supply crisis in Kent? Have no lessons been learnt from earlier chaos two and three years ago?

Trump has hijacked his own cabinet meeting to talk about his remodeling project for at least 5 minutes now. He's totally sunk in his dementia and his entire cabinet is sitting there chuckling.

Trump just claimed that “25 years ago” he said that NATO would never come to our aid. 25 years ago was 2001. That was literally the time that NATO came to our aid after 9/11. The only time any NATO member has exercised Article 5. He continues to antagonize our allies. He needs to go.

I cannot believe that a mad man has been raging and rambling at a Cabinet meeting of the most powerful govenment in the world with a crowd of puppets nodding in approval of the utter garbage he's spouting instead of finding a straight jacket and carrying him off to an asylum!

Wasn't Mandelson's involvement with the Hinduja brothers long before the latest debacle sufficient to disqualify him as a candidate for the Washington job? Who else was on the slate for it?

Tariffs imposed on European countries in efforts to force a sale of Greenland to the US are "completely wrong," said the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer www.itv.com/news/2026-01...

Agreed this is shameful

And there are decent Americans out there…lots of them. You need to all get active now!!!

Given the shift of the Trump regime towards Putin's Russia, shouldn't the UK and Nato allies be reviewing the presence of US bases on their territory/territories? Don't they now represent a potential threat to liberal democracy?

The Donald Trump peace plan is nothing of the sort. It takes Russian demands and presents them as peace proposals, in what is effectively for Ukraine a surrender ultimatum news.sky.com/story/trump-...

The chairman of the Senate Armed Services is not a fan of the Trump admin’s Ukraine peace plan.

“Trump now takes Putin’s side. Europe must choose again: appeasement or our values, imperialism or freedom”

That Trump plan to end the war is for Ukraine to surrender, right?

Rather than amend or withdraw from the European Convention would it not be worth looking at a "derogation" from specific provisions of the Convention to enable the UK (in company with others)to manage immigration flows generally and, in particular, irregular and unfounded claims for asylum.

Those Reform nutjobs reminded me: "Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, grabbing an Indian curry or Turkish kebab takeaway, then going home to sit on Swedish furniture & watch American shows on a Japanese TV, while being suspicious of anything foreign."

Some "Claims Management" companies now using Martin Lewis as prominent click bait advertising for their services.

Don’t sign up with car finance claim firms. They are parasites who will take your money bit.ly/4l6pp7B Before 8o’clock Monday @TheFCA will announce its plans about compensation for millions of missold customers after Supreme Court ruled in favour of one

Do not sign up for car finance redress with claims firms bit.ly/41l2kad Monday morning @TheFCA will announce its plan to compensate customers after Supreme Court rule in favour of one claimant but against two others. Claims firms are parasites that will take your money

Do not sign up for car finance redress with claims firms, warn regulators bit.ly/41l2kad if Supreme Court rules in favour of consumers on Friday @TheFCA will introduce a free redress scheme within six weeks. The claims firms are parasites that will take your money

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity. There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

The biggest windfall would enrich the so-called claims management companies charging 30% or more in Commissions to those taken in by their widespread advertising! What say you finance and legal regulators?

NOW 349 DAYS since our nuclear test veterans - national heroes in their eighties - requested a meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss how he will honour the commitment Labour made to their campaign for justice & compensation in opposition youtu.be/hSQNLn2Ocr8?...

Why no mention of this on today's BBC Morning Live coverage of intermediators offering paid for advice for freely available compensation procedures?

Any view on the "ambulance chasing" lawyers offering to pursue claims for missold car finance deals. Some apparently proposing to charge "fees" for work done even if claims not taken forward. Does the Law Society approve of these activities?

Seriously, if this doesn't define "Oligarchy", nothing does. Two guys who inherited their wealth, pay no taxes, steal US secrets & PII on everyone in the US, spreading bullshit like it's fertilizer, all while starving children (SNAP), and killing kids (Medicaid/USAID); people think this is OK.

And that, as they say, is that. End of the week. Time to sign off social media and work, and as its mini MSE's half term next week (& a bank holiday). I'm taking my MoneySavingExpert hat off and putting my Daddy one on instead (its my favourite hat). Have a lovely bank holiday if you can.

Now this is an alternate reality I can live with!

An excellent illustration of the utter economic incontinence of the Trumpers' Tariff formula. Not even wrong.

Would seem extremely unwise to make a trade deal with a man who puts tariffs on an island inhabited only by penguins, no tariffs on Russia and ruinously high tariffs on some of the poorest countries in the world. Trump is a wildly mad and vindictive autocrat. Trying to please him is treacherous.
