Thats the straw thats going to break the camel's back I reckon...

I think the cult is breaking mate... Even the staunchest MAGA idiots are starting to question the goonish tactics now.. AND picking a fight with the spiritual leader of 20% of the US population (most of whom would have been MAGA to the hilt 3 weeks ago) isnt going to make him more popular ..

A lot of those MAGA idiots wanna be more extreme unfortunately. A lot of that movement is the “America First” Groypers (led by Nick Fuentes, a professional antisemite and incel).

Heard a comment of you just need and American amongst a group of Commonwealth people to see how similar we are to British people and how different to Americans. They've got some warped perceptions of humour and a mass misinterpretation of our banter that goes over their head.

So we're up to three assasination attempts now? I'm losing count. What a nuthouse.

Canary Islands' leader says he opposes plan to let virus-hit cruise ship dock there

"I can not allow [the boat] to enter the Canaries," says Fernando Clavijo - he is seeking an urgent meeting with the Spanish government in Madrid.

Here we go. A lot of (mis)information about how it has been spread human to human which is apparently impossible.

Hantavirus may have spread between passengers on cruise ship, WHO says

Two cases of the virus, which rarely spreads between humans, have been confirmed on the ship, and three people have died.

So there's one strain that rarely can be spread human to human which is concerning.

Election results 2026 live: Follow the vote counts and reaction

Labour suffers a historic loss in Wales as Reform wins more than 1,000 English council seats and Greens make gains.

www.bbc.com

I don't know enough about local UK elections to know whether this is some bombshell but people have some out and voted to give their piece. They'll be ridiculed and ignored again only to lose more votes.

The Labour Party have been hung, drawn and quartered....

I know I shouldn't but this is funny.....

I'm not sure which will kill the Labour Party the most....

Losing it's 'forever' small town working-class communities in the North and Midlands to Reform UK or it's recently found urban-inner city, university educated hipsters to the Greens....

Places like Wigan, Sunderland and Hartlepool are as working class as 'meat pie and chips' and have been nailed on Labour Party towns all my entire life but have well and truly stuck two fingers up at them.....

But I actually think it might be the departure of the young, idealistic, pro-European, anti-billionaire, sourdough-baking voters which will hurt most of all.

The graduates, the public sector professionals, the creatives – they were 21st century Labour’s extended family. They were being given new ‘rights’ – as gig economy employees, as renters, with votes at 16 and a European Youth Mobility Scheme in preparation – but they still moved left to the Green Party.

A Green Party which barely mentions climate change and ecological issues anymore and is far more infatuated with Palestine.....

No different to the German SPD and while a single comment won't sum it up, they've just stuffed up so hard and are bumbling fools. These parties were given a chance after years of conservative refusals to modernise anything and they went on the make things worse.

I was always a Labour Party voter/supporter and when it came to the EU in/out referendum vote I was a reasonably solid remainer..

However once the electorate voted to leave in 2016 I fully accepted the democratic process and especially because it was the biggest turn out in any British election or referendum.

The Labour Party initially supported the electorate by saying that they would abide by the referendum result but started to undermine the decision and the process and were th3n calling for a second referendum....

After that I was finished with them!

Scottish Greens confident that MSP will be able to renew visa

Q Manivannan, who has a student visa, was able to stand for election after changes in eligibility rules.
