Wes Streeting denies he likes a coup, regardless, the bond markets won't like it so Govt borrowing costs will increase tomorrow. Looks like the budget could get even worse than we feared. Wow.

Shocking isn't it, thought I'd be the first to mention it. 3 million, that's 50% more than the entire population of Gaza. I wonder why nobody else has mentioned it?

Who'd have thought it? https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-871941 If you're not keen on the JP, Tousi TV on youtube has some interesting footage.

Doesn't effect me as I'm retired, but I read earlier Labour are considering lowering the VAT threshold from £90k to £30K At that level it would surely pull in almost every small/sole trader in construction trades. If this did happen, surely the result would be devastating for both sole...

Not quite, but he's demolishing a wing and rebuilding it a bit larger to accommodate a ballroom. News showed a woman openly weeping and mourning the death of democracy. It should be noted that Trump and donors are funding this. It should also be noted, quite a few Presidents have made major...

Very emotional scenes on the news tonight of people being reunited with their families. Heart warming. Let's hope for positivity moving forward.

Nice to see him get a knighthood, one of the finest actors this country has produced. Done some great work over the years since his beginning as Sid Vicious in Sid and Nancy through to Churchill in the Darkest Hour. I'm currently watching Slow Horses on Apple TV, Oldman is superb.

JohnD is getting a bit trigger happy with his comparison of Jews to Nazis which I've reported to the Mods. If his offending posts are not removed I will also report them to the police. Carry on.

Surprising read tonight. WTAF?
