Will Farage change his mind now Putin’s condemned Trump? Can’t be easing having to keep both of your finance sources happy if they are arguing.

It will be interesting seeing him try to not pick a side in public.

Farage has to now choose between his arse and his elbow. Stupid boy.

See the thread on Venezuela

Yes. I just popped there to have a look. You could draw a Venn diagram, couldn't you?

We were sat at swimming this morning when the newsflash came in and another parents said “and apparently he wants the peace prize”

I’m holding off responding to some posters whatever they say on whatever thread - even trivial ones - because it’s just not worth it.

Good policy.

A policy I should have followed

Same

Probably the same PP too

What is the betting that some of the posters who think this is a good thing are also posters who have referred to Blair as Bliar or have an issue with Iraq and WMD?

Trump blindsides me regularly- but imagine waking up as Starmer, or other leader, wondering every single day what he’s done - terrible job to have. I’d be more at ease as Davey feeling able to make my point (obviously due to his different position)
Pleased Farage has to choose Russia or US but he’ll wriggle around it of course, just hope it causes him personal trouble working it out.
Just said on other thread that Trump has said the US will be ‘strongly involved’ in the Venezuelan oil industry going forwards - I don’t even know how that’s a thing he can do - or how that’s ok. I appreciate that Venezuela is in its own difficult times, but US intervention isn’t going to help anyone much - except Trump, maybe.

Badenoch started her statement saying that there is a lot of noise from people who couldn't locate Venezuela on a map

Is she thinking that little of her voters? Or herself?

Fucking hell, she is very stupid.

I was expecting her to remind everyone about the oil deal between London and Venezuela which Boris Johnson cancelled. Perhaps her memory does not go back that far.

Incoming abstention?

There’s going to be a motion of censure at the UN and Starmer is going to have a decision to make.

My Labour MP has condemned this. I hope he took his cue from Starmer who needs to be on the right side of history on this.

There is also something with Venezuelan gold frozen by the BoE

I really should have adopted this policy!

You are doing sterling work Pan.

Thank you!

Agree valiant effort

Starmer on LK

“If it’s in our national interest to have even closer alignment with the single market than we should consider that, we should go that far”

Venezuela makes it clear how much has been lost by Brexit.

I’d like to see Starmer move further on this but it’s a start.

Nice to see that Badenoch recognises the value of EU membership - EU membership is a burger and a customs union a napkin - shame then she can’t offer either.

The ramblings from Badenoch lately I’m wondering whether she’d even recognise herself in the mirror
