Pull up a chair for some friendly chit chat about politics and beyond

Taxes optional but greatly appreciated.

Goodness, it's relentless isn't it!

Well, I guess Klaus Schwab and the WEF are off the hook now. They were a big favourite amongst the MN conspiracy theorists for a while, but don't seem to be mentioned these days.

Trumps speech to the journalists on his flight over told me everything I needed to know.

For Trump this is a “everyone loves me” photo OP.

He’s becoming more of a slime ball everyday of possible

Is that possible 🙈 - every single day I guess!
I saw a fuller photo elsewhere and Kate and William looked equally as fed up. I also realised melania was in very dark grey and not black but face hidden - to avoid her fed up ness I guess.
Astounded at the outright fuss made of him, as in all the events - think I’d forgotten it was a state visit and what that entails.

The video is even better. Check out the King’s face. It’s entertained me as I’m confined to our hotel room - only I could get ill on holiday.

Ah no - hope you’re better very soon.

Is Melania's hat replacing her sunglasses? Does she have eye problems?

Why choose a landlord to lead this "report" ?

She will still have 8 properties left.

Some peole really don't like their tenants/emplyees having rights.

Interesting that the BBCs "take" on it was basically so nakedly partisan.

So much for the "balance" which inflicted Brexit and astrology on us.

I think the hat is deliberate so she can ignore Trump and he can’t get near enough to kiss her, I have seen her wear similar ones before.

Quite a gloomy outfit really.

I imagine much of the anti Fabian sentiment is more encoded anti semitism.

Surely Elon Musk himself is an immigrant , via Canada, to the USA?
Odd isn't it.
The rich are scared of fairness for all.
In my opinion.

He is from South Africa, that's why Trump granted asylum to some white South Africans.
