Great news. That's a big tick for Latin America.

Vitally important that we permanently make ourselves poorer and lower our quality of life though.

Glad to hear there's more context. Hopefully common sense will prevail.

I haven't read beyond the headline but if there isn't more to this story how is this allowed? Surely we should be looking to change this?

He said he was even a goal threat at Southampton recently.

Pretty sure it tends to recommend posts to you based on your history and who you are following so if you get a lot of that type of thing I'd take a look at that first.

I heard there was more than just that.

Loads of stuff flying around about Rwanda and Southport this morning. No idea if they're true but if it's close to what's being alleged then incredibly awkward for Starmer to put it mildly.

Not sure I'd take him to be honest. It's just replacing one ineffective option with another one.

Edozie is not good enough. Do you really think he would look anything other than total crap in the prem? Hopefully he improves enough that he can do a job in a lower league next season.

Nothing to do with me. I'd just question the principles of people who essentially say "it's alright when they do it."

Weirdly some people seem to care more about human rights and the law when one party is in power.

Much easier to do when you don't have an army of human rights lawyers ideologically opposed to you tying you up in legal knots.

You're a clinical moron.

Fascists lol. Behave.

Agree with all of that, particularly Alan Whitehead who I knew to be a really good bloke and who I voted for a few times. Glad we could find some common ground at least.

I said comes across as more authentic than Kamala Harris which clearly he did. I wasn't asking about exciting characters necessarily, just intelligent, principled politicians with substance who are able to articulate their ideas clearly and maybe be a bit inspiring as well. Those type of people are in rather short supply in Westminster whereas a few decades ago there were a number across all parties.

His Bajesty DM'd me some of his poetry once to critique.

Yeah I think those views aren't right. His stuff in nutrition though is great and I fully support all of that.

I'm not an expert but I believe he was criticising the high prices that America had to pay for some medications and he was proposing a cap on what can be charged. He's also criticised the fact that certain food additives are banned in most countries but not in America where some of those responsible for banning them have had conflicting industries with some of the big food companies. I believe he claimed not to be anti vaccine but instead claimed there weren't enough trials to check if they are safe or not (can't say I know enough about that myself but I'm not sure I'd agree with that stance.) That all seems reasonable to me but like I said he's also said some mad things about fluoride in the water, MMR vaccine conspiracies and raw milk.

100% agree. People can rightly hate Donald Trump but he isn't scripted and basically says whatever he likes which means he comes across as more authentic. I'd like some more authenticity in UK politics and like you say delete their social media and tell us what you really think.

You could apply that to the majority of MPs. Social media has made everyone scared of having convictions and it's all baiut soundbites and sticking to the party line. Tedious and deeply uninspiring.

Liz truss in particular was total shit and she deservedly got booted out quickly. It was one big reason that the Conservatives were rightly booted out at the last election. I don't get your point.

Perceptions are quickly set and difficult to shake off. At best the budget has gone down neutrally and from some businesses rather poorly. I'll be watching with interest the financial performances of America and the UK given they appear to be on diametrically opposed paths.

I didn't say or think that. Well aware of when the next election will be thanks. Early Tory incompetence at the start of their last election win stored up resentment that contributed to their loss. The same thing will happen with Labour if they can't turn things around.
